I think that was a final boarding call for another flight.

Now that I think about it, I think that makes more sense.

I wonder why Jack is being set up as the leader. On the positive side, he's relatively fearless, he will attack a situation with a will and a modicum of care, so that may be why. But dude, how clueless can you be? Kate's all coming on to him and he's all, "blah blah caves, blah blah dig in, blah blah, set up new society, work hard, build empire, make computers and palm pilots out of coconuts and black and white stones."

I do think it's odd that Kate is with the group that's hoping for rescue, since that could potentially lead to her re-arrest. If the marshall was, in fact, a government agent of some sort and she really was under arrest, rather than him being a bounty hunter or PI sent by an ex-husband to fetch her back, or something along those lines. But I get the feeling that she might have wound up with the group at the caves if Jack had responded to her attempts at mild seduction.

And I definitely got the feeling that one of the reasons Sun was in love with Jin was that he could take her away from her father and his business.

did he really believe that he could do "a year of management training and a year in the factory" (or whatever the times actually were, I'm probably remembering the lines wrong) and then get out of the business? Or did he not know what the business really was?

I think it's entirely possible, even probable, that SunDaddy has "a" factory, probably more than one. That he would have started Jin in management training for the factory, and then offered him jobs on the side as a "personal favor," each increasingly brutal and more compromising to Jin's sense of right. It's the way mob bosses operate world over, right?

It's been a while since I've been this impressed with a tv show. All the actors are doing lovely, nuanced work. But they're given wonderful stuff to do, and enough time onscreen to do the text justice. Not only that, but there don't seem to be any dead spots in the cast. Scenes that each of the characters have with O'Quinn, for example--he gives so much back, he's so present in his scenes, even if he doesn't have a line. This show is so richly textured, so layered. I'm wallowing around in it like a pig in mud. Even moreso since it looks like THIS one isn't going to be cancelled. YAY!

When it took so long for Sayid and Sawyer to rush in and rescue Michael, my first thought was, "Bet they were off doing their own rolling around in the sand, but with slightly more sex and slightly less punching."

This is totally Dana's fault.

I am so not the only person thinking it.

I should hate Sawyer, I know. I'm totally powerless against the grin and the dimples.

The actress playing Sun was wonderful last night, although I thought it was one of the weaker episodes so far.

I got the sense that Kate found the cave creepy and she may be claustrophobic. I also think she isn't ready to confront her feelings for Jack - perhaps because he doesn't know all he should about her.

So she runs away from the situation.

I am so not the only person thinking it.

No, you really weren't, especially when Sawyer had the handcuffs in his pocket.

What Dana said.

Totally.

It's true...sigh.

I got a kick out of the fact that Jin used to be a waiter. It explains his going around serving everyone sushi in little cups on a tray in the premire...

Word. It reminds me a fair bit of Firefly, actually, for all those reasons.

Well, she offered weakly in counter against the tide of HoYay, Sawyer is a magpie. He picks up anything that might be shiny or of value, so he'd be the one to have the marshall's handcuffs.

Boone's the sneaky little sod I'd watch, though. I don't think he's on the side of good. I'd expect him to have taken the handcuffs off the dying dude "just in case, y'know."

And really, what has he done? He's looted and hoarded cigarettes. He's been pragmatic and rude. None of those are felony crimes.
