Maybe Sawyer is the pre-existing Island dweller, thus his scavenging ways.

Have we ever seen him in flashbacks?

How long after Claire gives birth before she and Charlie get physical?

They're only doing a day or so per episode so far, so it'll probably be season 3 by the time they get to that point.

I missed some of the early on the plane flashbacks, so I don't know. I don't remember anyone other than Sun, Jin, Kate, dead guy, Charlie and Jack.

I meant to say that was cool, Sail, and forgot. My brain is a sieve.

eta: 6 weeks after a normal vaginal delivery, Daniel.

He was afraid all along that Liam was right and he wasn't important. So, he did it, in, I think, a "nanny-nanny-boo-boo" way. This is what you want? I'll give you what you want.

Charlie seemed to hate himself at the time for doing it though. If it were as you say, I think he would be more resigned and less heartbroken.

Oh, by the way: this week's episode started not with an eye shot but a hand shot (Charlie strumming the guitar)...but within seconds, the camera panned to the eye shot. Two eyes! In the throes of withdrawal!

I think the point of doing that is to show the audience that this series is focused more about the person first and the group second. Getting off the island (action) is secondary to the individual characters, b/c this really is about the characters and their development.

Totally skipped, because I spent all day at a friend's father's funeral and drove two hours each way to attend it, and I'm exhausted.

One question: Could it be possible that whoever hit Sayid was already on the island? In other words, not one of our plane crash people. Sorry if this has been addressed already.

Also, Kate gave Jack a running tackle hug! Hee.

The anvilicious moths at the end were a bit much, but the look in Charlie's eyes totally made up for it. He and the guy who played Liam were great. Definitely shades of Oasis there, though. And Charlie's confession scene was lovely. And porny, too!

Also, why no Claire again? Maybe she hit Sayid! Okay, probably not, but still, that would be a twist.

I would have preferred it if Charlie was the only one who could see the ending Mothra. Jack never saw it in the cave. Charlie was thinking about the whole cocoon thing and he was expected to have hallucinations, but the island gave him what he wanted, a way in, and a struggle out, and the moth as a metaphor. I wonder if his songs are that simplistic?

Other possibilities for the Sayid-whacker:

• Mad Frenchwoman
• Yeti
• Small tool-using dinosaur
• Tiger Woods on a very bad day

Speculation about Sawyer -- he, like Sayid, will turn out to be some kind of real ex-military man. He's got all the real skills that Locke only dreamed about.

Locke... I do seriously wonder if this is the "real" Locke. Like maybe the invisible man-eating cowdinosaur substituted its own shape-changing agent for him....

Also, why no Claire again? Maybe she hit Sayid! Okay, probably not, but still, that would be a twist.

Heh. AmyLiz, get out of my brain!
