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

Which, not so much with the protein-getting.

Perfect opportunity for someone to step up and prove him replaceable. So far, only Jin has a shot.

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

there's fruit aplenty

Except for the part where Kate and Sawyer had a conversation that established that the surviviors have already picked clean the trees near them, and are already having to expand their searches.

I don't understand. This week's episode was in part about the survivors' inability to find balanced meals for themselves.

You can't figure out how to diagnose a systolic murmur.

And how useful is this diagnosis, exactly?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Very. When the systole's murmuring, you can't understand a fucking word it says.

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

Wait, why am I trying to convince people that Jack should be the first pick? The ideal strategy is to have people not think that, and suggest an S curve picking system and let them have the first pick! Then they take Locke and I've got Jack and Sun as my 2nd and 3rd picks. That way no matter who they pick as 4th and 5th, there are bound to still be at least two people left in my Pool of Potentially Useful people (Michael, Jin, Sayid, Hurley, Kate). If I'm really lucky they go by drool and pick Sawyer as 4th or 5th...

(bats eyes innocently) Gosh, you are so right, Locke's the one to pick! Too bad I'm going second! You're so lucky!

ETA: adding a not so that it makes, y'know, sense.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

what emergency kit in the world is equipped with antibiotics

Jack had Hurley look through the bags for bottles of medicine, especially drugs that ended in "mycin," in one of the early eps.

ita's right. I have no brothers. So my BF may be heavy, but he ain't my brother.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Also, what is Kate trying to do, exactly? Grow a passionfruit tree? In a garden plot? Uh huh. Whichever.

I think the seeds are a metaphor for their love or something.
