I was thinking that, too, about Locke's dad -- having him be an older con man is just too coincidental otherwise.
Also, I love Jack, too. I know he can be a tool and he's smug, but Matthew Fox's body smile wins me over every time.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Pretty sure Sawyer's real dad killed his mom when he found out she was cheating, and then killed himself. But I could be wrong.
Yeah, that sounds about right. Then who's the real Sawyer? The man his mom was cheating with?

I think that's it.

I believe the real Sawyer was running on con on his mom, sleeping with her and scamming her out of money like our Sawyer has been known to do, only it backfired in a murder/suicide kind of way.
This is making me have a Scrubs moment.

"Hey, Sawyer #2."

What is even happening?
The Real!Sawyer is the con man that Sawyer's mom was cheating with. Sawyer's dad killed Sawyer's mom. Sawyer took Real!Sawyer's name, as part of his vendetta/psychosis/grifter-life/whatchoomacallit.

And, of course, we don't know for sure if Real!Sawyer's real name is actually Sawyer!

Our wings are not tired.
Well, Real!Sawyer's real name would be Anthony.
I just love Anti!Henry. Ooops, busted.
I'm still foggy on the whole lockdown sitch. I know I was tired when I watched, but it was quite unclear what caused it to happen and what made it stop. Perhaps I need to rewatch when more alert.

I'm thinking someone over at TWoP probably has deciphered at least a few words from the pre-lockdown intercom warning.

Despite telling Locke he was stupid every thirty seconds or so throughout the episode, I actually liked it, though I'm frustrated by all the questions it raised. It's like they can sense when I'm about to stop watching the show.
What triggered the lockdown? Random malfunction? A certain number of revolutions on the exercise bike? (EW's theory about hiding the food drop from the hatch occupants is plausible, though where does the food get dropped from?) The hatch map is very intriguing, and I want to email off all the Latin for translation to a Latin-teacher friend... ("hic sunt dracones"="here are (were?) dragons"? Sursum corda=lift up your heart)
Not!Henry sure did a crappy job of trying to ingratiate himself with his captors, if you ask me. also? Just because he can draw a map to a balloon doesn't mean it's his; it just means he knows where it is.
Did Not!Henry push the button or not? I was all excited to see what happens when they don't push it, but considering they didn't show anything, we'll probably be seeing the whole scene from a different point of view later.
I loved Hurley's snark about "the loop". Hee. Also Kate's comment about getting out a ruler, as I was thinking that very thing.

My daughter (14 y.o) and I were talking about the lockdown/food drop. My daughter posits that the lockdown coincides with a food drop and that maybe they lockdown to prevent anyone from flagging down the plane - except none of the people on the beach heard a plane (and neither did the audience) so that may shoot that theory outta the water already.
I love that Not!Henry totally underestimated Sayid's obession with proving who he really is (and that he wasn't wrong to not feel guilty about beating the shit outta Not!Henry)
I had to explain why I was laughing so hard at Kate's ruler line to the daughter...
I'm loving the thought that Locke's dad is the real Sawyer. It would make sense.
