'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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!

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....

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Could it be possible that whoever hit Sayid was already on the island? In other words, not one of our plane crash people.

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).

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

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.

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.

Michael calling Hurley on his racism to Sun & Jin!

Oh yes, that was great too. Although I don't know that I'd be so quick to call it racism. Ignorance, yes, but "racism" to me implies at least a modicum of prejudice or negative attitude, which I didn't see from Hurley. I mean, he assumed they were Chinese. I assumed that they were Korean. I'm not seeing inherent racism in either assumption, it's just that mine was based on more knowledge. And he doesn't know their names, since they haven't introduced themselves to anyone else (except for Sun and Michael--though I'm not sure they exchanged names either, now that I think about it), so he refers to them by their most obvious (to him) distinguishing characteristic. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that Michael set him straight, since it was making me a little more uncomfortable each time he referred to them as "the Chinese people" and nobody corrected him. But I'm not ready to ascribe racism to Hurley just yet.

Nope! A little "DS," wasn't it?
