Lost 2: Tied to a Tree in a Jungle of Mystery
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
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.
The horse caused the car accident where Kate kicked (the) Marshall out and drove off--at least there was a flash of animal-body in the rain before they ran off the road. I assumed it was the same animal, and I think that's the impression the writers wished to give. May not have been, may just have been a random large dog or deer, and the horse is some sort of symbol for Kate.
Do you believe Sawyer's in love with Kate?
Erm. I think they have an attraction for each other that's largely physical, partly one of recognising self-guilt in the other because they each have their own, likewise a certain shiftiness of moral fiber, plus a genuine desire to do/be "good," and doubt whether or not they can be/do good. Plus, the actors are physically very attuned to each other. It reminds me a lot of the body language on BtVS when SMG and DB were mid-affair. Not that acting can't replicate that, but Holloway and Lilly do seem very simpatico on a purely physical level.
Found on TWoP: Screencap of Sayid on tv.

Later on in that same flashback, Kate gets a good look at the "animal-body", and it's definitely the same horse.
here's the thing for me: I don't think it is possible that any of the survivors thus far could be in love with anyone else they met on the flight (or during the aftermath) because they don't really know each other. How could Sawyer and Kate really be in love when Kate hasn't told Sawyer what she did? Did Sawyer tell Kate what he's been about the last 30 years? His *whole* con man thing?
Shannon & Sayid? Same thing. Hard for me to believe Shannon told Sayid all about herself.
The married couples? Different situation.
