I want Charlie to apprentice himself to Sayid.
I'd either be trying to learn everything Locke knows, or Sayid knows, at this point.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

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

If I only had a brain...
I'd go with Jin. I think I'm going to be better at the planting than the Slaying. (Also, I can point out to her that some of the stuff she's planting won't fruit for YEARS.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'd either be trying to learn everything Locke knows, or Sayid knows, at this point.
I think I'd be trying to learn from Sayid, myself. All hotness issues aside, he doesn't strike me as someone collecting minions or acolytes. I'm getting more of an "embrace my rightness" vibe from Locke, which creeps me out.

But Locke and Sayid can do so much more than slaying. And once Jin's planted, do you really need to do that much more?

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

I think you mean Sun. Jin's her non-English-speaking fisherman mob-boss husband.

It always comes around to corpse disposal here, doesn't it?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I thought that scene between Charlie and Hurley was deeply hysterical. So oddly pragmatic on one hand, and then zombie fear.

When they had that scene, I went to look up the writer, because it was quotable, and Lost doesn't do that.
Drew. Ahhhh.

I missed the zombie reference. I'm so embarrassed.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.
My Evil has to be far removed from reality though.
I think that was my especial problem with this. It's still absolutely true that I don't identify or sympathize, pretty much ever, with people being deliberately evil, but what especially got me here was that we had this guy and his small, genial life being smashed by His Assholeness, and my reaction, from the way the script was written, was not supposed to be "God, you are a fucking menace, and you should be in jail for the rest of your life", my reaction was apparently supposed to be "aw! Poor Sawyer-woobie! Tricked by that mean conman!" I'm used to victims being ignored, but to have the death of a innocent not only completely devalued but indeed actively used to evoke sympathy for his murderer revolted me, and was realistic enough (I've seen it in real life), to trigger all my buttons.
So mostly I'm going to blame poor writing. I really, really do not get the Drew Goddard love. I think that's at least three things I've seen written by him, and none of them especially impressed me (though Anya and bunnies was at least amusing, if slapstick.)
