Another social casualty...

As I remember it, Shannon was distracted talking to Anonymous Woman and only remembered to light her rocket and turn on the antenna when the woman pointed out Sayid's rocket blast.

Another thing is that we know is that Sayid started to get a signal on the transceiver when he was knocked out, which suggests both Shannon's and Sawyer's antennae were turned on. If it was Sawyer who hit Sayid, why would he have turned his antenna on? It would have frustrated and distracted Sayid more if he could not get a signal, which would have been more difficult if the antenna was turned off.

Yup. That's what happened. But it's not surprising that Shannon needed a reminder like that.

Oh, I'm totally in the "Sawyer didn't do it" camp, I was just explaining why I can see how Sayid bought Locke's accusation.

Oh, I know Kalshane. I was just trying to point out one more little piece of evidence I noticed in the "Sawyer didn't do it" column. I think Locke probably did it, or he knows who did.

Sawyer's would have had to arrange for his antenna to be on, otherwise Sayid would have known that either Boone/Shannon or Kate/Sawyer had screwed up, whether accidently or on purpose, which would defeat the whole sneaking-up-behind-Sayid plan. They didn't show Sawyer turn on his rocket like they did Shannon, so it's still possible for the writers to pin the cold cocking on him by showing someone else setting off Sawyer's rocket.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Kathy -- weren't there a couple of days between last week's and this week's episodes?

Well, Jack's shoulder was still hurting him, and it's only been seven days total since they ran out of food way back in "Walkabout," so I'm not too sure it wasn't only one day.

Is there a timeline out there somewhere in the internets?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Upon rewatch this morning, I just have to say.... I'd think Charlie about as likely to find a jar of peanut butter as he would of finding an empty, intact glass jar.

If humans can survive the fuselage tumble throught the jungle, what's to say there wasn't something in that jar, packed away in luggage? Sure, it's long since eaten, as they went through all on-board food as of a week ago, but the jar would remain. Not only that, it was likely washed out and used for water, or boars meat, or fish in the interim.

I don't know if it was the acting or my overactive tastebuds, but I was tasting peanut butter in that scene. Creamy.

It was very powerfully suggestive. I tasted peanut butter, too.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

There already appears to be a song about Evangeline Lilly. Huh. It took David Duchovny 5+ years to get there. That's fast. (Unless the song's supposed to be about some other Evangeline and someone just stuck her photo there. Guess that's possible.)

The song's awfully... peppy. Not that it's bad or anything.

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

If it was Sawyer who hit Sayid, why would he have turned his antenna on? It would have frustrated and distracted Sayid more if he could not get a signal, which would have been more difficult if the antenna was turned off.

IIRC there was a post about a week ago that said that technically they only needed two antennas and the transeiver. This would allow them to see if the signal was coming from within that triangle. Three antennas AND the transeiver would allow Sayid to more closely pinpoint the exact location of the signal's broadcast.
