I wonder which thing John was supposed to pick.

Batmanuel (sorry, can't remember his LOST name to save my life) definitely looked psyched when he was looking at the book, but I couldn't quite make out what it said.

Also - I'm looking for mercenary asshole to die a screaming, painful death.

The comic said something about a lost world.

I have no fucking idea what's going on with Batmanuel, but I still love him.

Also, WTF Claire?

I'm guessing that cabin!Claire is dead?

And Batmanuel confuses me. I can't decide if he's immortal or a time-traveler.

And the whole doctor with the slit throat/time rift thingy makes me think that "moving the island" means moving the island in *time.*

(Or was that obvious to everyone right away? Everyone other than me, that is?)

So, is Claire dead, based on her presence along with the dead Christian Shepherd and both acting out of character? I'm thinking so: "I'm with him."

Oh Captain my captain, we barely knew ye, but you were hot and I liked you and am happy that you turned out to be a decent bloke.

Keamy and his lockjaw really REALLY bug me.

Keamy and his lockjaw really REALLY bug me.

I've really liked the actor in other things. This, not so much. And he's gotten scary bulgy.

Kevin Durand is so amazing in that he can go from puppy-dog huggable to insane huggable to insane stabby-in-the-face. I prefer him when he's huggable. Keamy can Die Die Die.

And he's gotten scary bulgy

dude used to be fricking RIPPED and HUGE, now he's just huge.

Is Keamy merc guy? Because, yeah, I echo Juliebird's sentiments on him die die die-ing. Hopefully screaming and bloody and possibly with a commercial break prolonging it. Paul McCrane's death in Robocop would be too good for the character.

Wow - I guess that kind of asshole character really pushes some buttons with me.

Also, I just realized that between Robocop, ER and 24, Paul McCrane may have had more horrible things happen to his characters than any actor I can think of offhand.

So, "what?" Slit throat doctor is like, what, a week ahead floating to the island but helicopter flies over with no time alteration? I have so much trouble keeping time straight with this show!!!!

And what was that strapped to Keamy?

Frank, yeah, Keamy's the merc (I had to look him up to be sure myself).

Most likely, erin, the doctor's body floated around, drifting about, and not in the safe and specific course that the helicoptor has been taking back and forth. So I guess he floated into the future?

My only guess on the device on Keamy is that, where it looked like it was near an artery, that maybe it was some bomb or a trigger for a bomb in case he died? Otherwise it seems that he expected the captain to fear his sporty iPod.
