It's been my experience that in real life? Most people don't get involved.

In fact my teacher called me a cultural atavism because I said I would run towards someone calling for help, rather than call the authorities or let security on campus deal with it.

I replied I'd run and assess the situation, first, and maybe yell for somoneone else to call it in.

I'm a throwback, that way.

Even in this group of castaways that have been together for a while, 30 to 60 seconds is not at all too much time for people to stand around trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

"Is that Jun trying to kill Michael??? Holy crap, it is Jun trying to kill Michael. Somebody should do something. No really, somebody should do something. Jun's really trying to kill him. Yeah, he's trying to drown him. Maybe *I* should do something. I think I'll do something. Oh thank God. Here comes Sayid and Sawyer. I don't have to do anything."

"Look at that poor child, crying for somebody to save his father's life. I hope somebody (else) saves his father's life soon..."

On the other hand, Michael didn't seem to look too scarred up after that beating.

He was limping pretty badly. But was he doing that before the attack?

I think the limp is from the boar attack, not Jin.

Yeah, that was from the boar piglet the day or two before.

Right, boar.

Boy, poor Michael can't catch a break.

Is it just me, or do little scratches take an inordinately long time to heal on The Island?

Is a week an inordinately long time?

It's not just you. Kate's scar on her cheek has looked the same for the past 6 episodes. (I was actually wondering about that on Wednesday)
