Well, really, I'd want them to kill and eat the most annoying ones, but that's probably not prime-time...

I don't mean they should become one big happy family. I just dislike the Good vs Evil storyline, in general.

The islanders will divide. Humans form camps. Silly humans.

The tension between camps is the stuff of stories. Conflict. The Romeo and Juliet of it all, when my man Hurley captures the heart of the Uber-Bitch.

Oy.

Do you think, with only 46? (Not the silly part, 'cause, yeah). I mean, with so few humans, I might tend to think safety in numbers more than ... ew, those guys are weird, I'm moving my hut. So, I'm saying, they have conflicts for sure, but they try to muddle through it as a group. Maybe a couple of outliers. I dunno.

So many possibilites ...

Now we're getting into pig on a stick, let's kill the Hurley territory. I don't like it. I'd prefer that things be a little less divisive, more with combining and recombining based on relationships and betrayals, eddies within the group, without it splitting and becoming two entirely separate groups.

I was thinking something (happens now and again). It went something like: What if we never find out how/why the polar bear got there? What if it's just part of the island's past and makes it interesting just like hidden depths in a new friend, about which we may never know the truth, make the friend interesting? And then I thought, well, then, that makes the island a character, with flaws and secrets and bad hair days just like the rest. And I liked that thought, so I thought (again, yes!) that I'd share it with all of you.

This is what I'm thinking. Deena says it pretty.

Because you are one of the less silly, though always amusing, humans. Humans divide, even when it is contra-survival.

Yes!

is the island mojo

I'm not sure the island has mojo. I'm thinking more like a catalyst. It's not an active thing, but once you come in contact with it, you change.

46

Hmmmm. Humans have 46 chromosomes. Which must be divided into 2 sets of 23 in order to recombine and replicate. Ashtareth? I need more tinfoil! I'm looking at you, girl.

46: Humans have 46 chromosomes.

BWAH!

Gawd, I hope that was a joke.

Heh.

Humans divide, even when it is contra-survival.

And suddenly, the concept of the Buffista Island is seeming a tad more ... suspect. IJS.

I don't see Jack's occasional rudeness as him being callous and selfish

Neither do I. I think I might get kind of Hey, backoff a little, will ya'? if everyone were suddenly looking to me to know what to do and lead everything. Even if I were uber-capable. I mean, really, just crash landed on an island here like the rest of y'all. Gimme a minute.

Or, possibly, I'd get whiney because no one wanted to do things my way. Possibly.

Note to self: Find tinfoil company. Invest.
