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.
did anyone have any proof that they were actually on an island?
They were on a plane from Sydney to L.A. They diverted towards Fiji but didn't make it that far. It is reasonable for them to conclude that they are on an island in the Pacific Ocean.
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.
There are a gazillion stories, and there's no way I can say having him revived then and there was the best story -- can you?
But I can say, I do appreciate a story that's told because of the story, when I can't rely on meta things (like Dom's not getting fired, especially not outside of sweeps) to convince me of how things are going to turn out.
Keeping him dead for a while and taunting his fanbase? Not precisely gutsy, but it would be completely hysterical, and I'd have loved it for that reason.
didn't recognize the straight razor either
I really believed it. He may have come back (wrong) but I believe he died as much as I believe Buffy did in Prophecy Girl. So to me it was effective enough, I guess.
I have *totally* separated Merry from Charlie. They might as well be 2 different actors to me now. That's good acting.
I agree. I look at Merry and think "that can't be an ex-rock god with an ex-smack habit."
My sister and I were talking the other day about last week's episode. When I mentioned he played Merry she said, "That's where I've seen him!"
Cleolinda's recap had me practically rolling on the floor. I had to wait until everyone was out of the office to really read the whole thing and then I couldn't stop crying from laughing so hard!
Huh. Dan Kwa is stepping down as the Lost recapper for TwoP, it seems. I wonder who's going to step in.
Yeah, I'm sorry to see him go. I think Demian seems like the obvious choice, since he's in the forums enough anyway. I hope it's Strega (cause I want her to recap everything), but I don't know if she watches
Lost
or not. She's got
Carnivale
coming up.
Yeah, I'm sorry to see him go.
Really? I thought he was a pretty bad recapper (at least for
Lost,
I haven't read his recaps for any other shows). I mean, okay, the guy (Daniel?) who filled in for him for that one episode was even worse, but I'll be happy to see someone else's take on the show.
