Lost was amusing last night though not overly revelatory. As viewers knew from last week, there is a symbol on various objects throughout the underground complex. Here it is:
We saw it only a couple times last week but it was plastered on everything this week. One of the characters is locked in the complex's larder and every label on every jar has this logo on it. It seems to be a combination of an old Korean flag and an I Ching diagram hoolie with a swan in the middle as well as the word "DHARMA". We may recall from last season's finale that 4 of the castaways set sail on a raft. They encountered some salty dogs on what appeared to be a small fishing boat. They took Walt, the young son of one of the characters, shot another of the characters, and then the raft exploded. So, this week we see two of the survivors floating adrift on the remains of the raft. Sawyer, who was shot, is bleeding from his arm and this attracts the attention of a shark. In one scene, we see the shark from underwater:
And behold the same logo! I get the impression that the shark is like Rover from The Prisoner. We'll see how it goes from here.
There's a new H.P. Lovecraft-inspired comic available and available online as well. It's by the folks at Lovecraft Country and is called Return to Arkham. I haven't started reading it yet but it will be, no doubt, eldritch and terrifying.
While I missed the rematch of George Galloway vs. Christopher Hitchens last week on Real Time with Bill Maher, he will be having Salman Rushdie on tomorrow night. It should be interesting to hear him talk. Ben Affleck is also slated to appear but who cares. Rounding out the trio of panelists is Andrew Sullivan, the gay man who supports the party of gay bashers who would condemn him to hell. Watch it for Rushdie.
