P-C -

have we seen the monster and Vincent in the same space?

Not that I know of. There's a reason why his TWoP nickname is the Shifty-Eyed Dog of Doom.

Wouldn't it be funny if they both secretly knew English.

I can't decide. It would make sense for him to need English for his job (granted, I'm basing this on the fact that there's a scene in Infernal Affairs where the Triad guy talks to a Thai mob guy, and they speak English to each other), but on the other hand, it would be nice if her English skills made him the dependent one for a change.

I'm glad they split up Kate and Jack.

Oh, sorry for my confusion Cashmere. I didn't mean to make you say something you didn't.

No worries. I may not have been clear.

I think he knows that the island is mystical and will give things back because he thinks it's true, aka, he made it up.

Mmm...or maybe he's more into the whole power of suggestion thing so he's picking up on it better? Or he's making it up. He does seem to dwell in his own reality a lot.

The people we didn't see: I agree Claire would be headed for the cave, and Shannon and Boone would like to stay on the beach. I wonder what happened to Rose?

Poor Sun. The airport scene broke my heart. What a marvellously expressive actress.

Oh, look! It's almost the complete eclipse right now. The moon looks like a drop of blood. Oooooh.

Dude, they've totally never had previouslies before. They go straight to the eye shot.

Pilot, part 2 had previouslies. You could argue that it was just half of one episode and therefore doesn't count, but it still had previouslies.

Vincent was in one shot this episode, playing fetch on the beach with Walt.

I'm with the people who think Claire would choose the cave and Boone and Shannon the beach (Shannon needs to tan, after all!).

Plus, fish? Totally slimming, whereas pork goes right to the thighs.

I thought she had an intersting look when Jack said, "we could live here." And then she chose the beach? Mmm....

I'm still crossing my fingers that this was just a sign of accurate gaydar kicking in, and her realization that her odds are better on the beach with Sayid.

Charlie's expression when he saw the guitar got me a tad misty.

I raise my hand at that one. I think it was his expression of pure, overwhelming joy (with tears in his eyes) that almost made ME want to cry (in happiness).

They've never had "official" previouslies before this episode. In the teasers they would show a bit of the episode prior, but never a full recap where they cover more than one episode.

I'm guessing that Shannon's big growing-slightly-less-shallow moment will happen when she realizes they're not being rescued, and moves into the caves.

I'm still crossing my fingers that this was just a sign of accurate gaydar kicking in, and her realization that her odds are better on the beach with Sayid.

I think I like the way you think.
