The identity of the four toed statue somewhat is the instigator of my cause for concern. The producers and the ABC website have all publicly said that the statue is supposed to be the Egyptian Female Hippo Goddess "Taweret" But the art department, as far as I can tell, has delivered an Egyptian Male Crocodile God "Sobek." And then, after years of wondering what the statue is... it seems that this will probably be another casualty of not having enough time left in season 6 to do much with it.
It reminds me a little of In-n-out. Several years back, I had a friend from California whose wardrobe was primarily 6 or 7 In-n-out t-shirts. He probably wore pants as well, but that's neither here-nor-there. When asked about In-n-out, the conversation went like this:
HIM: Have you ever had In-n-nout?
ME: No.
HIM: Well, let me tell you, it is the best burger place on Earth. It is SOOOOO great! You'll never be able to have a burger anywhere else after you have one! You have not really lived until you have one.
ME: Sounds great!
Years later: I had an In-n-out burger. It was decent. But I didn't buy any t-shirts. Then I run into this friend.
ME: So, I had an In-n-out burger.
HIM: And how was it???? Did it blow your mind? Did you almost die right on the spot from how good it was? Did you divorce your wife so you could marry it?
ME: No. I thought it was all right, but I didn't really think it was much different from most of the other burgers I've had. I think I like those $.59 hamburgers that come in kids meals about the same.
HIM: Well... everyone has personal tastes....
Everyone DOES have personal tastes! This is true. But that didn't matter when I hadn't ever had one before. He told me it would blow my mind etc., not that I might or mightn't like it based on my personal taste but that due to his personal taste, he quite enjoyed them!
So... back to the statue... I think it was like, "Can you solve the mystery of the statue? It's a clue to the mystery of the whole island!"
ME: So it's Taweret. Or maybe Sobek.
THEM: Yeah, it's not really that big a deal. It's just Jersey.
