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....

Heh. AmyLiz, get out of my brain!

SailAweigh, I love the Loki-speculation. Loki is also the guy who carried out Odin's dirty work, so that the All-Father's hands could stay metaphorically clean....

I must sit on my hands for this question. I am such a spoiler slut that I can't even try to pretend to speculate.

The conversation between Kate and Sayid was interesting. Kate just thinks they are lucky to have survived the crash and Sayid's like "No one is that lucky. The tail section broke off and we cartwheeled through the jungle with barely a scratch." Sayid is starting to wonder about the reality of the island. It could be interesting if the characters talked about that beyond the "I've seen into the eye of the island" stuff from Locke (becuase he doesn't care, he just accepts).

I would have preferred it if Charlie was the only one who could see the ending Mothra.

Me too. Aside from the anviliciousness of the moth, I liked this episode. Catholic schoolboy Charlie! Driveshaft in concert! Michael calling Hurley on his racism to Sun & Jin!

Agree that Jack has zero sexual tension with anyone we've seen on the island. That's the ONLY reason I could stand Kate crushing all over him in the most watch-from-the-hall manner since Wes & Fred pre-Connor reset.

whitefonted for S5 Angel

Yes! And Locke looked into the "eye" of the island. Hee. Odin One-eye, gave up one eye to acquire wisdom. I thought it was interesting that Locke had a scratch over one eye after the wreck. Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, no wonder the "beast" didn't eat Locke when they met in the jungle.

Am I the only one that noticed that Charlie had a Driveshaft ring in the flashbacks? I turned to my friend who was watchign with me and said, "Liam is totally his Joe Dick." (Even if they claimed to be brothers.)

Totally skipped over everybody else's WnP to start my own WnP now. Will go back and read later.

LOVED Sawyer "moving in."

Oooh! Catholic!Smackhead!Charlie!

Oh shit. Using Strungout!Charlie for bait? Not cool.
