You know, I don't know. So basically I'm just making shit up.

Or maybe I am.

Dunno, and too tired to rewatch.

Personally I thought this ep kind of blew.. but I am quite tired and cranky in general so may just be my issues. I just feel like nothing much *happened* - and sooo not in the mood for another Kate episode.

I did like Charlie's song, DeadZone!Walt, the mom freakout and at the end when everyone was looking all suspiciously at Kate. About the mom, was anyone else convinced that she was going to do some weird supernatural thing and suddenly grab Kate all Exorcist-like?

*crickets*

Ok, just me then.

My theory about Kate's crime:

In the car, she told Mackenzie that "you know why" she had to leave. I'm guessing Kate's dad/stepdad was abusive in some way, and eventually Kate snapped and offed him, then fled. It would explain what she apologized for putting mama through, and why mama was so scared of her.

Also, after Sun confessed and Jack promised he wouldn't tell the others, was anyone else thinking, "oh, yeah, not telling the others has worked WONDERFULY well so far on this island!" When are these guys going to realize that all these secrets on the island keep coming back around to bite them?

I didn't notice it on the island scenes, but the music on Kate's flashback scenes was SO a pastiche of Bernard Hermmann's (sp?) Hitchcock scores. An especially nice touch for the dye job bit a la MARNIE.

Like the episode a lot. Loved Charlie's song title, and scary-yet-concerned Walt.

Not only was this an episode about discretion, but about coming clean. People still have secrets, but they are slowly revealing things to other people (there were like, what, 3 confession scenes in a row at the end there?).

We caught the last 5 minutes last night and mr. flea said, "How did all these fucked up people end up on the same plane?" I told him all the nice couples made up of accountants and grade-school teachers from wholesome midwestern states were there too, they were just sitting around the campfire on the beach crocheting and got no story time.

Either that, or the front of the plane was the angst class section. The normal people were all in the back.

We also got another speaking character from the pack.

Daniel Roebuck as "Dr Artz" [link]

Some may recall him from "Nash Bridges" or "Matlock," Two shows I recall watching an ep here and there, but never really got into.

Your Kate theory sounds sound Lady 'O. Her friend clearly didn't have issues with her past while her mother was freaked. Of course, I'd prefer a bad to the bone Kate, but misunderstood is more likely.

I have mixed feelings about the death of her friend/ex/radiologist.

In no particular order:

1. He was stupid not to get out of the car.

2. The cop was stupid in firing at the car with a potential hostage in it.

3. Kate was stupid in running the roadblock with former childhood sweetheart in the car.

4. Guard was stupid in not escorting Kate's mom into the lab and securing it.

There are probably more, but I'm going to be late for work if I dwell.
