I'm kind of excited that Nip/Tuck won. Although, I would have been excited if Lost won too.
Doesn't it seem like Lost would be likely to win Emmys?
Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

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

Not especially.

Thrive to spite them
This episode made me hate Locke even more, and I didn't think that was possible. I don't love to hate him even, I keep hoping he'll be eaten by whatever he's made an unholy pact with.
However, I have to say that of all the manipulative people around he is the absolute best -- I don't think anyone has really twigged on his level of manipulation. Sayid is maybe suspicous, but I think Sayid is just suspicious by nature.
Locke played Charlie really well with the guitar, I never believed that Locke made it appear, just that he saw it, got Charlie into position and then pointed it out. Locke didn't do anything really special to get the dog...he made the whistle, but it was probably just a matter of time before the dog came back around.
Sawyer in the police station is a nice touch, I can't remember but has Boone indicated he'd seen Sawyer before.
Boone is getting more boring. Shannon, however, becomes more interesting when she's with Sayid...he brings something out in her.

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

I think it comes down to Ian isn't that great an actor. Very pretty, and he's not terrible, but compared to the high quality around him he's limited. And the character is dim in a dangerous way -- as Robin said so well 'the sort of person who is weak and thinks they are strong'. Maggie Grace is a lot more modulated and has a real spark and snap to her. And for all her sulking, the couple of times Shannon's had to do something under pressure, she's done so. As opposed to Boone, who has made the wrong decision practically every time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I agree with DX. Nip/Tuck got shocking in ways Lost hasn't yet.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Doesn't matter, really. First of all, there's context. Boone having seen Sawyer once briefly when he's concerned with his own problems. It's not like Sawyer stopped, stared him in the face and shouted "What're you looking at monkey boy?" or "You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"
Second, you might be able to apply the Mel Brooks Theorum about being loud and obnoxious, and no one will look directly at one's face...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Third,
after that he had sex with his stepsister. So that may trump all.

BTW, I may die laughing if Shannon has a pregnancy scare.

Unless the flashback was not real, but a part of his delusion. Hmmm...
hee.
