DO you think the writers sit around and say.. "this week.. let's throw a horse in there to F with people's minds."
*Secret transcripts of the
Lost writers meeting in a bunker located somewhere in SW Europe*
Writer 1: "Well, we need to think of something to screw with the viewers this week. Any thoughts?"
Writer 2: "What's the episode about, again?"
Writer 1: "Kate's past, remember? Stop ogling Evangeline at that celebrity porn site and pay attention."
Writer 3: "How about we throw in something where she whacks her step-dad? Gotta be something unexpected. Maybe she beats him over the head with that toy airplane."
Writer 4: "Too messy. How about she blows him up?"
Writer 1: "Nice. Let's use that. But really, that's not so big. We need more."
Writer 2: "Let's put her in a tight t-shirt to show off her -"
Writer 3: "Jeezus Alan. Oh, wait. Hey, that's a good idea."
Writer 4: "Okay, her step-dad somehow comes back to life."
Writer 1: "Good, good. But not like a zombie, right? I don't like dead people walking around. Especially since he just got blown up."
Writer 4: "Right. He comes back as a beaver. Runs in front of the cop car bringing her in, causing it to swerve and hit a tree. She escapes."
Writer 2: "Heh heh. You said 'beaver'!"
Writer 3: "A beaver is too small. Shut up Alan. How about a horse?"
Writer 4: "A horse? Yeah, a horse is good. No one will expect that."
Writer 1: "Okay, we've got it. He comes back as a horse and saves her from the cop. Then, get this,
it shows up on the island! Huh? You like?"
Writer 3: "Sweet. Totally unexpected."
Writer 4: "I like it. And Kate recognizes it. Someone else has to see it to, though."
Writer 1: "Will she ride bareback?"
