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.
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.
It's nice that Kate thinks that she is in love with Sawyer too. . .
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.
So that's a no, right?
Right.
It's nice that Kate thinks that she is in love with Sawyer too. . .
Yes, it's nice they have crushes on each other.
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.
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.
