And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Really, that line about firework smugglers was the most ludicrous thing ever.
I'm half-hoping it will turn out that the reason Jin and Sun were in Australia is because Jin was put in charge of the Korean mob's international fireworks smuggling ring. Because it would be a shame to waste such a great throwaway line.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I think EL is terrific as Kate. At some moments her inexeprience shows, but much less than, say, CC as early Cordelia.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Kudos to Naveen Andrews for delivering that line without bursting into laughter.
That's when actors earn their money -- not only being able to deliver a line like that with conviction, but repeat it over several takes, from different angles, close enough that you can see their nostril hairs and from far enough away that they can't see the camera without their glasses. And while the crew is struggling not to break up over the line....

Thank god for international makeup smugglers.
Hee. If you only knew how much pricy make-up I'm carting over to Russia for my brother's GF this week...
Birthdate slumbernut. Neat.
Back on topic:
One thing that occurred to me that I didn't see mentioned in regard to Sawyer's motives for being such a jackass and making everyone hate him. I don't think it's just about the self-hate and not deserving to be liked. It's also a defense: if he alienates everyone he comes in contact with, it becomes impossible for him to get back into the con.
Taking what we saw in the ep at face value, the realization of how much he'd become Sawyer seems to have been a real shock, and left him pretty much reeling. He can't trust himself to resist the game, so instead he preemptively trashes any shot he might have at drawing people in.

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

I'm eagerly waiting for the moment when the plane's defibrillator comes into use when one of the island's 46 remaining survivors suddenly goes into cardiac arrest. ER meets The Survivor!

Heee!

All is well that ends in pizza.

The fireworks smuggling? I was assuming they meant someone had stashed a bunch of them in plastic in a crate or large luggage. I guess I expected tourists to be doing the smuggling.
Because organized smuggling of explosives via an airline? Dangerous, stupid, and the volume would make it costly as a business expense.

I think 'delenda est' started on TWoP, before it was TWoP. And it was about Tess, which makes this on topic!
Okay, this is where I admit my ignorance and ask what, exactly, "delenda est" means and why it is so amusing when applied to Wesley or Tess. Help?
He can't trust himself to resist the game, so instead he preemptively trashes any shot he might have at drawing people in.
brenda, I hadn't thought of that! Neat. Although I am still stubbornly resistant to any idea that makes Sawyer a more sympathetic character.
