[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.
I LOVED that Ben used the Sox winning the World Series to convince Jack they had outside access (and his skepticism was PERFECT!).
Yes! Absolutely priceless. Jack cracking up was wonderful, and then his expression when Ben turned on the TV was so amazed and homesick and overwhelmed.
Loved Sawyer kissing Kate, too, just for the unexpected factor, but the strawberries reference was the hugest cliche ever.

Although crack=magic would explain a LOT of what's going on. Mostly, the name "Drew Goddard" flashed in my head (after my eyes stopped rolling).
My problem is, I feel like I know enough about the original characters now. Much as I like Sun and Jin, the flashbacks didn't do it for me last night. I *know* they love each other despite their problems. I get it. Get on with the present-day story already.
And yeah, the thing about Ben living there his whole life was a big WTF? He could be lying, of course, but I still want to know how they've got TV (?!) or presumably Internet (all the info they compiled on Jack and Sawyer, etc.) since I doubt FedEx is making regular stops there, and electricity.
The hook for me was Ben repeating, "Yes, why would we want to stay?" That could be interesting. If the writers ever a) figure it out, and b) get on with it.
Heh, my first thought on that scene was, "What is it with the strawberries," but as soon as I thought that, I remembered Kate's breakfast with Ben, so I'm choosing to take it literally (even though I'm pretty sure she had a fish biscuit pre-kiss).
The Red Sox scene alone bought this show two more episodes of my loyalty, because I'm that easy (just not cheap).
Well, shit. Did not expect that. And here I was thinking Jin was a scary dude.
I still think he's pretty scary. It's not like the non-lethal messages he delivered were all hearts and flowers. Apropos of nothing, DDK has the prettiest bone structure, ever.
I'm still a little confused. Did Sun's boyfriend commit suicide after Jin visited him or did Sun's daddy have a back-up in case Jin didn't follow through? Thoughts?
I'm going to cast my kittens on being intentionally vague, because I was pretty sure he'd jumped and Scott was pretty sure Sun!Daddy had a back-up. That he was holding the pearls does keep me leaning toward it being a suicide, though.
Wait, Jin knows about the affair now?
I couldn't decide about that, either. I mostly think he does not. I think either Sun thinks he might, or Sun's "My husband knows I betrayed him," was only about her conspiring with Sayid, but meant to sound a little misleading to the audience.
(People may be sick of Jack -- but he's still very very cute when he laughs.)
I am not sick of Jack. He might be my favorite character (it's a toss up between him, Sayid, and Sun; and Ben/Henry Gale is lovable in that love-to-hate way).
I miss the non-Other others, particularly Eko, and Locke.
Is it me, or they concentrating on less characters per episode now? I suppose it's good for the actors, as it means less time on set.

Yes, but that means more time for drunk driving in Hawaii.
Snerk. I'm laughing in the office, this will get me into trouble.
Well, they have the original characters spread all over that island.
Yes, but that means more time for drunk driving in Hawaii.ABC should re-negotiate all their contracts, give them enough of an increase to pay for a driver and car 24/7, and in the new contracts, require them never to drive themselves, for the duration of the series.
Or keep killing them off. Please.
