Jeez, man, all he did was dig a couple of holes and make some flags.

Well, he also cut the grass somehow. I mean, it was longish, but it wasn't long enough to be wilderness.

My big comment on the episode: when I am fleeing from torture/execution, and some dude shoots himself and his buddy to buy me time to escape, I do not pause in my escape to write long lines of poetry! That is what Significant Looks are for, Nadia!!

Also, Ms. Rousseau really really not French-sounding. There was some word with a prominent H in it, and when she said that one word I was like, "Oh look, now we are in Sarajevo!" I mean, there is vague-foreignness and then there is not actually knowing what a French accent sounds like.

Do not personally understand the appeal of golf. Clearly, there is some kind of appeal, unless everyone was so desperate for fun they were pathetically grateful for any effort thereat by their mates. Personally I would have preferred a really big and exciting sand castle, or something.

If you're going to be walking around in the hot sun anyway, you might as well be hitting something with a stick.

The end of the game was such a Caddyshack moment. I was waiting for the course to explode.

After two weeks on a remote tropical island with no tv/internet/radio/newspapers/immunity challenges, I think golf would start to look pretty good.

What Jessica said. I wouldn't make an effort to watch a golf game, but if it was watch a golf game or sit on the beach for the five thousandth hour, I'd pick the golf.

And this was my favorite episode so far.

Why am I not taping these? Why do I not have TIVO?

I am sad.

I can think of many many things I would rather do than play golf, even on a deserted tropical island. There has not yet been a single instance of tree-climbing for the sake of throwing things (coconuts, bananas) at innocent passers-by, for instance.

lexine is me. Except I'm not taping because the frickin' frackin' VCR is broken.

Michael's "duh" moment with regard to the golf game was so blatant, as everyone else has said. But I'm not sure Locke is going to be all evil mastermind yet, so maybe Walt is okay with him. For now. Although learning to throw knives is definitely not an elementary-school-age appropriate activity.

Crazy!Danielle was crazy in a sad way, I thought. I wonder if she ever had to pull one of her own teeth. Very interested in who Alex is, and wondering if something else frightening is going to happen to Sayid now. Next week looks scary, and I've missed Claire. Plus, more Charlie!

And I clearly need to start reading cleolinda's recaps because what everyone posts of them here are hilarious. Also, I cannot keep up with this thread.

So, supposing he doesn't get eaten and/or Locke-d, how pissed is Sayid going to be to get back and find them all golfing?

Yes.
