'Safe'
[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.
And yes, the words written on the paper (as far as I could tell) were the lyrics to "La Mer".
I think so too, because I remember seeing "argent" written and thinking it was another bad translation when she said "silver." (It does mean silver, but it also means money, and that was the first meaning my mind went to, my French being worse than Shannon's.)
Of course, her French seems to come and go, because, like you said, the first meaning most people would think of was money, and that she said silver (which is the proper translation for the song) and also (if memory serves) knew the word for pond, doesn't jive at all with her complete mistranslation of the distress call. And, as I said, for someone that lived with a family in St. Tropez, her pronunciation was really really bad.
t nitpicky
Maybe Sawyer didn't take his pants off because he's going commando.
Also:
IOW, his jealousy at the end of last night's ep wasn't so much sexual jealousy as it was jealousy over the fact that the island's resident smart guy was relying on Shannon for help on an important project instead of him.
You make alot of sense there Anne.
I was wondering where the "man I love" that Kate killed was her father too. Also -- guessing that Ranger!Daddy taught her the gun skills too.
I would think "argent" meant silver rather than money because I don't know French at all, just the periodic table.
Do the french lyrics for "La Mer" signify anything relevant to the island? I can find the lyrics in French, but not a translation and I have no French, so...

Nothing that jumps out at me. I'd translate, but everytime I try to do that with lyrics it comes out wrong like a wrong thing.
I don't know why, but I read "man I love" and "man I killed" as a misdirect, of one kind or another, and so because this:
I got the impression that she's basically a good person who needed to commit a crime because of something sentimental and possibly twee....is what I suspect, a child seemed a good substitute for whatever she is lying about. She's a lying liar telling lies, and I'm so afraid it's going to end up that she's lying about something horribly sympathetic. I blame Memorex!Giles.
I loved the Blue Lagoon opening, complete with Fantasy Island-type music. Because: (1) Sawyer hot. Sawyer SO HOTT. (2) All I could think was "You're stranded on the Island of Fucked-Upped-ness -- this idyllic swim is going to have a nasty side."
Sawyer squicks me so freaking badly, I can't even see the pretty. I know there's pretty if I look at pictures of the actor, but the character just makes me cringe all the time. Last night, I finally figured out why (I am not one who has to watch from the hall too often). He is just too close to my own soul sucking demon of yore, for me to enjoy that he's a hot, manipulative redneck. My soul sucking demon was not a redneck, as he lived in one of the hearts of Old Yankee Land, but that's only a matter of geography.
In a moment of marital amusement, we were watching last night, and Sawyer did something particularly assholish, and my dh yelled out the name of one of his own brothers, as I yelled out soul sucking demon's name.

Well, there are certainly worse times you could do that...

Fair enough. If nothing jumps out, there probably isn't anything.

Well, he had that moment with Kate before, in which he strutted out of the ocean buck-naked like some she-male Aphrodite, cocky as he pleases. I doubt he had an attack of bashfulness here. I'm not sure *why* he didn't take his pants off. Wet jeans are nasty-uncomfortable.
I hope they won't go all Flowers in the Attic with Boone and Shannon, 'cause that's way predictable by now. Although Boone sure is projecting the creepy vibe.

I was thinking the same thing.

House of Usher, baby.
