If there's enough wind to sail by, the clouds are not going to be a good navigation aid.

Not that it turned out to matter, but still.

I am assuming that some kind of teevee magic will save Michael, Jin, and Sawyer. Why didn't they take someone expendable, like Scott?

Kate will more likely have Locke's back than Jack's. If I were Kate I would have Jack on my lying sack of shit list.

If it's a choice between "I'll-make-the-decisions-around-here- because-I-don't-trust-you-but-support-me-anyway"-boy and crazy island worshipper? I'd have my own damn back, thankyouverymuch.

I was thinking he picked the cloud for an easy mark in the right general directon until something changed, the sun was on the wrong side or Walt lost interest.

They have floating bits to cling to and it is likely the tide will steer them back to the island. I want Walt back though!! I was really enjoying his character. The scene where he jumps back after Locke touched him (last week) was lovely.

The ladder to nowhere was somewhat of a let down. I would rather they didn't show the contents at all.

True that Kate most likely looks out first for her own back. A good plan.

But then who would comfort Tracy?

The thing that bothered me the most? Dynamite was pretty much invented AFTER there were no slave ships, much less pirate-y looking ships, afloat. (Technicaly 1863 by Nobel, but it wouldn't have been available in nicely stencilled "EXPLOSIVES" crates until a while after.)

Between Lost and Alias, this is definitely "JJ is a meanie" night.

and so it should be

Kate will more likely have Locke's back than Jack's. If I were Kate I would have Jack on my lying sack of shit list.

Yeah well it isn't like Kate tells the truth all the time either.
