I didn't think they had switched, I thought they just compared them to see if they were sitting near each other.

Yaay Rose & Bernard. He's such a good actor. He always sells it for me. It was interesting, too, to see how different their personalities were, and how differently they'd reacted to their separation.

About Jack & Ana Lucia, there was the whole 42F comment thing, was that her seat initially or his? Thought it was his, which would mean they did switch, right? Which, huh. Because on that Oceanic seating chart there is no 42f. So maybe I'm misremembering. Will have to rewatch.

No one's commented on Jack's "whisper in the ear technique" crack? 'Cause, hee! Though if they clean up all the pairings so no one is in anyone else's way, that's all like, weird.

I do like Ana Lucia, but that's probably fairly predictable. She's definitely got the toughness and the inner cold that they wish Kate had. Didn't like the pregnancy reveal, but that's probably a personal ish, and I can roll with it.

Also!!! Speaking of going to the bathroom for too long, what the hell was Bernard doing buckled in to a seat next to a passenger, when I thought he was supposed to *be* going to the bathroom? Wasn't that why he and Rose were separated? Wasn't Jack supposed to be watching out for Rose until her husband came back from the bathroom? Surely this is too big an oversight to be an oversight, right? He wouldn't have had time to leave the stall, find a vacant seat and buckle in, right?

Charlie did.

I was wondering the same thing! Only thing I can think of is he sat down in the nearest empty seat when the plane started to bounce around, rather than going all the way back up to the front of the plane.

Charlie did.

Oh yeah, huh?

Also, I find it funny that the tail section people, even with their much more difficult water landing, had fewer (no?) scar inducing injuries, even the pretty Hollywood just over the eye scars. Maybe those with serious injuries all died, because they couldn't swim in and didn't have the miraculous Dr. Jack?

That one guy had the horrible snappy broken leg, but you're right about there being far fewer moderate injuries.

Because on that Oceanic seating chart there is no 42f.

Sure there is. But this was my first time looking at that chart, so maybe it's been altered since you looked at it...?

I haven't been keeping up with this thread, and haven't done much other internetting about the show, so I'm sure this has been noted already: Ethan Rom is an anagram for Other Man. Ooooh!

t edit playing around with that seating chart, I've realized that everyone but me probably already knew this. Sigh.

then why wasn't Jack with the tail section people and Ana with the front/middle people when they landed on the island? I don't remember this switch... strange.

I could be completely wrong in what I thought I saw. I've only seen two episodes, both from this season.
