We still don't know what Kate's crime(s) were.

Two weeks away from the end of the season, with her supposed badassedness being all tell and no show, not knowing is a problem for me. From what we've seen onscreen, I'm not convinced her backstory's worth waiting for.

Plus, as someone else noted, what did she do that freaked her mom out to see Kate?

Did we discover she had been married, or is my memory faulty?

She said she was, in the "have you ever" game with Sawyer. Of course, she also said she killed someone. I wonder if she meant Tom.

Plus, do we need yet ANOTHER Kate-centric episode? Certainly not this season.

However, it just occurred to me that for the two-hour episode, they might hit everyone's back stories a little. Hmm. Off to the spoiler thread to see if anyone's delineated whose episodes the next few are...

There's also the fact that there was some pretty major league police pursuit almost instantaneously after Kate made a break for it. That says to me that whatever she did in the past was bad enough that they either had a huge stakeout around her mom or the mere mention of her name got the kind of response normally reserved for the Blues Brothers. That coupled with her mother's horrified reaction makes me hope it will still be something good and Bond villain-ish.

Why isn't Sun mad at Kate for suggesting that Sun poison Jin after she found out it also allowed Kate to get a place on the raft that she needed so badly?

I think Sun might be the last person on that island to pass judgement on someone for having an urgent need to run away.

She did say she was married. I assume not to Tom.

I wonder why she called her mom, "Dinah" when she was talking to Tom. Also, who sent her the letter with money to Somebody Hart at some hotel.

But if her backstory is gonna be all lame explanations of why she's not really that bad, I'd rather not know.

She said she was, in the "have you ever" game with Sawyer.

That's what I thought. Ever the optimist I'm going to believe that she has badassness at her core. Sawyer believed her when she said she would be on the boat, and so did I.

Of course, I'd prefer a bad to the bone Kate, but misunderstood is more likely.

I don't want Kate to be a psycho killer, but I did want her to have done genuinely, seriously bad shit. Why can't we have a non-woobieriffic character on the show? Just one?

These express my sentiments, too. For some reason, I really want Kate to have blood on her hands - I guess I'll hold out hope that her original crime will provide that.

I was able to capture the promo, so the breakdown will come tonight. Unfortunately, it didn't look too revealing (but then again, that way it won't be misleading). I did notice that there was no narrator on the promo.

I keep getting psyched out by the promos showing someone getting sick. First Sawyer, then Michael. I keep waiting for that shoe to drop, and they keep holding it back. They are probably holding it back for season 3.

I know people who refer to their parents by their first names. I personally feel "Mom" and "Dad" are titles my parents earned, and use them. My late brother Don apparently felt otherwise, and called them "Don" and "Mary."
