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.
Giles ,'Touched'
Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR
[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.
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.
jumpin' in here. i love my boys angsty. and full o' sarcasm. so Sawyer is so my cup of tea. i also completely agree with Heather. Sawyer has become what he hated for most of his natural born life and he wants to be punished for it.
also? i've been saying since last week that Locke was the one who hit Sayid. after his comments tonight, i'm even more certain that's the case. from what we've seen, he's the only one benefitting from being on the island.

I thought it was her too!
