Matt, you might want to edit your first sentence. (Are plot threads that haven't happened yet and never may spoilers?)

I'm still hoping that these turn out to be Amelia Earhart and what's-his-name.

Her partner, Captain Noonan. (I've been earwormed with a folk song about AH and her partner Captain Noonan for 15 years now; I will likely carry his name to my grave, long after I have forgotten my own.)

Loveloveloved the episode. Love Garcia's acting chops. Got all heart-twisty when he clutched at Rousseau and hugged the stuffing out of her. Loved "She says hey." Loved Jack's private, delighted grin. Even loved Charlie's minor dickishness, because it was small and petty and in-character.

And Locke with the cradle was unbelievably sweet and gentle, and yet this is still the guy who handed Sayid a knife and dosed Boone and has a largely unknown agenda. The cognitive dissonance resulting from contemplating Creepy O'Quinn, Birthday Cradle-Maker really shouldn't be as enjoyable to me as it is.

In short, go team Fury! And the other guy.

And the other guy.

Brent Fletcher, who oooh, now I know why the name was familiar. I just watched that commentary. He wrote "Soul Purpose."

I would ordinarily argue that they aren't, if the "not using this storyline" info came directly from staff. But as they were filtered through Wrongda in this case, it's entirely possible that the producers fed her a line and are actually going to use the story after all.

Go, team ME-alums!

With "Walkabout", "Special" and "Numbers" under his belt, I think Fury can probably claim the mantle of best staff writer on the show.

Got all heart-twisty when he clutched at Rousseau and hugged the stuffing out of her.

Me, too. That's the part that made me teary -- when he was just so *relieved* that someone agreed with him.

I'm guessing Sayid forgot to mention that Rousseau was battier than a bedbug. Or he doesn't mind validation from the certifiable, which seems unlikely, given his reactions to Charlie's language.

as they were filtered through Wrongda in this case, it's entirely possible that the producers fed her a line and are actually going to use the story after all.

That's the other factor. (Sorry to play spoiler nanny. I just figure it's better it comes from a spoiler thread person, than that some innocent gets offended, corrupted or both.)

And I've loved all of Fury's episodes.

Obesity puts you in the psych ward

No, but it can be a symptom. Not obesity per se, but eating only sweets is a symptom of schizophrenia (and I stress ONLY--I eat enough chocolate to put some folks in a coma, but I also manage to throw some protein and veggies in there once in a while). A friend who worked at a halfway house for Psych patients said they used to eat incredible amounts of sugary foods--like entire boxes of Captain Crunch amd Pepsi for breakfast and bags of circus peanuts and stuff like that.

I found Charlie really annoying in this episode, but I had all ready been thinking about him. I find him likable,amd sweet, but his isn't real smart. or insightful and somewhat self centered. His panic with Hurly is partially based on the fact that he like him - and up untill this time has been pretty predictable. Also , Charlie is a follower. who likes to know who the leaders are. in this case Syaid and Jack are the leaders, not Hurley.

at the end, I don't think Charlie trust Hurley the way he used to ( sort of unthinking ) and I also think that 156 million dollars is probbably not something he thinks of as a secret.
