This Lost fic is very much worth reading, especially if you're in the mood for the funny.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I was familiar with "Get Up Stand Up," "I Shot the Sheriff," and "Stir It Up" as Marley's but have to admit that my first thought upon hearing his name is always that "One Life" song thanks to all the Jamaican tourism advertising.

One Love
I think whatever their backgrounds, Michael looks at Sawyer at this point as someone with whom he has absolutely nothing in common, and that's why the Marley pinged him so.
Also, in humming through the words to Redemption Song (yup, still know them all), I figured out a line I'd been mishearing forever. Threads collide!

Herding cats for fun
Say, does anybody know if Cleolinda will ever recap those last few episodes? I miss the funny.

I think she said the other day she was going to try, but no promises.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Obviously we're not doing enough advertising, or Matt would have gotten the song title right. I'd better make some calls.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
You people! You have forced me to dig out all my reggae cassettes! That's right, I said cassettes! They're at least 10 years old, and probably more like 15. But now I have to listen to Bob Marley and the Wailers, thanks to all y'all!

Redemption Song is totally my favourite Bob Marley song. The version off of Uprising, though, not the one from Songs of Freedom (which is a live version with audience noises).
So, obviously, I have no choice but to love Sawyer forever.
I think the song fit with the episode brilliantly on a number of levels, but if we stick to the title, it's the perfect theme song for Lost, since that's what they keep doing -- redeeming, and redeeming, and redeeming. And not always for the good.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So, obviously, I have no choice but to love Sawyer forever.
You have a very hard life.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
You have forced me to dig out all my reggae cassettes! That's right, I said cassettes!
I looked for mine, too. I seem to have lost them in a move. My Marley is missing.
