Sadly predictable and inspirational, but they've kinda earned it too.

Agreed wholeheartedly. The whole asking 3 times was predictable and the moth was a given. Yet I have no issue when the character story was so well done.

Liam! Hee. How fun was that?

I got nothin' else. It was just nice to clear my mind of stuff for an hour.

Next week looks way yum.

I'm just having trouble placing Scott and Steve...

They were on the beach when Charlie got there. Boone said to the guy next to him "Scott..." "No, I'm Steve." And another guy raised his hand "I'm Scott."

The moth and asking-three-times thing would have fallen so, so flat if it weren't for DM and TOQ's ability to sell the story. I also thought the guy playing Liam did a fabulous job.

Of course, the preview kinda takes the suspense out of Sayid's fate.

Like they would risk my wrath by killing off Sayid.

I'm hopeful that there will be more complexity than just a competition for Kate. (Huh, never thought I would use the word hopeful again)

Got home from work early and managed to doze off and miss the first 15 minutes. I woke up just in time to hear "I'm a rock god!" Did I miss anything major before that?

I'm wondering if we're going to get some of Sawyer's backstory. I'm dying to know what makes him such a jackhole.

So, who whacked Sayid on his pretty noggin?

Prime candidates would be Locke and Sawyer, but we saw Kate's designated flash go off, which means Sawyer actually manned the post and did what was required. I don't think he could have sprinted fast enough to where Sayid was to knock him out.

Locke has the motive (not wanting to get off the island) and opportunity (was alone in the jungle post-boar kill.) Although, did anyone tell Locke about Sayid's plan?

Or it could be someone on the island who was *not* on the flight.

We don't know where Sawyer was, or even if he set off his flare (though I'm not sure who else would have). We only saw the flare go up.

Was I the only one who thought, "Mmmm. Heroin-smoked barbecue"?

Charlie says "I'm a bloody rock god" and the cave collapses? I'm thinking the wish fullfillment thing may be the way it's going to go somehow.

Ha!

I thought it was Locke, too, but then he showed up at the caves. I don't know where Sayid was in relation to the caves. I also thought Sawyer, but his flare went up. So...maybe he has superspeed.

Definite Oasis reference.

This episode was kind of meh, really. Dom did a great job, and I liked the advancement of his drug storyline, but I am so over KaTeNJacK4evAH.

And how about that mothaphor?

We don't know where Sawyer was, or even if he set off his flare (though I'm not sure who else would have). We only saw the flare go up.

I was thinking this, too. But who else would have shown up to do it? They wouldn't know exactly where Sawyer was, so I'm thinking it had to be Sawyer who set it off. Darn.
