Oh, and in response to Steph's question, also potentially zombie dad. Unless he's not there. In which case, file under, Hallucinations, Vivid, which the island also appears to have in plenty.

[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.

OK, that right there? That'd creep me right the hell out.
Love the recap. This in particular made me chuckle:
"IF YOU DON'T STOP FOLLOWING US," says Ethan, "I WILL KILL ONE OF THEM." In reply, Jack bleeds on the mud.
Another exciting moment in the Incredible Advertures of Jack Sheppard, Ineffectual Hero.
I can't decide if it's more disturbing that cleolinda didn't recognize that what Sawyer was unfolding in front of Sayid was a straight razor (not nail clippers), or that I did recognize it.
What is clearly evident is that Dominic Monaghan will still be on the show next episode. Taking his face away from us and them would be a very ballsy move.
But if he had stayed dead in this episode, but then came back later as a hallucination or was brought back in some other way, would that still be non-ballsy? I guess I just don't get the emphasis on the writers' cojones in risking the wrath of Dom's fanbase as opposed to telling the best story.
ETFGrammar & clarify
I was surprised cleolinda didn't recognize the straight razor, too, dcp. I don't think Sawyer intended to actually use it, though. I think he was more interested in how Sayid would react to thinking he would.
I guess for me, killing off Dom's character, at least for an episode ('cause mind you, not all the major players are onscreen every episode) would have been more powerful.
However, since we still have not gotten utterly and definitively into fantasy yet, there wasn't any way to have him only mostly dead for that long, and still come back in a (presumably) practical and physical way.
Until Sayid stole the maps from Danielle, did anyone have any proof that they were actually on an island? Or were they just guessing?
Cleolinda was writing from memory and screencaps. I'm thinking she missed exactly what Sawyer had in his hand due to there being no "HEY LOOK!" insert shot of the item to screencap.
Otherwise, we're back to did Sawyer tell Hurley his real name, or was his name listed as Sawyer on the manifest.
His name would be listed as Sawyer, as he was traveling/living under that name. Even in the flashback.
My question is if the first name was Tom...
I think I mentioned my theory that he is Dread Pirate Sawyer. The man he took his name from wasn't really named Sawyer, either. He was also looking for the man named Sawyer who caused the death of HIS parents...and so on.
