What did we learn from last night's episode of LOST?
Well . . .
1. We know that Sawyer continues to have "issues" with the island's fauna. First the wild boar, now the tree frog, next . . . a blowfish?
2. We now know what the numbers truly mean. If you ignore them as discrete digits and instead line them up like so--4,815,162,342--you get the number of times Locke will change the combination on the armory safe and ALSO the number of times that Jack and Locke will fight about it. I wish they could quit each other.
3. We also know what the Dharma Initiative was TRULY researching . . . how to achieve breakthroughs in extending the shelf life of perishable foods. I mean, come ON! Ranch dressing that doesn't go bad for seven year with no refrigeration? The island IS magical.
4. We know that the entire episode was a dream. How? Because Sawyer actually used someone's given name. (He said, "Hey Hurley . . . does this mean we're not friends anymore?" To which Hurley should have said, "Uh, yeah dude. Nobody's your friend after the gun-stealing stunt you pulled last week. And, oh yeah . . . stop calling me Jabba and maybe I'll give you the time of day . . . dude.")
5. We know that Sayid was . . . a TORTURER! Oh, wait . . . we've known that for a long time. Well, then, we know that the Americans TRAINED him to be a TORTURER! Oh, the horror! Americans corrupt everything we touch. Probably, Vice President Cheney taught Sayid how to shoot also.

(I miss the Transmission podcast, though! Come back Ryan and Jen!)
