I was SO happy Kate really was a criminal, and not just a poor ickle girl who just had to shoot the big bad robbers.

(Also, Kate/Sawyer is still hot.)

I definitely got a Shannon/Sayid vibe in the last scene. They're both very pretty. (And, didn't Boone look weirdly jealous as he lurked lurkily n the shadows?)

And damn, the actress playing Shannon has a nice singing voice

Was that the actress's real singing voice, or was she dubbed?

Also am very worried about Claire.

Yeah, but does it feel like we're the only ones? Sure Charlie's sad, but everyone seems pretty "Aw, Claire was nice. Too bad she's so gone and likely dead. Hey, remember how she was going into labor? Yeah, that was neat. Let's be sad." Or were there mentions of further search parties that I missed and will catch on rewatch?

I mean, I know the jungle's scary, but damn, yo.

Just my take, but I think the adoringly Sayid was looking was more like an "Aww, isn't that sweet? She's making an effort," like at a precocious three-year-old.

I don't like Ian Somerhalder, and I think Boone is ineffectual, no matter what the writers are saying, and I just wish he'd get eated and go away.

And I want Sun to just stand up and say, "Yo, I went off and learned English. Deal with it." and get on with doing what she can to help, without playing the coy sign language pidgin thing. Tired of it.

And just as an aside, Billy Boyd sang Beyond the Sea at some fundraiser in the not-so-distant past. Not badly, either.

Nice to see Rose. Toy airplane creepy. Kate's a wackaloon, but pretty to watch. And Sawyer may be a jackhole, but OMGWTFPRETTY! "Git on in here, girl!" Much swoonage.

Strangely enought the guy who played Jason was in something called "Found" last year.

Loved the return of Rose (and of Sun, a bit).

The little airplane was a propeller plane--looked sort of like a "Memphis Belle"-type bomber from WWII.

I'm really loving the idea that Charlie might be brought back to God by Rose, considering how devout he was before Driveshaft took over.

I've been reluctant to actually like Kate--I didn't know exactly why, but looking back, I think it was because I didn't like the idea that she might be a "good" killer (killed abusive ex, or something like it). Now that we know that she's not only cold enough to romance a bank robber and use him to set up an elaborate job, but was able to shoot him (and the other two henchman) when he got in her way, I like her!

Also like not-a-sucker Jack.

Ah, he was on One Life to Life, too. I thought he looked familiar. (And I will be the first to admit how sad it is that I even know that. But I've been watching it basically as long as I've been alive.)

GODDAMMIT MY BOYFRIEND'S TIVO IS FUCKED AND I CAN'T WATCH LOST.

Someone point me to a good synopsis, eh?

And if anyone can tell me what might have happened to make his Tivo record everything all fuzzy and fucked, let me know so I can try to fix it please.

So, that little airplane. I don't buy Kate would go into all that trouble and jeopardizing lives and killing the robbers for that model airplane for sentimental values alone. I don't care how much she loved the dude she killed. There is more to that plane than meets the eye. And why airplane, of all keepsakes? Is J.J. just being cute, or is there a connection between the toy airplane and the Oceanic that crashed? What?

I'm glad Kate's crime turned out to be something hardcore. And truthfully, I found the badass Kate with the double gun action at the bank sort of hot.

Sayid and Shannon had genuine sparkage. Who'd have thought? Chemistry! Chemistry in new places!

There is more to that plane than meets the eye.

You get this feeling it's like the polar bear in the comic that Walt was reading. It's so hard anymore to know what is of significance beyond it's stated purpose and what isn't.

Rio, you want a tape? I've still got it on the Tivo.
