I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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.

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

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Was it just a regular horse that happened to cause the accident, or was it something more?

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

People who are infatuated with someone often believe that they are in love. That doesn't make it so.

So that's a no, right?

It's nice that Kate thinks that she is in love with Sawyer too. . .

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I loved the bit where Sawyer was convinced they'd been rescued, and wouldn't believe it until Kate actually showed him the jungle.

How did I forget that? I loved that too -- he was so happy.

Right.

Yes, it's nice they have crushes on each other.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have no real opinions about who's in love with who (except Sayid patently wasn't in love with Shannon. Puh-leeze), and am more interested in the 48 days is too soon for love prohibition. But, as you say, neverending discussion failing to codify "love" follows right after that.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'll have to go back and rewatch tonight--someone over at WX posted that they saw elsewhere on the Internets that Sayid was on the TV during Kate's visit to her military recruiting dad.
