I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Yeah, but they seem to be showing her as DelayedEmotionsGirl.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

So Jack is like Clinton, and Ana Lucia is like Dubya?

Now tagless for your comfort.

So Jack is like Clinton, and Ana Lucia is like Dubya?

Yes. I was definitely comparing Ana Lucia to Shrub in my head.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

When Kate motored off and they showed the house facade for a beat too long afterwards, I immediately thought "Oh come on, they're not actually gonna—" KA-BLOOEY!!!

I am glad that her murder was a coldly premeditated one, and that her espoused reason for it was crazy resentment/overidentification rather than just mom-protection.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I've decided that Evangeline Lilly is just a hell of a sceen-kisser, because I am firmly in Jack/Kate = no chemistry camp yet that kiss was HOTT. (Not as hot as the Sawyer/Kate kiss, but still hot.) It's not just the kiss itself, but the motivation behind it--that Kate was trying to force her attraction to Jack in this messed-up self-loathing/Oedipal way in which she made Jack stand in place of her father, a good man whose perceived decency couldn't sway her mother's fascination with the wreck that was Wayne (= Sawyer.) All that psychological baggage and the wrongness of its all made that kiss a lot more interesting than it would have been, had it occurred while they were randomly flirting on the beach or something.

Despite sort-of-predictable back story, this is the most I've liked Kate in a long time

Seconding Matt's gladness over the cold-bloodedness of Kate's actions.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Despite sort-of-predictable back story, this is the most I've liked Kate in a long time

I agree, even if I didn't find the Kate/Jack kiss hot. I found it awkward and random, and was pleased to find out that that's because it was awkward and random.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

because right now I'm digging the mysterious silent thing he's got going.

Heh. JZ and I started laughing after the Eko/Locke scene with the new film. And started MST3King over their dueling enigma-off.

"Oh you think you're inscrutable. You don't even know the depths of my enimagmatic plumbless depths! Did I say depth twice? I raise my eyebrow at you!"

"You only think you know that I don't know the dark secret lurking behind your mysterious silence, my friend. I've known all along that you know that I know that you had the film. Do you think it was just a coincidence?"

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

OK, so what was the deal with the horse? It seemed just as random in the flashback as on the island.

Nora, I like your theory about Locke not actually hitting the button in time. I've been assuming that there would be some kind of major event if it weren't pushed (loud noises, something involving the blast doors, etc.), but maybe it's not designed that way.

Agreed on the awkwardness of the Jack/Kate kiss, and I liked that it was meant to be that way.

In the scene in the bus station, when the guy behind Kate starts talking to her about Tallahassee, did anyone else think that he looked like Wayne for a second, when she first turns around and looks at him?

Also, poor dead Shannon. Her funeral didn't even rate a musical montage. And I still don't believe that Sayid loved her.

OK, so what was the deal with the horse? It seemed just as random in the flashback as on the island.

I thought maybe it was the horse that caused the accident.

Although being the girl I am, I thought "Oooooh, pretty horse."
