That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

What was the title of this episode? It felt almost like a season opener: lots of setup, very little payoff. I was kind of let down by the revelation of what was in the case--I rather hope it turns out that there was something else in the safety-deposit box. I bought that she was genuinely upset and whacked out over it, but I wanted something more. (Though it's cool and nicely creepy that it was a toy airplane.) Also, Kate, sweetie, if you wanted the case that badly, why did you give it to Sawyer in the first place??? But I liked Jack's interactions with her in this ep, how he had her number from the first--and now, he's got the guns, too. And I was pleased to see more of Kate's stone-killer past.

Loved Shannon singing "Beyond the Sea", hated the potential for Shannon/Sayid. And I actually like Shannon's character, but I think a relationship between them would be too contrived.

And I thought Boone was right.

About what? Shannon's being useless?

CHARLIE, JE T'ADORE! And I really liked his scene with Rose at the end, especially because it ties in nicely with what we saw of his past (e.g. going to confession) in "The Moth".

The timing of the rising tide was indeed eerie.

I can't help but wonder if Boone's sense of worth depends heavily on Shannon playing the role of the incompetent, lesser sibling.

Ooh, Anne, I think you're onto something here. It would explain a lot about both characters.

I grump because I love.

Me too.

this bugged us too. He didn't see it down there. Why not leave it and retrieve it when Sawyer's not around?

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

About what? Shannon's being useless?

Yes, and wilfully so.

Art Crawl!!!

From the recap:

This was a mistake," says Sayid. Like, dude. Take a break or something. Shannon retorts, "Haven't you heard? I'M COMPLETELY USELESS!" And then she storms off to her room to cry into her pink satin pillow and play Evanescence really loud, or something.

Hee.

"Whatever The Case May Be"

Snerk. This just got an audible snort out of me.

Seriously!

The recap was awesome, and reading some of the comments reminded me that I, too, think of "Beyond the Sea" as being, first and foremost, the Song About Scully's Dead Dad.
