Okay, so tonight's episode is entitled Jughead, and personally I can't get the Archie Comics relationship out of my head! So then I started thinking what else Jughead could refer to.
Apparently, it is also the name of an early search engine (like yahoo or google).
As well, the "Kool-Aid Man" is known as Jughead in Canada. (I grew up there, and honestly, I don't ever remember that.)
It was also the name of a band with one album in 2002, (the tracks were Halfway Home to Elvis; C'Mon; Snow in Tahiti; Promise; Bullet Train; Waiting on the Son; Yesterday I Found Myself; Be Like You; Flowers; Shame on the Butterfly; and, Paging Willie Mays).
Jughead is the nickname of a nuclear bomb!
Additionally, it was the slang term for a mule in the 19th Century.
Lastly, it was the name of a song, widely thought to be the worst Prince ever recorded.
The episode is supposed to be Desmond-centric. I think we can rule out the kool-aid connection and probably the band. This leaves the bomb, a mule, the internet search engine and the Prince song.
Any guesses?

Can you even stand it?
Season 5 is about to start, and barring an actors' strike, snowstorms in Hawaii, or a freak accident in the offices at Bad Robot, we should get the entire season without any breaks. Will it live up to expectations? We only have to wait a little longer:

The Countdown has Started!
It has been a long wait, but finally the year and month have arrived and we are down to mere days before Season 5 of LOST begins. Let the theories fly and the discussion begin!

100 Days Out...
If we were on the island
While Jack was on the phone with the guy from the freighter, the previously-thought-dead Naomi wandered off. The rest of us headed back to the beach while Kate, Jack and Rousseau (with Ben in tow) went looking for Naomi.
But I nearly forgot the most exciting part! Hurley rescued the people at the beach! I guess that only two of the traps went off and Sayid, Jin and Bernard were taken captive by some of the others. Juliet and Sawyer doubled back to see if they could help, as did Hurley. Hurley saved the day! He ran that crazy old VW bus right over one of the Others and that gave Sayid the chance he needed to get the rest. Hooray for Hurley!
On the way back to the beach, we met up with everyone else. Funny how on this great big island, we all, every one of us, ended up in the same place - right near the wreckage of the cockpit. Jack wanted everyone to get to the beach to be rescued. Locke was still acting crazy saying that we needed to avoid the people on the freighter (if he could give us just ONE concrete reason WHY maybe I wouldn't think he was so crazy!). In the end, we split into two groups. One was going back to the barracks with Locke and the other was going to the beach with Jack.
The really sad news is that Charlie is dead. He drowned while making sure the rest of us would be rescued. We are all in shock.
Over the course of the next few days, a number of people "switched camps" (some several times). I don't have any idea WHY but I will tell you this, just HEARING Minkowski on the phone was enough to make me want to stay at the beach.
Actually, there are some people from the freighter among us now. Charlotte, a red-headed anthropologist who has a bit of an attitude and Daniel, who seems to be a very kind-hearted scientist - maybe a physicist of some kind. They keep to themselves and only seem to talk to Jack and a few others. That's fine, as long as their people show up, I am happy.
I think Christmas was a few days ago. No one seemed to care enough to talk about it - maybe because simple milestones like surviving the night are enough to celebrate.
The last few days have been very confusing - people coming and going from the beach. I thought I heard a helicopter fly overhead a couple of days ago and then Sayid came TO the island on a small motorboat! He was going to take people back to the freighter and then instead, took off into the jungle! Jin took a group of people out to the freighter and came back for more. I think I will be on the next boat. Oh I hope so!

New Promo
Just when we were finally starting to get LOST out of our system, ABC released a new promo. Enjoy:
It requires a lot of views to take everything in, so don't worry about seeing "too much" the first time around. But since it is released by ABC, I consider it to be spoiler-free.
There is another version, which includes the actors' voices. The promo is much better. Instead of having to sit through the inane Hallowe'en costume clip, just put your mouse over the center of the frame and then click on the white arrow which points to the right.
UPDATE (Edited 11/7/08): The promo below now has a different 30 second promo, followed by the inane Hallowe'en clip. The FF arrows are gone, as apparently is the "old" promo.

91 Days Out
If we were on the island...
We were almost to the radio tower, when Ben and Alex showed up! They were just standing there waiting for us. That guy is so creepy. He and Jack had a conversation, but I couldn't hear it properly. I think Ben said something about how we shouldn't call Naomi's people. Is he CRAZY? We want to get off the island!
Then Ben and Jack disappeared behind some rocks and a few minutes later, Jack brought bloody Ben back out and asked Rousseau to tie him up. It is then that Rousseau was finally reunited with her long lost daughter Alex! Not that they had time to enjoy the reunion.
We finally got to the radio tower and the green light on Naomi's satellite phone came on! She told Claire that her "rock star boyfriend" got us all rescued! Unfortunately, all the phone picked up was Rousseau's old distress call, so a few people went into the radio tower to turn off her signal. Just as Naomi was about to make a connection, a flying dagger pierced her back! Locke just killed her! (Actually, it turns out that though we thought she was dead, she was only wounded, but I am getting ahead of myself.)
Jack talked to someone on the freighter called Minkowski. They are coming to get us! Are we finally saved?

In Memoriam 09-22-2008
Let us all take a moment to reflect on the passing of the passengers and crew of Oceanic 815, who perished on this day four years ago.
As well as those we know survived the crash and died, or were killed, after the fact.
As well as those of whose fate we are unsure.
As well as those who were on the island by other means.
As well as those who survived but are, in varying degrees, realizing that their 815 story is not yet complete.
In short, let's all remember
LOST.

90 Days Out
If we were on the island...
Hurley, Desmond, Charlie and Jin came back from their camping adventure. They were all acting really odd and we finally found out why! A helicopter pilot called Naomi parachuted into the jungle! She was hurt in the crash, but says she was sent by Penny Widmore, Desmond's long lost love! We were so excited! She had a satellite phone but something jamming the signal, so Jack said we were all going to hike up to the radio tower to see if that would help.
Then Juliet told us that there was an underwater station, called the Looking Glass, where Ben was intentionally jamming the signal. Desmond and Charlie volunteered to go down and turn off the jamming device.
Juliet also told Jack that the Others were coming in a few days to kidnap the pregnant women! Rousseau brought dynamite from an old ship called The Black Rock and we were going to set up an ambush to blow up the others. But then Karl, an Other whom Sawyer knew from when he was held captive, came in a boat to warn us that the Others were coming that night! So while the rest of us were hiking up to the radio tower, Sayid, Jin and Bernard were going to stay behind to ambush the Others.
It was a long, long hike up to the tower. Some of the other 815'ers go trekking through the jungle all the time, so they were up for the challenge. I don't know how I kept up, it was tiring. When it got dark, we heard two explosions from the beach. But there were supposed to be THREE! What if it didn't work? What if something happened to Jin, Bernard and Sayid? Poor Sun. Poor Rose. I am so tired of being SCARED all the time!

85 Days Out
If we were on the island...
Hurley found a van! A beat up old volkswagon van! Filled with a skeleton and really old DHARMA beer. There are way too many weird things on this island.
So just when we were all feeling better about things, because Kate and Sawyer were back, they're gone again. They took Sayid and Rousseau with them to try to rescue Jack from the Others' encampment. Apparently, the Others have houses with running water and electricity over there. Man, what I would give for a hot shower and a blanket bigger than the Oceanic airplane blankets we've been putting up with.
Claire saw some migratory birds and had a great idea! Since the birds are tagged, someone must be studying them. She suggested we catch one and tie a message to its leg. With help from Sun, Jin and Charlie, they were able to do it. Of course, they just wrote on a normal piece of paper, and we're talking about water birds, so I am not sure how likely it will be that anyone will see the message.
Nikki and Paulo are dead. There was some big mystery surrounding their deaths since there wasn't any sign of injury. At the funeral, Sawyer sprinkled some diamonds on their bodies before they buried them. Okay, that was weird. I mean, wouldn't they be worth a LOT when we finally get off this island?
Kate, Sayid and Jack returned! This time Locke is missing. It seems he chose to go with Ben's group instead of returning to us. They brought one of the Others with them. Apparently, her name is Juliet and she is a fertility doctor (which I guess is good for Sun) and Jack says we can trust her. I am not so sure, yet. I mean she was one of the ones who had Sawyer and Kate trapped in cages!
I overheard Kate and Sayid talking. It seems that while they were looking for Jack, they found another station, where there was all kinds of communication equipment. Only Locke blew it up.
They also said something about a submarine and how Ben promised Jack and Juliet they could go home (Jack operated on Ben and saved his life I think). Only Locke blew that up, too.
(It is probably just as well Locke didn't return. I am pretty sure that a lot of people would have put him on the chopping block for messing up our chances of being rescued.)
But just when everyone thought we were all safe and together, Hurley, Desmond, Charlie and Jin went off on some mysterious "camping" trip. I don't know why these folks all go LOOKING for trouble!

75 Days Out
If we were on the island...
Remember how I said that Michael, Walt, Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Sun, Jin, Sayid, Eko, Locke and Desmond are all missing? That means a lot of people were gone, but Sayid, Sun and Jin returned. They haven't said much about what happened while they were gone, but they all seemed pretty shook up.
Then Hurley showed up. He said that Ben and the Others captured them and that it was all part of a plan that Michael was pulling off! He said that it was MICHAEL who killed Libby and Ana-Lucia and let Henry escape! Only his name isn't Henry! It's Ben. Benjamin Linus. I can't even believe it. So Michael made a deal with the Others... they let Walt and Michael go and gave them a boat, in exchange for bringing Kate, Jack, Sawyer and Hurley to them. Hurley said that they put bags over their heads and took Jack, Kate and Sawyer somewhere else, but told him to go back to his camp and warn everyone to stay away.
On the way back to our camp, Hurley found Desmond (he was naked!) and since the hatch blew up, Desmond has been having what he calls "flashes" where he can see flashes of the future!
Then Locke showed up, but for a while he couldn't talk. He made Charlie stand outside a tent and then took off into the jungle. Sayid, Desmond, Nikki and Paulo (two people who suddenly started trying to get into the inner circle - maybe they think because Jack and Kate are missing, they can take their places) went with Locke to look for Eko and find another hatch, with the hopes of communicating with the Others. Instead, they said they found Eko dead, but I overheard Locke say something about the "island" killing him. Maybe they mean the smoke monster!
Finally, Kate and Sawyer have returned. But they came without Jack! They said he is still alive, but haven't told us much about what happened to them, but I sure hope they do soon. We're all feeling worried!
