A girl with money and decent looks, who can't put Sawyer down when he implies she'll sleep with him for sunscreen... just doesn't click.

But look at the scene where she boasts self-sufficience right in front of Charlie, nixing her chances of getting him to catch another fish for her. She's manipulative without being very good at it. It's very amusing. It's like she's a poseur bee-yatch. Which, again, makes me wonder why she's chosen to put on a facade she sucks at.

I bet Charlie'd do it again. He wants to be liked. She'll just have to work at it a little harder. Also, she's never gone without. She got the fish just like she said she would (so to speak). It wasn't about food, it was about besting her brother right then. She expects other people to keep her fed until they're rescued.

I bet Charlie'd do it again

I bet he would, too, but not for her. As Jack said, everyone has to contribute what they can do. I'm wondering what Shannon will do, offer everyone manicures?

Jack's episode just started here. I missed the earlier one, but it's ok. I had Interstellar Chocolate Love Cake instead, and just have to say, nummy! I also had a glass of wine with dinner, which I am now realizing affected me more than I had thought, 'cause I can't type worth shit right now. I am such a wine wimp.

I think you were drinking the "will cause funny typing" kind of wine. It doesn't affect speech, only the fingers. It's also known as the "dyslexic fingers" wine. The warning label reads: "Will cause extreme typing unfriendliness. Do not take before tests, while writing papers or while nattering with the Buffistas."

Yep. That's the stuff.

I read, I think in EW, that they weren't paying the cast enough to make them diet, so they would show various food windfalls in at least some of the episodes. I can't remember who was quoted, but he specifically mentioned Jorge Garcia (Hurley), who I just love.

I read the same thing. Besides over the first season they will have only been there for 40 days. As long as they can still fish and kill wild boar they should be fine. It's not like they're just living on rice.

Someone needs to get scurvy. Just so they can say the word "scurvy."

Jack: "She's got scurvy."
Hurley: "What's scurvy, dude?"
Jack: "It results from Vitamin C deficiency."
Shannon: "Vitamin what?"
Hurley: "Well she hasn't been drinking a lot of OJ, man."
Locke: "At first light, we hunt. The OJ sleeps during the day, leaving the pulp to protect the young. The young are the most vulnerable. We need two to distract the pulp and one to fill the glass."
