Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Sawyer is the trickster?

Sawyer is a Trickster. I think we will find one of each archetype in each camp.

Although, with Sawyer, I am wondering if he may be the Will Scarlet (Robin Hood) of his group.

Will Scarlet (Robin Hood)

Refresh my memory, Gus. What made WS notable?

Will Scarlett was the likable rogue who sang well and had charm, but had less moral authority than Robin.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Will Scarlett was the likable rogue who sang well and had charm, but had less moral authority than Robin.

Weren't Will Scarlet and Robin Hood cousins?

Aye. And Will made a play for Marion, which was unsuccessful, just barely, because Marion thought Robin's moral authority was ... more better.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Brothers in some versions. As for the singing part, are you sure you're not thinking of Alan a Dale?

DX has a grasp of these things. Will is shown to have less singing skill than Alan, yet more than Robin.

From the Tennyson version:

Thou blowest hot and cold.

Anyone else getting a Kate vibe here?

on edit: I am about to get fucked by the time zone thing, right?

t counts on fingers

Wait. No. Board time has not had time to get uselessly drunk, yet. Unless happy hour starts around noon, boardtime.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

It's almost midnight my time, Gus. Sorry. I'm heading away to my nice snuggly bed. I have tricks and treats and actual chores to do tomorrow.

Sure, have a life. Don't let us expatriates spoil your fun.

Hee, hee ... I just watched TV on my computer. It was so fun.

I got the impression that The Marshall was a man scorned. Don't know what her crime was, but there was some personal stuff going on there, yeah? She seemed to ... I don't know whether care is the right word, but she seemed to feel responsibility toward him. (That is, I think crime happened, he was sent to find her or whatever, and then personal stuff ensued.)

Am finding the Kate and Sawyer knew each other theory interesting. I found Sawyer sympathetic post-shooting and generally hot, dudes, and Sayid tossing him the apple ... OMG, so true is their ... well, you know.

I was so sad that the farmer turned her in. For her, and for him. Though I was relieved that her crime had nothing to do with him. And he is so familiar; I feel like I've seen that actor in movies and such.

And a boy and his dog. Awwwwww. Couldn't read Locke's expression at the end. Inscrutable.

Last, I liked the closing song. I'm sort of neutral WRT musical montage closings, but the song itself, I liked.
