I like Kate except when she's engaged in the ridiculous push/pull flirtation-rejection thing with Jack, or staring pensively out over the ocean. She's sold me well enough on being dangerous, though I think the writers have fallen down badly on that score in episodes like the one where Ethan was killed and Kate was absolutely ineffectual.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm with you, Wolfram; this close to being over it. Lostzilla ought to show up and eat some folks. The cast has gotten too large, and having the main cast split up like this is not working, either. There's not enough time to give everybody a slice of the 46 minutes and still move the plot, and too much of our 46 minutes is being taken up, not only with unnecessary flashbacks, but with these new people that we don't give a damn about. Echo and FightGirl are pretty, but there's plenty of pretty on the beach that I'm at least a little invested in.
Something's gotta happen soon. This vague sense of menace needs to start having a payoff.
And the first thing my friend and I both said when Jin stumbled over the dead body was, "Well, they're not cannibals." Which was rather disappointing.

Art Crawl!!!
Well, the writers have apparently decided that it's not Jack for Kate, but Sawyer.
At least, that's what I got out of Kate's part of the message bottle scene this week.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
How many episodes into the season are we?

But really, the first three were all just repeats of each other, over and over. So there have only been three episodes. The hatch episode (from way too many perspectives), the Hurley ep, and the Sun/Jin episode.
And still nothing has happened.

I'll bet we can expect 2-4 more eps with flashbacks that don't give us new information. I wonder if they've thought about diminishing returns with all this emphasis on catering to new viewers.

I think something's gonna happen the 2 Lost eps of November sweeps.

I just hope Bernard and Rose live to be reunited. They need a normal couple on the Island.
That is if Bernard doesn't go evil.

I expect that something will happen during the sweeps episodes, but instead of some answers or new information, they'll probably just kill someone.
