Wow, for an eventful episode like that, it draaaaaaggggged. We know Jack has letting-go issues, dudes. Saw it in that episode where Charlie played the hangman. And Boone? Not really giving a damn. Talk about low-impact character death.

On the bright side: Jin and Sun rocked. Also, baby = cute. He didn't look very evil, but he's young yet.

She also turned up in the commercial for Jake in Progress.

My husband thanks you, I'll wager, because he was almost positive that was the same actress, but wasn't completely sure.

Heh-worthy line: Sayid: "I had *hopes*, not expectations."

I am BNF, hear me roar. Seriously, last week someone asked me if I was ever a Bronzer.

Really? That's brilliant!

I think the party will help a bit.

Just a bit? 100+ Fans seeing you and your pretty hair up on a big stage with a giant check? You'll probably get stalkers and stuff! *g*

I just got the king of all RSVPs today, in the affirmative, so that's eased my troubled mind.

The King?! JJ is bringing Elvis back from the dead for the Party?! What a wonderful surprise!!!

Troubled mind? Just think, in eleven days it will all be over and you will be basking in the praise and success. :)

(Speaking of RSVPs, remind me next week that I owe you a *bap* for mentioning Andrea's RSVP on that radio show.... Now people know she is going to be there I am getting teased a lot *g*).

That rocked. Watching Alias now and too lazy to undock and move laptop to LR. Love seeing the Alias bad guy so much.

Nora, I'm with you on the almost-amputation -- I just about ran out of the room. As it was, I called my Mom during that commercial break where it seemed like Jack was going to get all choppy-choppy on Boone and said "I can't watch this! See, this is why I almost didn't stick with the show after the first 20 minutes of the first episode! This is too traumatic!"

So Jack's pre-crash timeline is, roughly, Becomes Doctor ---> time elapses such that he develops mad surgery skillz ---> saves Ed's girlfriend's life ---> gets married ---> [indeterminate period of time] ---> rats out Dad for boozing it up and then operating ---> [inderterminate period of time] ---> Mom guilts him into going to Australia to find his Dad.

I'm assuming that the marriage ended in one of those [indeterminate period of time] brackets, though maybe not.

The writers confirmed that the voice on the radio was saying "No, we're the survivors of flight 815," NOT "There were no survivors of 815."

I've been wondering where the invisible mechasaur-epileptic tree-King Kong monster has been -- maybe it's been eating the *other* survivors....

I expected the baby to be born with a forked tongue or cloven hooves or something. Or to, I don't know, eat Jin or something. I was actually a little disappointed that it didn't assume demonic form.

so...no new eps for 4 weeks? Damn.

I loved it when Hurley said "you're looking kinda goth" to Jack.

I had just been thinking that Jack looked convincingly pale and sickly after having donated blood.

I was just thinking this tonight.

Jin and Charlie were so damn cute during the birth scenes (I loved DKD's non-verbal "You REALLY don't want to go over there"). I smell a new romance in the air. Or at least a new slash pairing.

Sun also rocked.

I kinda wish they had taken Jack's savior complex all the way, but part of me is really glad they didn't.
