I thought it was pretty clear that Jin couldn't deliver the baby, and that Charlie couldn't deliver the baby, and that Kate was already there. I might have thought about sending Sun -- she strikes me as the only one with any qualifications who's a regular. But it was a good thing she was with Jack in the end.

As a family member I wouldn't think it weird to be told someone's last thoughts were of me. Especially if it were true.

Wouldn't any non-doctor guy be too busy wincing and crossing his legs to be any help?

Moreso than a woman who's never had kids?

Having a vagina does not automatically make one an expert in getting a baby out of someone else's, is all I'm sayin'.

Okay, this makes me laugh.

Jif Peanut Butter sent us a giftpack for auction, as did Hansen's, who make "Lost" energy drink.

I just clap my hands and smile. That's just so much fun.

No, but it does make the whole staring at a vagina thing marginally less ... confused.

Don't people tend to default to the female because birth involves a lot of goolie inspecting?

The only person I've ever known who passed out looking at birth photos was female. But, I bet that men have a lesser baseline for "yes, popping a crenshaw melon out a nostril here!" Excepting the exceedingly squeamish of both sexes, most women have more education about what happens at birth than most men do. Notice Charlie was like, "we should boil some water!" which, while a nice step, is useful in an outdoor, no-tools birth only for the making of tea.

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

I'm scratching my head over this reference.

Look at it this way--if YOU had to be naked from the waist down with your legs over someone's shoulders and them staring at the gates of paradise for a long period, and it had to be, say, someone you worked with, would you randomly choose a guy or another female?

Moreso than a woman who's never had kids?

I meant with regard to the testicular problem, not the birthing. Just channel surfing past America's Funniest Home Videos makes me flinch if I hit the ubiquitous baseball to the crotch scenes.

If I were in labor, I'd want whoever had the highest probability of delivering my baby alive with all limbs intact. I really wouldn't care if they were male or female.

The guy who was Jack's best man played Titus' brother Dave on the late lamented Titus. I don't think I can explain the cow thing succintly.
