Lost Hiatus Fantasy League: Week 3 Update

Introduction
Well, hopefully you haven't been too confused by me labeling these updates as Week 1, Week 2, etc., since I only post Hiatus League updates every 2 weeks. But in case you were wondering for a whole week when the next update was coming, here it is!

We watched the episode "Special," which wasn't nearly as daunting to score. If you watched along with us and tried to keep score yourself, check below and see how you did. Otherwise sit back and enjoy another one of my mediocre video updates! :-P

If you elect to skip the video, be sure to read through each section below to learn about the important points rulings we made during this episode. Also, pay special attention to a very significant rule change that has had an impact on the scores for not only this week, but for the first two weeks of the Hiatus League.

"Special" (in 500 words or less)

Lions and tiger and bears- oh my! Well, okay, all we’ve got are bears this week, but they are of the polar variety!

We start off with Michael looking for Walt. He finds him throwing knives at trees with Locke and Boone. Needless to say, the recently-instated father isn’t so pleased with his son being encouraged to play with knives, or maybe he’s a closet environmentalist and is mad that they’re stabbing trees. Either way, Michael freaks out, yells at Walt and threatens Locke.

Turns out that Michael just doesn’t know how to communicate with his son and Walt certainly isn’t helping any by being a moody pre-teen kid who doesn’t like his current parental arrangement. Mike decides that nothing perks a kid up like trying to save him from a life of Island creepiness- Michael wants to build a raft. Jack, Sayid and Shannon may want off the Island, but they aren’t quite that desperate yet, as they nonchalantly shoot down Michael’s request for help down in favor trying to pinpoint an obscure location highlighted on one of the French chick’s maps.

Michael decides to go it alone, but with Walt’s help. Junior feels like he’s being punished and ends up sneaking away to chill with Jungle John. This doesn’t go over well with Papa Bear, who threatens to bust our some REDRUM on John’s butt. He orders Walt to comply, which doesn’t work, because the kid goes and gets himself attacked by a polar bear in the middle of the jungle.

Mike and Locke come just in the knick of time and pull Walt to safety. Papa Bear gets all stabby with the polar bear while Walt cries like a kid ought to after being attacked by a hulking beast. The day being saved, Walt and Michael have finally connected. Mike also feels less stabby towards Locke now too. Later that night they bond over the cards that Michael sent to Walt every year, which Walt never saw because his mother was a jerk.

The B-plot to the episode involves beach-warmer favorite, Charlie, and his efforts to track down Claire’s diary. He discovers an entry where Claire says she dreamt about a black rock that she can’t escape from. This titillating bit of info would later go directly to jail, not pass GO, not collect $200, and ultimately never be mentioned again on the show. What a tease, that diary! Claire also turns up in the jungle in the middle of the night, looking freaked out as ever.

The flashbacks show the rocky relationship between Michael and his girlfriend Susan. Michael’s a bum (read: artist) and Susan is a jerk who spirits Walt away to Europe and tries to keep Michael from ever being a part of their son’s life. The joke is on her though, as she dies suddenly and her new husband decided that parenting just isn’t en vogue this year and dumps the kid off with Michael.
