*Delayed* LIVE Posting: Episode 3.10-Tricia Tanaka is Dead

Unfortunately, my local affiliate's commitment to (often sub-par, like tonight's losers) SEC basketball, LOST will be delayed until the end of the game. So I will be anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes behind you so please don't spoil anything. I'll let you know how long I'm delayed once the game is over. So until the end of the game, I'll be muttering how stupid KATV is under my breath...(if you want to, click KATV in the sentence above and e-mail them)

9:11PM-LOST begins 11 minutes late and is not in high definition. But at least it's here...

9:21PM (10 minutes into the show)-Interesting, Hurley as a kid has a thicker accent and darker skin. But that's kind of believable. But there were some continuity errors that I was surprised to see. I thought they would pay more attention to the details. The bones changed directions in Vincent's mouth, there were some shaving cream spots that disappeared without Charlie likely getting it off with the towel. Anyways, back to the show...

9:31PM (20 minutes into the show)-I liked the meteorite. Called it but still cool. So now Kate is calling Sawyer "James" most of the time. And how is it that they're just now finding the Dharma stuff, the car and the dart. I guess it's luck or the other things didn't have relevance. And maybe the dart doesn't. Anyways, Sawyer and Kate are back at the beach for a little bit. Of course, they're probably be leaving soon to go save Jack. Well, Kate at least...

9:41PM (30 minutes into the show)- We found out who Tricia Tanaka, the name in the episode title, is. And that she's dead. I liked the Hurley-Jin-Sawyer scenes. "Dude, I suck at charades, you wanna do what?", "well look who's hooked on phonics". And Kate's going to get help. I'm ready for some action. I think that may be coming up. Back to this one, where does the flashback fit in? Hopefully it's not as pointless as last week's...

9:51PM (40 minutes into the show)- I liked the skeleton jokes. This episode has been funny. A comedic episode before the non-stop action for a few weeks? Is there hope on the island? Will the car live again? The flashbacks are ok but the island scenes are what I've liked about this episode. Kind of a break from the action but that's ok. 20 minutes to go...

10:00PM (49 minutes into the show)- "Let's look death in the face and say 'whatever man.'", The nickname bit was funny. Jumbotron, lol. Redneck Man, that's a pretty tough nickname. Well I guess Hurley's going down that hill, I wonder if Charlie will go with him.

10:11 PM (end of show)- Nothing about this episode would make me think it was incredible. But I liked it. I liked the van and everything. The flashbacks were ok. And the last scene was a good setup for next week. The preview for next week looks great. I'm very glad to see those random scenes from a preview at the end of 3.07 are finally coming next week. I can't get my hopes too high because the previews are often deceptive but I think it will be great.

Observations coming tomorrow. Screenshots will be nothing special because of KATV (read the first paragraph of this post) and partly because there wasn't anything too amazingly screenshot worthy in this episode. Anyways, until next week...
