Hee.
Yeah, I'd use my words, not my pain threshhold to prove my point. Most times.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I sort of have problem reconciling Sawyer's self-serving material-hoardiness with his barely-disguised deathwish, but if one is to accept the dude has a deathwish, then it makes sense for him to try to bring everyone else down to his level while he's at it. Punish himself, and punish his so-called 'betters'--killing two birds with one stone.
I don't have anything particularly against redemption stories per se, but it's something that needs to be earned over time, not given over wholesale. His thawing at the golf course, while a part of me went "damn, those dimples are cute!", just felt way, WAY premature. I'd definitely like it better if it were a ploy to get into Kate's pants good graces.
Btw, how many survivors are there on the island now (not counting Danielle, Jack's maybe zombie dad or the assortment of arctic animals)? I thought it was 48 initially, then 47 after Joanna's death, but someone tells me otherwise.

I do still have some faint hope that Kate, despite being an apparently nice person, is actually guilty of some horrific crime that would have everyone who hears about it (including Sawyer) recoiling in shock.
Like (Farscape spoiler) Aeryn and Pilot.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
That could be good. I suspect at this point that it either has to be something she inadvertently did with truly disastrous results or a somewhat justified yet cold-blooded killing (say having to kill a corrupt fellow officer/agent). I don't think they'll go the route of her actually being a manipulative Black Widow-type femme fatale.
Or maybe she was a Fox News reporter who was going to blow the whistle on illegal activities on the part of the current administration...

Maybe Kate is really Alex, and her French mother Danielle killed her British father Robert, who it turns out improbably survived his shooting, and they all think they work for competing secret government agencies but actually work for the same multi-national conglomerate.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay, if Wolfram turns out to be right I will a) be extremely suspicious of his nym, and 2) LOVE IT! That's a great scenario!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
For those of you going through Lost withdrawal, I suggest you check out this very amusing thread on TWoP discussing the imaginary episode we saw tonight.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

48 initially, then 47 after the Marshall's death, then 46 after Joanna's drowning.
he knows that they think they have this moral high ground when it comes to him and i think he wanted to show them(and Kate) that they weren't as pure as they pretended to be.
Oh, I hadn't thought of it that way, but that makes a lot of sense.
