Lost Hiatus Fantasy League: Week 2

Introduction
Here we are once again, taking a look at an episode of Lost, scoring it, and marveling at my video production mediocrity :-P

After the success of last week's post, DarkUFO and I hope to continue to improve and refine our scoring system, as well as shorten the video updates to a concise and friendly run-time.

This week we watched episode 2x07, "The Other 48 Days." Featuring only 7 of our League characters, this episode presented us with a plethora of scoring questions to resolve before bringing you this update. Below is a special section that we hope will answer most of the scoring questions you might have had while watching. If, after reading through our explanations, you still have a question, write it in the comments section or email us at LFLquestions@gmail.com

Remember, this is a spoiler-free zone, so email any spoiler related questions directly to DarkUFO.

The Other 48 Days (In 500 words or less)

Remember how Oceanic Flight 815 was torn apart as it crashed? Well, boy howdy! Some of those tail section folk done survived that there crash! Whodathunkit?

This episode focuses on the trials and tribulations of these Tailies, as they came to be called. Their exploits, while harrowing and freaky for sure, certainly would not have made for good television. Thusly, we say "good call" to the producers for making Season 1 all about the more "civilized" camp of Lostaways.

Murder, mishaps and mayhem come standard in "The Other 48 Days." Ana-Lucia comes to underwater and swims ashore amidst a swarm of screaming, injured folk- it's a bloody screaming mess. Literally.

The first night, a few of the natives decide to kidnap a few of the survivors. Creepy in and of itself, but we already knew there were 'Others' on this Island, so it wasn't quite as creeptastic as it could have been. These Others are thwarted, however, when Mr. Eko introduces two of them to the finer points of Mr. Rock. As if the bloody bodies of crash victims wasn't enough, the Tailies now have the bloody bodies of some freakish hobos on their hands.

Ana-Lucia, being the smart cookie that she is figures out that these people were here before them and that the beach might not be safe. This sets off some tension between Ana and a guy named Nathan, who, in a clever feat of misdirection, is made out to make us think that he is one of these Others.

Turns out Nathan is just a crabby Canadian guy who lacks quality conflict resolution skills. After getting attacked again and moving camp, Ana-Lucia does her best Charles Bronson impersonation and digs and digs and digs until she is satisfied with her new found playpen (read: tiger pit). Ana chucks Nathan inside and grills him about the people who were taken. Goodwin, who's really the Other, kills Nathan before Ana can realize she has the wrong guy, but it turns out to be too little too late.

After discovering a new DHARMA station, The Arrow (a decidedly dumpy little place that even Locke would struggle to call home), Ana and Goodwin climb up the mountain to test the radio. The hills aren't exactly alive with the sound of music though, as Ana is one smart cookie and makes Goodwin come clean about being an Other. She then skewers him with her walking stick and heads back to the Arrow.

Later on, we find out that Bernard was talking to Boone, Jin floated ashore, and Eko is one bad mother- shut your mouth! He lays some hurt on our Lostaways with his Jesus stick, but they all make nice and head over to the Lostie camp for some s'mores. That and Sawyer is dying from an infected wound. Ick.

The episode ends where we left off the episode before- Ana killing Shannon by accident and Sayid looking like he's about to go medieval on her butt.
