Episode Report Card Dan Kawa: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT That Girl From Pyongyang (Unfurled My Long Wang)
By Dan Kawa | Season 1 | Episode 6 | Aired on 10.26.2004
After the commercial, Charlie sits in the darkened Grotto, playing his guitar. That's a lick from the rare Driveshaft fan-club-only B-side, "That Girl From Pyongyang (Unfurled My Long Wang)." Locke greets the new tenants: Jack, Sun, Jin, two Red Shirts, and Hurley, who complains of the long hike. I'm surprised that Claire and Rose didn't come along with Jack.Hurley wastes more batteries on an end-of-episode montage, though in this case his music selection can't be faulted: a little of the ol' Red-Headed Stranger, Willie Nelson. Walt asks Mercutio what his birthday is. Aw. I'll be mad if they screw this relationship up with overenthusiastic back-plotting. Sayid watches the fire, sitting next to Kate. We don't see Shannon and Boone, God's Friggin' Gift to Humanity, but I think they stayed on the beach. It's a shame; now that Shannon's finished her crossword puzzle, perhaps she'd like to solve a Jumble in the jungle. Back at the Grotto, Sun shakes the sand out of a sundress. Charlie strums his guitar. As Willie sings, "But look around you, and take a good look, just between you and me," a hoary shot of sad 'n' pensive Jack fades into a hoary shot of sad 'n' pensive Kate. Willie finishes: "Are you sure that this is where you want to be?"
Next week on Lost: I'm on vacation in London, so Daniel will be here for your recapping pleasure. Charlie wants his drugs, Sayid gets whacked on the noggin, and a cave-in buries Jack. "Is he alive?" Kate demands to know. "Is he alive?" She's displaying the journalistic doggedness of a young Bryant Gumbel! In -- well, you know.
