'Underneath'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
I had actually thought about sitting down to write out the scripts that were broadcast so I can look for clues. I don't have a website, so I wouldn't know where to post, though.
You might want to get in touch with the Buffista Named Shrift.
She might be interested in hosting the transcripts of episodes.

Oh crap. Sawyer is Young Sgt. Bilko!
Or an old Milo Minderbinder.
Well, yeah. He's the "scrounger" character in old war movies, the guy who makes the deals and the swaps and can get you anything you need. Like a quartermaster without the rules.
He's James Garner in The Great Escape!
Sawyer's gun stance when shooting the polar bear struck me as what someone would adopt from seeing lots of John Woo movies rather than actually being trained to fire guns. While that doesn't rule out a criminal past, I think in combination with being unaware of how to cause a fatal gunshot wound (and police see plenty of those even if they never cause one themselves) it precludes soldier or cop.
I wonder if www.driveshaftband.com is going to change their site very quickly to accomodate the info in this week's ep. If they do, I guess.

If he blackmails Sun for, maybe, her dad's watch in exchange for keeping her secret knowledge of English from Jin, then we'll know he's Garner in TGE.
Actually, that reminds me - how was it explained that Michael knew it was the watch that made Jin go crazy if he kept Sun's secret about the English-speaking?
ETA Also, count me in the camp of those totally unperturbed by not having seen Claire in the past 2 eps - remember for them it's only been 2 days!

It wasn't. Although they have sort of established that we don't get to be privy to every conversation on the island.
In the beginning when they were asking Michael what he did, Sun was pointing to her wrist and speaking in Korean. Sayid thought she was talking about the cuffs. No one made the connection at that time. Clever writing, that.
I'm sure she could easily explain to Jin that she eventually successfully pantomimed the explaination to the others.
The LOL torrent of this week's LOST downloaded lickity-split for me this afternoon. Wooo!
