I have now watched the entire three hour finale 3 times (not counting the initial time or two of TNPLH Part 1). Sadly, I have the first three finales practically memorized . But for some reason, Season 4’s has been hard to wrap my little gray matter around. But I must blog on! So, I shall try to be slightly “poetic” and touch on some of the highlights and insights.
Aaron needs to go back (says creepy dream caller) but “Don’t you DARE..” (says creepy dream Claire).
Bernard’s Rose is on peanut patrol, Shorty!
Christian Shephard ” downsizes ” Michael Dawson
Daniel wants to leave REALLY badly but Charlotte wants to stay at her BIRTHPLACE?!
Exit stage left behind , via chopper, for Sawyer but not before he gives Kate his “last request”.
Funeral homes apparently have lousy security.
“Greenhouse effect” on Jack by Locke, “You’re gonna have to lie”.
Hallowax says bunny only “appears” to disappear.
Igloo-like time travelin’ bunny machine dwells ‘neath the hearty Anthuriums! ( Well, it did anyway . )
Jack is whack….the Island’s gone, dude. Or IS it? (thinking 4th dimensionally hurts a little)
Keamy is “Psycho-ed” by Ben but at the cost of the Freighter people. “So?”
Locke in the coffin freaked me OUT!
More Miles in Season 5, please. “What DO I mean?”
Numbers: on the helicopter 842, Jack hits Des 15 (shown) times on chest to revive him. (There’s more, I’m sure. Let me know what I missed ).
Oceanic 6 need to go back…and probably “on the run” Desmond and Frank…oh, and dead Locke. Have fun!
Penny and Desmond reunited…beyond sweet.
Questions & answers…Answers & questions…I love LOST!
Richard and Ben seem to have had a “falling out” but what’s the source?
Sayid visits Hurley, at Santa Rosa, playing chess with MR EKO (and wins playing from “the dark side”)?!
“The hand that turns the frozen donkey wheel rules the world! Oops! Sorry, I mean they can’t come back. Love, Jacob”.
Untimely death of Jin or did he jump off in time and got picked up by Daniel & The Red Shirts (That’d be a cool LOST Tribute band name)?
Video in the Orchid station rewinds and it appears that Locke does too? (Good eyes, Ryan and Jen)
Widmore and Sun in cahoots or is she playing him? Corporate takeovers…you just can’t stop at one.
Xerox copy of John Locke is Jeremy Bentham or is name just an alias?
Yellow lab Vincent, Smokey and The Hurley Bird are MIA …hmmmmm….
Zurich, Switzerland is Dean Moriarty’s (Ben Linus) birthplace on the passport he’ll use after leaving the Island (Thanks LOSTpedia for my Z).
He can fix your spine. He can fix your kite. He can fix that little plane crash story with the press. But the real question is….can he fix my back brakes?
See, they’ve been really grinding lately. If he can’t do it, I was thinking maybe he could at least float me a loan off some of that sweet O6 cash?
Happy LOST Thought of the Day : Jack telling Sawyer about his far-sightedness.
“Tell them that Mr. Eko let you live.” I haven’t decided if those are some of the best or worst words you could ever hear. (played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje )
Happy LOST Thought of the Day: (Locke and Eko) “Hello…….Hello”
Wayne Henderson of Wayne’s Take on LOST podcast posed this question in his latest podcast: “If Disney did a LOST Theme park addition to Disney World, what could be some of the attractions? (seeing ABC is Disney owned) Well, here’s some of my ideas that I sent him….
1. Catch a Falling Boar (and put it in your pocket)
Just like those good ol’ fashioned greased pig mudpits you see at the county fair. But here at the LOST Theme park, we have genetically programmed each specially selected boar to have a personal vendetta against YOU. But don’t forget, you must catch it before it takes your tarp to go camping.
2. Room 23 Skidoo
You’ll thrill at the brain bending twists and turns as you are strapped to a chair, fitted for an IV and repeatedly “loop da looping” your way through a series of mind altering 3D images like ” Think About Your Life” , “Everything Changes” and ” Buy ‘The Game Plan’, starring The Rock”.
3. Turbine Country
Oh, you know how outta hand things get when there’s a turbine around! Take turns “partying like rockstar” Charlie as you and your friends see who get the closest to the plummeting plane part without getting crush into a fine powder. And get “Trouped” in the Turbine Twista’ (Air Jordan will have nothin’ on you)!
4. The Waterfall of Wonders
Dive deep into our own spectacular LOST Water Park. You can just take a dip or play along in “Sawyer’s Scavenger Seahunt”. Have a blast as you and your “Freckles” search for treasures from the past like the mysterious Halliburton case (with a little surprise inside), “come in handy later” plane wreckage and bloated wallets off the remains of former fellow passengers (also bloated).
5. Danielle’s Booby Hatch Traps
That French chick was crazy….like a FOX! But not as wacky as her zany contraptions of survival. Experience the Baby Dolls of Death, the Swinging Spike Stump and the REAL Tunnel O’ Love, the “Getting Caught in a Net ” SkyTram. Ooh la la!
6. Nigerian Drug Plane Freefall
Hang on for the ride of your life (and possible demise) as you ascend off a magestic cliff to the jungle below. You’ll be hurdling at speeds no human could possibly endure without sustaining serious bodily injury as you hear the rockin’ soundtrack of the desperate cries of LOST fan favorites Bernard and Locke. It’s a Boone-ified good time!
Just a quick “Thank you” to Nicole’s LOST and LOST Blogspotters for adding It’s About Bunnies to their sites. Nicole (along with fellow contributors Renee, Katy P., Amanda and Alan) has a wonderful blog with tons of links and great insights into the show. And I stumbled upon the LOST Blogspotters page checking my stats (thanks “Referers” !) It is a very thorough listing of LOST related sites.
I wanted to add a custom header and my old page wouldn’t let me do it. So, for now, the page shall be a happy, vibrant green instead of perky pastel pink and blue. Just wanted a color scheme that fits “the mood” of the blog. I could have went the irony route and went all black and goth or sterile and industrial. But I thought “Nah!” It’s about bunnies, after all.
This is a song I wrote for our LATE VH1 has been turned hero, Charlie Hieronymus Pace. (And I freely admit, everytime I get to the “humble moth” part, I get a little “misty”)

ROCK STAR
Somebody named Naomi, at least that’s what she told me
Said all on Flight 815 were dead
She was lookin’ quite distressed with a tree branch through her chest
And big beads of sweat on her forehead
Well, the flashes keep comin’. They won’t stop comin’.
Des says it’s cool so I hit the jungle runnin’
Doesn’t make sense not to go with Jin and Hurley and Des to go campin’
So much to do, so much to see.
Worth the trip watchin’ Jin scare Hurley
First lightnin’ then an undertow
Now almost shot with an arrow
Hey now, I’m a big star and my name’s Charlie Pace
Hey now, I’m a rock star. I’m in Drive Shaft, play bass
Our first single went gold
“You All Everybody” really sold
It’s a cool place helpin’ Aaron and Claire
But I’d have to die to get um’ outta here
That 16 year loop message fixture
Keeps us from gettin’ a satellite picture
The Others approach, time’s gettin’ pretty slim
To stop the block, I’ll do a suicide swim
I did set fire to the camp
So not much concerned if I get a little damp
Hey now, I’m a big star and my name’s Charlie Pace
Hey now, I’m a rock star. I’m in Drive Shaft, play bass
Our first single went gold
“You All Everybody” really sold
( “Guys, where are we” 4x’s)
Hey now, I’m a big star and my name’s Charlie Pace
Hey now, I’m a rock star. I’m in Drive Shaft, play bass
Our first single went gold
“You All Everybody” …
Somebody once asked if my inner change would last
Even though there was some stash in this place
I said “Yep!” What a concept
From a junkie and a little inept
To a family man is quite strange
Well, it started with a mother who wanted peanut butter
Ends makin’ friends with Des, my brutha!
Didn’t make sense tryin’ to run from fate
In my case, swim out, before it’s too late
Good thing I had my Sharpie
Gave a message to Des from Penny
Sometimes you just never know
The humble moth is a hero! (Hey, Hey Now!)
Hey now, I’m a big star and my name’s Charlie Pace
Hey now, I’m a rock star. I’m in Drive Shaft, play bass
Our first single went gold
“You All Everybody” really sold
Remember Hugo, “Stay Gold.”
“You All Everybody” really sold.
Rock Star
(Parody of the song “Allstar” by Smashmouth {Interscope, 1999} New lyrics by Wendy Lincoln, 2007)
I am still in the midst of finale pondering but ….I …must…blog! So here’s little something I wrote on one of the forums (GSPN).
“Faith” posed the question “What have I learned from LOST”. (It could be factual or not)
Here was my response.
I learned that…
Bamboo shoots under your fingernails will clear up your sinuses.
Australians have an aversion to peanut butter.
You can’t catch a fish with a credit card.
You can successfully commit suicide by jumping off a second story balcony but you can also survive an eight story fall, if you are pushed.
If you beat on a dead person’s chest really hard 23 times, they will come back to life.
You can break a man’s neck , in a seated position, using only your ankles.
When time traveling, always carry a little black retractable iron rod ( just in case).
Crackers are good for at least 15 years.
You need to utilize 5 banks to take over large corperations.
Singing “I Feel Good” to a baby will not stop them from crying but reading car magazines to them, in a soothing Southern drawl, will.
When traveling by air, make sure to ask for your own copy of the flight manifest.
One good elbow jab to the jaw will knock out anyone.
A fake beard will make you scarier.
You can recall any geographical location if you can spot your favorite leaf.
Big “Thank you” to Bonnie Covel at About.com : LOST. She featured It’s About Bunnies on her front page on June 5th and wrote a “spot on” decription of my blog as well as putting a link on the About site. Bonnie is a wonderful writer/blogger/reviewer/interviewer/quizmaster of all things LOST. Her site is fantastic.
Another big “Thank you” to Jay and Jack from , of course, The LOST Podcast with Jay and Jack for the kind words and an invite to post a link to my blog on their forum. They are just…well…Jay and Jack! I love their podcast and they never fail to crack me up about something. Continued LOST podcasting success, guys!
I was going to post something about the finale sooner but I decided to wait a little longer. I would like to start putting up “icons” of sorts with my “thoughts”. The lovely ( and yet strikingly manly) individual who supplied my “It’s About Bunnies” artwork is in the process of designing character art for the blog. (Thanks Scott ) I will be putting up a sample very soon. In tribute to this blog’s namesake, it shall be….Sawyer. You’ll see what it mean….
Happy LOST Thought of the Day: Time Traveling Bunnies
Thanks to Wayne Henderson of Wayne’s Take on LOST for the mention and link to my site. He played the mp3 of my “Fathers Day LOST Olympiad” on his June 1st show. (Wayne can also be found on the LOST Podcasting Network )
He has a very good LOST podcast (along with a fantastic voice) . If you like his “take on LOST” , let him know on iTunes , phone or email (found at his site). He is also going to be podcasting about the new J.J. Abram’s incarnation, “Fringe”. Looking forward to it, Wayne.
I will be writing about the finale very soon. I need to do a rewatch because there was so much to absorb. There was a frozen donkey wheel, Sayid’s killer heels, sweet kisses and near misses. And let’s not forget all those time travelin’ bunnies. And Ben’s got a little bunny passport for all of them (except for maybe the one that got toasted). Why? Cuz’ he ALWAYS has a plan.
. But for some reason, Season 4’s has been hard to wrap my little gray matter around. But I must blog on! So, I shall try to be slightly “poetic” and touch on some of the highlights and insights.
