It surprised me that no one mentioned the fact that a plane *had* flown over, to drop the food, so it's clear *someone* knows they're there (or at least knows that someone is on the island). Yet, no rescue. I thought that would have occurred to Bernard.

I don't think they were against the idea, so much as the huge amount of work involved. Especially with him saying "You guys go haul these heavy rocks half a mile while I trace these letters in the sand."

ETA: Nora, you're right. Sayid and Charlie were working on something together when Ana Lucia recruited them to go look for the baloon. It wasn't mentioned what and we haven't seen any work on it since.

Plus Rose really did undermine him. Most of them know her better than they know Bernard and if she was going to walk away, then that would likely put doubt in their mind. Add the heavy labor and ta-da...

And a HUGE kudos to both actors for being able to pull off a Jin/Bernard scene without making me shout OMGGAVINANDHOLLANDARETALKINGTOEACHOTHER!!)

Heh. That didn't ping me either. But DDK has totally become Jin to me now.

Oh, that never pinged me either until right now, and I think it's because of what Amy said.

Occasionally, when Bernard is looking really grubby and unfit, I compare him to my mental image of Holland, and when he was flashing back to meeting Rose, he looked more Hollandy (which made me happy). But I never give one thought to DDK being Gavin, any more.

Was I seeing things or did a kid run through Jack and Kate's campsite just before Michael showed up? I didn't have time to rewatch yet.

It was a fun ep. When Scorpy..er..Isaac said he couldn't heal Rose, I knew that the Island Mojo was going to pop up. Plus Rose knows that Locke was in a wheelchair and yet never said anything about it. She's very good at keeping things close to the vest. I was very surprised to see that she and Bernard are newlyweds. And Hurley doing shadow puppets was so cute!

As soon as Isaac started talking about "magnetism" and "energies," I knew he wasn't going to heal her, but let the island do it. If it did. I'm wondering if Rose's conviction that the cancer is gone isn't an extrapolation of Locke's healing, and might just be an illusion. Of course, Sun's pregnancy is a reality, so Rose could very well be cancer-free.

Was Sawyer spending his time reassembling his campsite while talking to Jack, after it was destroyed during the Hurley fight last week?

He definitely was while talking to Bernard. I can't remember him doing anything while talking to Jack.

Flight 815 crashed before there was Google Earth, I guess.

So, Sawyer squishes helpless little tree frogs, but feeds Vincent his own food? I like that they're keeping him unbalanced. Not completely bad, just bad when he could be helpful.

I think a lot more of me than I'm comfortable with is like Sawyer.

He feeds Vincent when he's alone, and squishes tree frogs in front of an audience.

I laughed and laughed at the part, considering before that it was nothing but couples being cute in the montage. Poor Sawyer, the only one who still likes him is the dog.
