Glad we weren't the only ones, Cashmere.

I wonder if Jack will think that Boone was talking about a different plane, or just flashing back to their own crash.

That would be reasonable. Jack leaping from Locke is hiding something to Locke killed Boone is also reasonable.

The death makes it a wide open field for major character personality shifts for many of the core group. Crap, I really want to discuss, but work calls, loudly.

On Locke v. Jack -- Locke's obscurantism is biting him on the ass, as it should. If he'd been more forthcoming all along, okay, everybody would have known he was a nut long ago, but there would have been far less reason for anyone to suspect him of hinkiness. Because of his omittive lies, statements of the truth ring vaguely false from him.

Although why someone would throw his minion off a cliff and then carry him all the way back to camp, I don't know -- Jack will need to logic that one out at some point.

On Boone's leg v. falling door -- isn't that the exact WRONG way to amputate a limb? I am thinking, especially on leg amputations, you do it at the joint, and cut through tendons between the bones, rather than risk a messy crush and bone fragments everywhere. Also, I would think it much easier to stop the bleeding if you wield a small, sharp scalpel than if you just chop all the blood vessels at once.

I mean, clearly, a desperation move on Jack's part as he knew Boone was dying, but -- it was a bit much.

Love Sun and Jin and their awkwardness. Not as much a fan of the miraculously clean, no-recovery birth, but whatev.

I'd imagined, but didn't see if, they'd attached some sort of blade to the door. Or done a lot of sharpening. Otherwise it's not cutting anything firmer than butter, really. Didn't they test on a log?

I'd wanted someone to come barrelling in -- Hurley, maybe, and bump into it so it fell and sliced off..well, anything would be fine, off most anyone there.

Cleolinda's recap.

Poor Boone. He's all laid up dying from smush, and it's still all about Jack.

(So... wait. Sawyer's got an STD and Jack is [or was?] married. I think Kate's playing field just got a lot smaller...)

Here come Shannon and Sayid, laughing, arms around each other, back from their romantic night of... getting to second base, I guess.

Also, not alone because I kept saying--"There's a plane full of opiates out there!!!"

Yeah, but Boone was the only one who knew it, and he wasn't exactly in a condition to give directions.

Were we the only ones to yell "Dave! MOOOOOOOO" at the screen during that first tying the bow tie scene?

Historically, when you don't have anesthesia, you do amputations as quickly as possible because otherwise the patient goes into shock and dies. Saws rather than guillotines were the usual method, but Jack didn't have a saw.

And like a bunch of other people, I liked the on-island story and liked the backstory, but thought they didn't fit together very well. It's not very clear why Jack would be thinking about his wife in this situation. Unless he was in love with Boone, which I don't think they meant to imply, somehow.

Yeah, but Boone was the only one who knew it, and he wasn't exactly in a condition to give directions.

Between the trail of Boone's blood and Charlie's ability to sniff out junk (postulated entirely by me, but I have faith it's there), I think they'd find it if they started looking.

Sawyer's got an STD and Jack is [or was?] married. I think Kate's playing field just got a lot smaller...

Sawyer had an STD -- they didn't say if he still did. Jack doesn't seem to be letting his (former?) marriage stop him pining.

Kate's okay. Well, it's Shannon she should off, but still.

I take back what I said about Kate being hard. She wasn't cold-blooded at all tonight. She was just as squeamish as anyone not named Jin or Jack.
