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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.
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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I really, really want the cave corpses to turn out to be Amelia Earhart and whats-his-name.
That would be perfect.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I will say, imagine that revival scene without Kate in it -- it's not as effective is it? Anyway, not for me. Having her there and watchign and agonizedly editorializing and shrieking made the scene that much more potent than if it had just been Miracle Jack trying to fix all his past mistakes in one moment. It was like she screamed for the whole audience, you know?
Good transformative moment, anyway. The way they all sort of clutched each other, when he started breathing again.

Except that they're already living on a planet in the Delta Quadrant, after having been discovered and de-stasised by the crew of Voyager. But it's OK, because Voyager really wasn't very good. So.

Yeah, I knew that, but that's the ep that really turned me off of Voyager, so I pretend it never happened. And even if it did, we can explain everything with a temporal anomaly. Delenn being on the island is a little tougher.

Hee. I figured.

They are so convenient.

I can't hear you.

Maybe what Locke and Boone found in the jungle was a piece of the Flying Laboratory?

Yeah, Kate's reaction just got to me viscerally. The helpless sobs, and the way she used her hand to wipe her eyes--it was such a child-like gesture, it broke my heart. EL was really good there.
