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

I adore the redshirt joke. Those were some fantabulous spoilers, Jess. I can't wait to see the cree-pee opening sequence.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

The other thing I wanted to mention is how much profanity (and ASSCAPS) these scripts have. (As do the Alias scripts, actually.) They can't swear on the show, so they pepper the scene directions with things like "Jack has NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON."* "Claire is REALLY FUCKING SCARED." It's so funny.

[*Obviously, this sentence occurs only in reference to Lost!Jack. SpyDaddy!Jack always knows what's going on.]

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

You must let us know if they every come up with great turns of phrase like "eyefuck" and "schmucking the bait".

Up with the sun

These sound like awesoome episodes. Thanks, jessica!

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Yeah, thanks! I'm reading this at work and I had a hard time refraining from shrieking. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WOULD PLAY WITH US AND ALMOST KILL CHARLIE. (well kill and revive, but still)

I'm assuming this photo is Jack and Kate finding Charlie's body in the tree, but the expression on his face is too too funny.

"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

It would be a non-psycho explanation for that look, which I was unable to come up with prior to the kidnapping revelation.

Though I still like the idea of Jack being the one who's seriously disturbed.

Nah - too easy. You have to have someone you would never suspect that - bam! - reveals he/she is psycho.

"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 think a lot could be mined from everyone finding out that the Messiah figure they're all depending on is actually very undependable. Though the particulars of his second flashback episode make such a revelation extremely unlikely.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I just don't see Jack as a Messiah though. And goodness knows our 45 need a decent doctor - and Jack is trying.

I think Locke is perhaps the one looking for Messianic allegiance at this stage of the game. But it is hard to tell. I find the hints to "Watership Down" and "The Stand" to be very interesting because clearly they aren't going exactly that way, but so far I don't really see any reference to The Stand at all...

Unless, this "sickness" thing takes hold.
