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.

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.

He's looted and hoarded cigarettes.

Any smoker would do the same.

None of those are felony crimes.

Well...I think shooting a US Marshall in the chest with the intent to kill him is probably a felony.

But still. Dimples.

So nobody else is confused about why Sun's father's watch was on the plane?

Huh.

Boone's the sneaky little sod I'd watch, though. I don't think he's on the side of good.

Nooooo! He's just misguided, is all. A little full of himself, sure. Also, really kind of disturbingly pretty. Um.

Well...I think shooting a US Marshall in the chest with the intent to kill him is probably a felony.

But Jack actually killed him. We think.

I don't think SunDaddy was on the plane, because both Sun and Jin would be in mourning, formally, if not wholeheartedly. Perhaps he'd given the watch to Jin as a thank you for doing those tedious little tasks that he wouldn't entrust to just any underling?

So nobody else is confused about why Sun's father's watch was on the plane?

I was definitely confused, but it ran into my whole "what a weird plot device" wonder and awe.

Yeah, WTF is up with that?
