oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

just saw:

actually , I was interested in the Kate story -- she really seems like someone that has never grown up fromm her abusive background. I am positive she killed someone that was a buseing - and possible hurt more than that person. Maybe she killed a younger sibling to save them. I also suspect that once she killed - she kept killing . But Tom is the person she killed - because she saw him as a person. I don't mind the speculation this is giving me.

Sun is going to blame Kate for Kate's suggestion - Sun seems willing to take responsibility for her own actions.- she is paying the price for them now.

I love that Hurley is the voice of logic and reason " how am I suposed to keep straght who knows what secrets?"

Don't think the raft will get far.

Well, in fairness, the marshall did say waaay back in the beginning that he believed she didn't do it. But even if she didn't do whatever the big fat exciting crime was, she's since robbed a bank, been a fugitive from justice, shot a whole bunch of people, and endangered any number of lives. So the 'supposedly' kind of ceases to matter at that point, I think. She's going to jail, innocent of the big fat exciting crime or not.

I think there is a whole redemption theme going on her - and that is why they are all on the island. So somehow , they all gotta be able to be saved.

She's going to jail, innocent of the big fat exciting crime or not.

So? She's still more a victim than a criminal, and to me, that's boring writing. Isn't there anyone on this island without a tragically sympathetic past?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Maybe Scott and Steve were tax cheats.

Our wings are not tired.

Maybe Scott and Steve were tax cheats.

I got sympathy for that.

So far just Rose, Vincent and Snicker-bitch.

Sawyer's tragic past has been thus far incapable of wringing any sympathy from me, but I get what you're saying. Maybe Shannon? The horribleness in her case seems to be as much a conscious choice as a product of her upbringing.

I can see your point, but I have very little sympathy for the whole "I shoot people because I'm damaged" schtick. Even if they do try and make her out to be a victim in the end, I probably won't be buying what they're trying to sell me, much as I don't buy Kate's "supposedly".

But Shannon and Rose both have tragically sympathetic presents, what with Boone and Rose's husband both being recently dead.

Vincent, though...he's a killing MACHINE! And that science teacher from last night seemed a little bitchy. Maybe there's hope yet.
