This week: "Dead is Dead" (the phrase, not the episode) might be the biggest sack of shit they've ever tried to feed us.

First of all, I'm not buying any misdirection on whether or not Sayid was once a good person, even if the kids from Slumdog Milli...
This week: Say "Namaste" to the returning castaways as Kate puts the "drama" in "Dharma"...or something. Kate's stupid, that's my point. Christian Shephard: I'm sorry, but you have a bit of a journey ahead of you. LOST, Season 5, Episode 9 Namaste I.

What do you get when you combine Houston hipster hangouts, wannabe MILFs, barstools, and low-rise jeans? Some of the best crack in the land.
