but he's shot as to totally make us think he's advancing upon Kate in the altogether in an act of sexual intimdation. To which Kate is all like, "Girl, please."

OMG I ♥ Cleolinda. But I'm too tired to read it all tonight. A treat for tomorrow it will be. 'Night.

How did he wind up in Australia?

Well, this is plain to anyone who has been paying attention. He was in Australia because it said so, right there in the script.

Seriously, the gap between Louisiana and Sydney is something that still needs filling-in, which means to me that there will be more Sawyer backstory.

I'm guessing that Sawyer went to Australia to get away from people who would otherwise kill or arrest him, and that he was returning because he'd gotten some sort of lead on the original Sawyer. That would also explain why he had the letter so ready to hand.

dayyyyyyammmmn. Just dayyyyamn.

I'm betting Sawyer is on the run from the black guy to whom he owes $240,000 (wasn't it?)

But, boy, more pretty angsty men than you can shake a stick at.

Okay -- it is interesting that they didn't tell us how or why Sawyer was in Australia.

Also -- if Sawyer is Spike, then Saiyid is Angel. (This thought came to me during the torture scene -- and then he walked off looking for redemption.)

That was good. I am glad that they mixed things up a bit. Who wrote this episode? ('Cause -- good job!)

if Sawyer is Spike, then Saiyid is Angel.

Does that mean that Jack is R*ley?

Nope. Jack can be Giles. Or Principal Hottie.

I thought he might be Darla -- given that he was directing Saiyid in the torture.

Or Principal Hottie

Nope, that's Michael. I think Jack is the R*ley. He's cute, he's heroic, and he leaves me stone cold.

Cleolinda:

she says something about his book and Sawyer chirps, "It's about bunnies!" This is why I cannot remember the rest of the scene, y'all. "Bunnies!"

Another thing that may have led me to think of Emma Caulfield when they flashed back.
