I forgot Hurley--I think he is squarely on Jack's side.

I can see Sawyer being on Kate's side, but I can also see him being on the anti-Jack side, so I think he really is a wildcard.

Do you mean Jack's side for Shannon, Kate, and Michael? I don't see Shannon ever being on Locke's side, even if survival is on the line.

"Never bet against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"

Hmmm....

Has anyone seen the 20/20 segment anywhere to download?

I always like Lost Multimedia for clip sources. Make sure you rightclick save on her video links--she really has very limited bandwidth!

Ah, I was hoping for avi's w/better quality. Something that is done with a method that rhymes with schmittorrent.

Still? better than nothing.

hmm just watched the show. Matt's classmate did a really good job. sadly - the show felt like one of the hyped episodes with no umph behind it. not boreing, but more a lounge on the couch , rather than edge of the seat.

I also saw the show, late. Was glad to see a new ep, but yeah, for most of the comments.

I think the thing about Locke & the bloody shirt is mostly a perception failure. That he sees things as, look, I tried to save him. I heroically dragged him here on my not-altogether-stable legs. I shouldn't have sent him up there, but what with the legs and all, what choice did I have?

He doesn't recognize that everyone else sees him as, hey, murderer, either by passive or active methods. He's miscalculated the effect of the lies, and yes, I'm glad to see them starting to catch up with him.

I think the reveal to Sayid was mostly his last attempt to throw him off his game. That was definitely an info-power struggle going on, and Locke had a card to play, and chose that time to play it.

In other news, I'm going to be able to see this month's eps, but will likely be on the road by the time the finale ends. Blah.

Um, finale is this month, May 25th to be exact. So you might be able to catch it if you're not going til after then.

Nope. Guess I meant, this month's eps up until the finale. At which point I will be leaving.

However, new eps!

Just watched the episode last night, and I have to agree with most of y'all that it wasn't all that exciting. Although, as mentioned, the Sayid/Locke showdown was great. Sayid is the fuckin' man.

Possibly my favorite moment on the show so far was Hurley singing to Baby Turniphead while Dom bounced and rocked him. I always love their scenes together (like the "Dammit! Crap! Crap! Okay, your turn" fishing scene), but that one was particularly awesome.

Matt, your classmate was excellent. One of the best flashback characters and actors we've seen so far, IMO (plus, yeah, hot!).

Does anyone think that maybe Sayid wasn't meant to be on that flight? That maybe he's a factor that whoever's pulling the strings hadn't counted on?

Ooh. Ooh. I like this theory a whole lot.
