But why did no one even try asking Sawyer nicely for the medication? I mean, he has shown before that 'please' works when other things don't. I can understand it not being the first resort, but I would have tried it before torture. Feh.

Well, my feelings on this is that 'please' works if you need to get your hands on a sweater because you're cold or your pet cat is choking up furballs so you need... whatever you might need to help flush it out of its system (if there is such a thing). Not that there are cats on the island. Probably.

But when a girl's life is at stake? Not so much with the politeness.

EDIT: Because "it's" and "its" does NOT mean the same thing. Go figure.

No, that's a good point.

I think the problem with "please" was that the first Sawyer knew about the inhalers was Boone going through his stash, without explanation, and it just escalated from that point.

Seems like you would find out pretty quick if please would word, and could always try the more time-consuming torture afterwards.

This is what happened. What bothers me is that Jack and Kate, and Sayid for that matter, each strike me as both smart enough and perceptive enough to realize that 'please' would be more likely to be effective with Sawyer than torture. Also, that trying it would be faster. It especially bothered me that Kate didn't try. IRC, she tried using please with Sawyer before, after non-effective begging, to good effect. I can't remember exactly when that happened, though, so I could be wrong on that one.

t Creates a comfy corner strewn with pillows, where everyone who thinks that Sawyer is off in the woods fondling his stash of inhalers and snickering is welcome.

That would be a twist. Twists are good. So are comfy pillows.

Does that copy of Watership Downs look like it has been in water, to anyone?

No. Not only no, but hell no.

I missed the beginning. That's good to know.

No. Not only no, but hell no.

Not only hell no, but WHATTHEFUCKEVER YOU LYING SON-OF-A-BITCH NO.

Actually, I don't think know whether he had the inhalers. Wonder if someone else took them.

I wonder why no one called him on it. You'd think that they would have thought to make it wet, at least, if they didn't intend people to notice it not being wet. Unless they are like me, and hate to damage books. But I doubt that's the case.
