Yeah, she had done nothing that needed redemption -- except possibly in her own mind.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When I think of the island as Redemption Island, it's in that everyone on the plane gets a nice enlightening and angsty backstory. So no one is as bad as you might have thought, because they have, you know, history. Which is why I want Hurley to have an evil past, and once about which he's not even repentant. He just also happens to be a people person. Oh, and Kate was a drug dealer. And Michael a pimp. And they'd do it again, if they had drugs or hos.

All is well that ends in pizza.

That was the deal for the psychic said he had set up. I got my number from the other couple, the ones that were setting her up in Brisbane. I can see where I erred.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Redemption has always been you have done something really evil - and by act or word you are forgiven. so that explains what I didn't understand. but I do see what ita meant.
and see, I wasn't trying to say that Claire was evil for 'selling' the baby. In fact I don't think she was. there was just an interesting emphasis on money

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I read the emphasis on money as being shorthand for all the pressure she was getting to give up the baby.

Our wings are not tired.
I didn't feel an emphasis on the money. It just seemed part of the process.
During the break I need to watch one episode a day to see what I have missed. I have only rewatched a couple episodes. How a show holds up on rewatch is a major factor in how I rate a show.

I've found that the eps I've rewatched have held up very well.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So. From the previews, does it look like they're not doing a flashback ep this week?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
i'm not sure, Liese. the blurb says that Jack continues to deal with his daddy issues. i don't know if that means we'll get a more in-depth flashback or not.
in semi-related to Lost news, i watched Josh Holloway in Cold Heart last night. whoa. he was creeeeepy. hawt, but creepy.

i would have to agree with that comment. i have rewatched the first couple of eppys including the Pilot and the HSQ of the polar bear still holds up.
also...{{smooch}} to The Partyman. RL is evil. glad to see you around.
