A sad little dark woobie.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
(I don't know what it says about me that, during the conversation between Sayid and Charlie, I was wondering what the Buffistas were going to make of the scene, given last week's conversation in this thread. That I've been sucked in, I suppose!)

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

On DVD in September! Finally!
Gods, that was a brilliant show.

What did everyone think about Charlie this episode?
I'm glad Drew retconned his motivations for shooting Ethan a bit (not so much retconned as added to in a sensible manner). I found him less unlikeable than I did at the end of last week's episode.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I do not have Charlie love. I really do feel like a stranger in a strange land when I go over to livejournal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When I consider my feelings for Charlie it becomes apparent that I'm constructing these people with some input from the show. I have this strange feeling that for, say, Charlie, I know how he should work, and I'll keep pretending that's my version onscreen.
I think it's because the version I see either doesn't work right, or isn't interesting enough. So I make stuff up. But it's nice to see Drew gave him the motivation that I felt I had to assume he had. I doubt it'll continue to align.
Jack and Kate barely exist in my mental expanse, though, because there's just not enough for me to fill in. I can't like or dislike them consistently, because they're not consistent enough.

If I only had a brain...
Yup. Jack and Kate are the Empty Pretty People.

I used to, but I lost it last week. Here is an LJ post to make you feel at home.

Exactly.
Jack and Kate are the Empty Pretty People.
I think Drew wrote a good and interesting Kate last night, at least. She acted realistically toward Sawyer, I think, and gave him the mocking he deserved. Also, she had a new purple tank top. Pretty.

ooh. thanks for that link. That did make me feel better, P-C.

Heh, for Charlie, I'm mostly struck by, "Aw, he's just got the sweetest expression when he looks at her sometimes." I think I conflate what I have grown to feel is DM's utter adorableness (which did not kick in for me until post-Hobbitness) with the character that is Charlie. I don't find the character particularly compelling, but... awww. Cute. Hey, at least I'm aware of my silly. And his story could always get more engaging, you never know.
I enjoy Charlie with Hurley, too. The writers need to keep that in mind.
