apocalypsosAnd because I've been gone all weekend, I didn't spot the link about when Hurley's episode is going to air. YAY! I can't wait for Hurley's episode. *happy dance*
So anyway, the link has some really good spoilers I hadn't seen already. (Sun's going to vanish?! Ack, no! Wait ... Jin vs. Michael male posturing! Woohoo!) It also has some really interesting speculation about what Hurley's big secret is, and I just know that until I find out what the hell it is, I'm going to be thinking about it every time I think about Lost from now until it airs. (Charlie and Claire may be my favorite couple, but my Hurley love knows no bounds.)
So here's my guesses --
1a. Okay, I call this 1a because I think this might be part of the "what Hurley really does" secret. I think they might make Hurley gay. Do I think that's a bad thing? No, of course I don't. The thing is, if they do go the incest way with Boone and Shannon, I can totally see them saying, "You know, we don't have any gay people on this island," and then looking at Hurley.
1. I honestly don't think that they're going to use the "saboteur" angle with him in regards to the plane crash. I'm starting to believe that it's more like somebody on the ground did something to make them crash. I mean, a circus plane crashes, and the French science team is stuck there, and now there's another crash? It seems like too much of a coincidence, especially considering Ethan passed himself off as a real survivor for so long to get to Claire and the baby. What do I think is a good guess from the ones Herc made? I like the one where he's a Microsoft millionaire. It makes sense in a geeky, amusing sort of way.
2. I keep trying to figure out what would make Hurley's secret so shocking. What would surprise me about what he does for a living? It would have to require him to be serious, to be highly skilled in something needing a high intelligence, and to be able to say he did an important job. (Whether or not he does have an important job is another discussion. And I love my Hurley, but he doesn't seem to be the sharpest knife in the drawer sometimes.) So here's what I'm thinking -- he's a computer genius working for the FBI. It would explain the geekiness, the "I'm something of a warrior back home" line, and the vaguely necessary but flawed ideas he gets. He's really trying to be helpful and important in a way that Boone is failing at because he's working with what he's good at and not putting himself out there about it.
3. Even if his spelling might be bad, I could still buy him as a writer. I mean, hell, how many writers do you know who can't live without spellcheck and grammar-Nazi editors but still manage to write well because they're incredibly creative?
4. Wouldn't it be great if he were a stand-up comedian? Not a famous one, obviously, but someone who was just getting up there and getting used to being on stage to the point where he was actively gaining an audience? He's got a healthy sense of humor, and he always recognizes when everybody needs to de-stress.
5. Do you know what I just realized? He's really concerned that everybody have a good time (or at least that they not fry their brains) and ... well, there's that list of the survivors. He did make a list. And then he checked it twice to find out who was naughty or nice. Maybe it's just because it's two days after Christmas, but wouldn't it great if he were really Santa Claus? HEE!
Speculating on Hurley's past is way too much fun. :)
Am watching tsunami/earthquake footage. Holy shit. *gapes*
Hmm. I have $40 in Borders gift certificates. Who's got some good book recs for me? I'm up for anything fantasy, horror, romance, or history. :)
