The Wizard of LOST

Not my favorite episode.

Coincidentally enough my kids saw 'The Wizard of Oz' for the first time tonight before I watched LOST. At ten and twelve I think it's a shame this was the first time they had seen it, but at least the countless pop culture references over the years made them *think* they had seen it. I didn't know how to answer, though, when my older son said "is everyone in this movie gay?"

Some LOST observations:

• That did look like a picture of a dog in Jacob's cabin. I'll have to check out the TiVo later.
• Remind me who Annie grows up to be? Ben's first wife?
• I don't appreciate when shows or movies think they have to overtly remind us of symbolism (Ben mentions "The Wizard of Oz" at least twice).
• Is Jacob simply this Oz character who everyone believes in but nobody has seen? Is Ben the man behind the curtain?
• Richard doesn't age. We're going to see much more from him.
• This series has a larger wig budget than even "Mr. Show". Kind of like the orange smoke budget for "Wizard of Oz".
• Do you prefer the period inside or outside the end quote?
• Why did the native(s) on the island speak perfect American English?
• Can't a falling house from Kansas fall on Jack, please???
