Amy Deciphers “Hearts and Minds”
Wow. That’s all there is to be said about this episode — WOW! Before we get to the wow, let’s talk about Boone. I have to confess, Boone is one of the more puzzling characters to me. He never has his own flashes. He shifts from well meaning screw-up to “I run a business!” to [...]
Amy Deciphers “Confidence Man”
“All of the true things that I am about to tell you are shameless lies.” — Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle. [ALL PICTURES: CLICK FOR LARGER VIEW] First off, you should know Kurt Vonnegut NEVER gave that MIT commencement speech [“Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of 1997: Wear Sunscreen”] that floated all over the Internet. [...]
Happy August WRLBers! This month’s book is Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. It’s another relatively short one! The reading schedule will be easy this time. We have a little over 200 pages (by my copy) spread through 10 chapters. That gives us roughly 2 and a half chapters a week. I don’t know why I’m [...]
Pre-Hash – Raised by Another
Or is it: raised by an other? White space always confuses me. And let’s face it LOST has a lot of white spaces in it. In the visual arts, white space, or negative space is important in the aesthetics of the composition. The negative spaces balance between the positive, or non-white spaces and make up [...]

She’ll be passing around the conch shell during the discussion as we talk about the book and how it relates to our favorite show LOST. I’ve slaved over a [...]
Amy Deciphers “Walkabout”
UNLOCKING LOCKE? BETTER GET A BIGGER KEY. NOTE: Before “Walkabout,” John Locke is simply Mr. Locke. We don’t know his first name is John until Kate says it out loud (after Michael gets knicked by the boar). Raise yer hand if you know what the CONSTANTS are for John/Locke. That’s right! John’s constant is the [...]
Amy Deciphers LOST: “House of the Rising Sun”
LET’S DECIPHER EPISODES, SHALL WE? [YES! LET'S!] Using what we’ve learned so far, let’s go BAAAAACK and review the episodes we’ve seen prior to “The Moth.” However, let’s not forget to use what we’ve learned about our losties from Season 6. Whoever’s in the CHURCH, is the “real” lostie, yes? That is, after each of them has [...]
