Flashes Before Your Eyes

I am a LOST fanatic. However, I am a relatively new lost fanatic; therefore, I am only to season 3. I just watched the episode below. What are the chances? The episode deals with deja vu, eternal return, rewriting history . . . Not to mention that Hugo finds Nabokov's Laughter in the Dark in Sawyer's stuff. Sawyer has the best taste in literature, aside from his obsession with overly sultry magazines.

And if you haven't already, I recommend becoming a Lost fanatic. BUT! you have to watch it sequentially from the very beginning. It is not permissible to view episodes at random as it is with other tv series. This being said, I still will post Episode 3.8 below for your viewing pleasure. For the sake of the class, my rule may be broken.

Like Dr. Sexson said, the island theme is modeled directly after Shakespeare's The Tempest. But also, a few episodes ago, I saw the resurrection scene reenacted. Mr. Echo (fitting name) rolls away a large stone from the entrance to a crashed plane to find his brother's dead body gone.

P.S. It is no accident that Desmond's girlfriend's name is Penelope.
