Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What about Sun?

You may have my portion of Sayid and/or Michael, as I will not be using them.

Since Sayid is mine, Steph's portion is zero, so that works for me.

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

If there was a cage match of wiles, I'd bet on Sun. Wouldn't crush on her, but I'd wager.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've found Harold Perrineau attractive before, but not as Michael. He's too...something.

Boone needs to join James Franco at the Remedial School For Actors Who Never Open Their Fucking Eyes. (Taught by Elijah Wood, natch.)

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

Having read several shooting scripts, I think I can say with certainty that the writers are well aware of the hotness of torturned shirtless men.

Oh, come on, share the details Jessica :)

These boys don't grow up and get better. Hitting them with the magic of love, has the same effect the tazer had on BtVS's s4 Adam. They're bad news. Eventually age may mellow them to the point where they're innocuous, at least physically, but I feel like doing an adult public service annoucement Sesame Street filk, every time I read someone wants to F Sawyer.

Word. The woobiefication of Sawyer kind of creeps me out.

The real question is whether there are any characters with sufficient emotional cruelty to knock Sawyer out of his high castle. Assholes do sometimes reform, but it generally requires debasement, a lot of psychotherapy, and possibly a good thrashing.

Actually, I thought Jack made a good start at it in this week's episode. Refusal to tolerate any crap from Sawyer; demonstrating to him just how ugly it could get if other people started treating Sawyer by his own rules; forcing him to yield without playing into his psychodramas.

And even though I think the torture was a mistake, it seems to have had salutary effects on Sawyer. Which I guess doesn't surprise me entirely.

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

I am so abandoning my painful feminine beauty practices

Hell yeah.

F-Michael (mmm), F-Sayid (mmmmmmmmm), F-Boone (and then quickly discard), F-Locke (there's something about his creepiness that is weirdly compelling).

C-Jin, C-Jack, C-Sawyer as far the hell away from me as possible.

M-Hurley, M-Charlie.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well, I'd F Sawyer only because he IS bad news. In my view of this game, M is reserved for the truly good guys. F is for the damaged but delicious looking fellows who really know how to kiss. IRL, I long ago learned that generous, healthy, open, supportive men were much more worth loving and the only ones I wanted beside me for the long haul.

F-Boone, Sayid, Scott and/or Steve, Michael, Charlie (if he could be convinced to scrub himself clean under that waterfall)
C-Sawyer, Jin, Hurley, Locke
M-Jack

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I sorta thought this, too. But I'm not sure that it did convince Sawyer of anything. For one thing, he took the case from Kate because he could. Despite Kate's pretty serious attempts to recover it, he refused to return it without explanation, because he could. Sawyer will always prey on those he feels weaker than himself. I don't think that is going to change very soon. He just fears the wrath of Jack/Sayid.

And, welcome, tavella!
