There are at least three generations on the island - the cave corpses, the boat people, and now the plane survivors.
I really, really want the cave corpses to turn out to be Amelia Earhart and whats-his-name.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

I didn't like this show at first but I caught last week's episode and it's starting to suck me in a little bit. I'm glad they didn't kill Charlie because he, Claire, and Hurley are the only people I like. Am I the only one who thinks that Jack and Kate are boring, one-dimensional, and annoying as hell?
Also, does anyone else find this supernatural stuff really dull so far? Is Walt just lucky or can he do stuff with his MIND? Is Locke a nice guy or POSSESSED by the ISLAND? I guess, when I heard about Lost over the summer, I thought that watching a group of random people trying to survive on a deserted island sounded interesting and I thought the show would be solely about that - power dynamics, being trapped with 40 random strangers, homesickness, finding food, drinking water, tampons, birth control, etc. So, when I watched the actual show and there was all these "mysterious" happenings, I was disappointed. It's not the show's fault, but I can't stop comparing the idea I had of it to the actuality.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Locke is Blackavar, btw.
(In case anyone was still mentally doing the Watership Down casting thing.)

If I only had a brain...
Compare the ambiguity of almost anything Locke says with the flat-out "tell, don't show" coming from Kate and Jack.

No.
Heh. I should have guessed.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Especially given that female screams heard by Jack before his strange encounter with Ethan.
Oh, which raises another point: Kate couldn't hear the screams, but Jack could (when he went scrambling off into the bushes again, after his altercation with Ethan, she kept saying "where are you going?" and he said "I'm following the screams" and she said "what screams?" [paraphrased]). What does that mean? Were "the others" luring him on in some way, and if so, why?
My interest in both Kate and Jack is flagging ("TELL ME SOMETHING REAL!" "I hunted deer with my daddy once!"), but damn if they didn't knock that scene with Charlie out of the park last night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought they were birds or monkeys -- it wasn't until Jack freaked that I thought they might be human. I'm still of two minds.

Apparently they only emote well in concert if Charlie is also present. A solution suggests itself...

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I'm glad they didn't kill Charlie because he, Claire, and Hurley are the only people I like.
When Jack was trying to revive Charlie one of the things that was going through my head was "Claire is going to be so upset when she learns that Charlie's dead." My heart was breaking for just the emotional impact of the moment and the destruction of the bond that Charlie and Claire had together.
