And -- I have a theory. I think that Kate and Sawyer knew each other before the crash. Before the plane trip, period. It was just something about their interaction on the beach, when he asked where she was going to stay -- cave or beach. There was just a vibe. It was vibey.
This would fit with his "I made this birthday wish four years ago" line. Why the fuck would he keep calling her Freckles, though? Well, maybe he called her that before. I've had lots of wild theories about people who might have known each other before, but I can't make it work with how they're acting. You'd think there would be more blatant signs. Like, "Fancy seeing you here! Crashing on an island with me. What are the odds?"
I think Vincent and the polar bear knew each other. Now Vincent is in mourning.
Tep. I marked your post.
Heh. I didn't mean literally, but cool!
Unless, whatever she/they got in trouble for, they were accomplices and now they want to keep the heat off of him.
Whoa, wait, that's a great idea. Especially considering one of the specs is that Sawyer's been in prison. Maybe he got caught, and she didn't.
But wait. In the pilot, she expressed surprise that he was coming on the hike, and he replied, "I'm a complex guy, sweetheart." As if they
didn't
know each other. Aargh.
I think Jin and Sun knew each--oh.
I was just gonna say I did it, and then I thought, "I should do that." So, I did.

Ooh. But why would it matter on the island? I guess, if they think they'll be rescued and brought back to civilization, though, that would fly...
I was a little disappointed that the whole Jin v. Michael thing came down to a watch. It seems, well, lame. Or convenient plot device and flashback trigger. I mean, dude, Michael saw Sun's boobies! Michael and Sun have had actual interaction! But, hey, a watch as a badge of honor for someone... who wasn't on the plane... I, uh... yeah.
Actually... did we see Vincent this episode at all?

And that's another thing. I can see Sawyer wanting off the island ASAP. But Kate has to worry about getting hauled away by the authorities again. I'd think she'd want to disappear into the island and never be found.
And how did he [Locke] pick up on this [the smack] so soon? This is very interesting.
I think it's because he really is a Driveshaft fan and so followed their exploits in the tabloids. There had to be something about Charlie's recreational pursuits in the tabloids.
Was the father of the child on board? Back home? Has she talked about it at all?
Claire made that little "He's a big jerk and I don't want to talk about him and he's never going to be a part of our lives and I've accepted that now" face when she said, "I'm not married" to Charlie.
Did anyone else notice that the characterization was different this episode? Jack was a lot more perky/cheerful, which I can sort of see because he probably got some sleep in the last couple of days (but he said it had been 8 days, and didn't he say 6 when he was yelling at everyone about how he found water and we'd go get it the next morning?), but seemed a little drastic. Kate seemed more dreamy, more relaxed, flirtatious. Charlie was a firecracker, though I'm chalking that up to the smack-tapering-off plan. Locke was dreamier, settled, a little less creepy-creepy and more congenial-creepy. The rest, I didn't notice anything obvious.
I thought she had an intersting look when Jack said, "we could live here." And then she chose the beach? Mmm....
