I think Sayid was infatuated with her, and that he is really mourning what might have been.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

I thought the horse was for Kate what the boar was for Sawyer. Which makes me wonder who the polar bears are for.
Hopefully someone one the plane used to blow up his transformers with firecrakers, and that is the secret of invisamechasaurus.

And I still don't believe that Sayid loved her.
They were on the island a total of 48 days when she was shot? How long after they crashed did the two of them start to show interest?
Which is to say, I agree with you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you believe Sawyer's in love with Kate?

I thought maybe it was the horse that caused the accident.
Yeah, sorry, I was being unclear. I agree that the horse on the island is meant to be the horse that caused the accident (or some sort of representation/astral projection/thingy of same). But the horse that caused the accident also came out of nowhere, and then hung around long enough to guide Kate in the right direction, so... what's the deal? Was it just a regular horse that happened to cause the accident, or was it something more?
I think Sayid was infatuated with her, and that he is really mourning what might have been.
Sadly, now he'll be too torn up about it to get with anyone else on the island.

Do you believe Sawyer's in love with Kate?
I do not. In fact, I assumed that he was murmuring about someone/something else entirely, and Jack just jumped to the conclusion he was talking about Kate.

People who are infatuated with someone often believe that they are in love. That doesn't make it so.
But I think we're headed toward a semantic discussion of "What Is Love", and I don't particularly want to go there. Just accept that I Am Right, OK?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
And I still don't believe that Sayid loved her.
Not a bit. Though a lot of that is the fact that I found Shannon an intolerably dull character.
I think Sawyer could be "in love with" Kate, which is different than loving her. But I also think he was muttering about someone else when Jack heard him.

Do you believe Sawyer's in love with Kate?
It's possible, but it's a totally different situation, IMO. First of all, he doesn't have a long and tragic backstory that involves being in love with another woman, for whose sake he deserts the army and travels all over the world looking for her; for another thing, Sawyer and Kate have a lot more chemistry, and a lot more in common, than Sayid and Shannon.

Anyone want to bet the horse's name is Desmond?
I was very underwhelmed by the missing bit of film, and I would have thought Locke's immediate reaction, given his faith in pushing the button, would be to get Michael to stop playing around with the computer rather than exchange knowing yet enigmatic looks with Eko.
