The Losties 'R Good Enuff For Me

Tuesday's episode (5/18/10) sealed the deal for me. Lost is now The Goonies.

The creators have obviously set up a situation where Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hurley (Mikey, Andy, Mouth, Chunk) must battle the ferocious Fratellis and their smoke monster (Sloth).

With Miles as Data, they will use Pinchers of Peril, Slick Shoes and other homemade tricks to defeat Smokey. But in the end, Hurley will offer Smokey an Apollo Bar and they will become best friends, and Smokey will end up saving them from a deteriorating Black Rock they are sailing off the island in (because the sub and plane both exploded).

I'm sure any questions about Lost can now be answered by reviewing the Goonies plot. What is the Black Rock? A treasure ship captained by Alvar Hanso (One-Eyed Willy). How do you escape the island? The wishing well (have a football player bring you up in a bucket or turn the frozen donkey wheel).

In the Sunday finale, I'm confident the Losties will sail the Black Rock off the island and save the Goondocks.
