We've got Sayid, Sawyer, Michael and Walt, Shannon and Boone, and Hurley left of the major players, right?

Don't forget about Claire!

Still sitting in the "liked the episode" corner. I didn't think it weak, cliched or heavy-handed. If it was cliched, I thought it was good use of the requisite cliches, in such a way as to save it from after-school-special land.

I don't think it counts as heavy handed because they weren't trying to slap us over the head with a lesson, a la after school specials, or the Willow magic=drugs arc from Season 6.

None of it was for out benefit, it was just a thing that Charlie had to go through.

But that may just be me.

Sweeet! Jess shout out!

I enjoyed it too Sean. And really just what the doctor ordered last night.

2 snaps up and loved it Jess. (yes, the boys and I are watching In Living Color DVDs, what of it?)

Also, didn't Liam's little girl look to be about four years old? So maybe Driveshaft broke up four years ago?

I did not find last night's ep as inventive or surprising as several previous eps, but, in truth, I already knew more about Charlie going into it than I did about Kate, Jin & Sun, Jack, or Locke. So, I'm unsurprised that it was unsurprising, if that makes sense.

I adored DM's portrayal. Dear lord, he has the most incredibly expressive face. Love.

I enjoyed Sawyer's "I'm movin' in" bit. Hurley made me laugh out loud at one point ... but I can't remember. Oh, yeah, when Jack asked him to come back and keep hauling bags, his delivery of, "Oh, could I?" made me laugh.

I don't think Locke whacked Sayid. Seems the obvious choice to me, because they're setting him up to be mysterious, so I'm not going to bite on that one. Intriguing the suggestion that it could've been someone who was already on the island. Veddy interestink. I hadn't thought of that.

Well, Liam mentioned that the night his daughter was born, he and Charlie were stumbling around the streets of [memfault city] looking for a dealer. I'm thinking he quit (both drugs and the band) shortly afterwards--at least I hope so.

I rolled my eyes at every single thing that Hurley said SO HARD I thought my eyeballs were going to leave the sockets entirely.

Also, Hurley is in love with Jack. You heard it here first. But maybe not in a gay way.

If it was Locke, how did he know what Sayid was doing and where he was? Strengthens the case for him under the thrall of the magic island.

Same question would apply to anybody else, other than Kate (alibi) and Sawyer (apparent alibi). Sawyer could have done it if he was able to jury-rig some kind of timer to fire off his rocket at the appointed time. We'll call that the "Sawyer is MacGuyver" hypothesis.

Of course, somebody could have just been spying on the triangulators. Including somebody from outside the known survivors.

Just thinking out loud.
