Locke didn't destroy the statues. I find that odd. I suppose he could be keeping them for their medicinal value, but I doubt it, somehow.

Yes, likely for another Charlie whinge-fest.

2 excellent things that happened in this episode:

1) Eko's response to why he was marking the trees : "these are the ones I like." I don't know what he's up to, but I still loves him. Even with all the baptism stuff.

2) Charlie gets punched THREE TIMES! ANd then a needle in his face! And many, many people told him to shut it.

So, yeah, Jack ep last week, Charlie ep this week, excuse me while I...

t yawn t scratch myself in a bored fashion @@

At least stuff HAPPENED on the island in last week's episode between the flashback reminders of "gee, think Jack's got a God complex/control issues?"

Locke's step up in violent badassery both in words and action was interesting. He was sort of boring me for a while there, too. Not because his actions were subtle, but because he was pretty blank for a while.

If Charlie went off the deep end and kind of evil, then that could be better than his constant whining.

Yeah, so did anything HAPPEN? Were the hallucinations heroin-induced or island-induced? Did they mean ANYTHING? (besides the opportunity for Christian theologizin') Was Charlie using? Did....zzzzzzzzzzzzz

t wakes up with a start

Oh, Ana-Lucia? If you ever make Jack say "hittin' that" AGAIN I will die trying to kick your ass.

I'm just hoping that now that we have Jack and Charlie back stories out of theway for now, maybe some other, more interesting characters might be highlighted. For a few weeks anyway.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I am so done with Charlie, I don't know what to do.

1) Eko's response to why he was marking the trees : "these are the ones I like." I don't know what he's up to, but I still loves him. Even with all the baptism stuff.

That, to me, was the saddest thing about the fire -- it destroyed all those trees.

Damn skippy!

That, to me, was the saddest thing about the fire -- it destroyed all those trees.

Oh man, I hadn't even pinged that, I was too busy screaming at how stupid Charlie was being setting the fire in the first place (I was praying it was a misdirect and one of the Others - or the other Others - did it). He's lucky Eko didn't step up and punch him a few times himself (or that the whole group didn't line up a la the hysterical woman scene in AIRPLANE).

That, to me, was the saddest thing about the fire -- it destroyed all those trees.

Aw, man, Jessica made me have an emotion about the episode. I hope you're happy!

(I hadn't thought of that before, was too bogged down in the eye-rolling. But it is sad.)

HA! X-post. Waves at Nora

What's shaking?

I have to ahem it to watch it again. I thought the fire was in the brush, off to the one side of the camp. I didn't think it was where Eko was marking trees.

Huh.

ETA; Words for sense-making

Gee, I think I'm really in the minority here--I liked the ep! Sure, nothing advanced the story arc, but I thought it was more of a character study of Charlie, who I didn't mind for his whining this time around (I hated the last Charlie-centric ep, with him ripping off the copier guy's daughter).

If Charlie went off the deep end and kind of evil, then that could be better than his constant whining.

I'm hoping that this is exactly where they're going with him. I've thought all along that his utter neediness gives him great potential as a character, potential that so far the writers have ignored by shunting him off into potential fatherhood with Claire. I'd really like it if now he's burned that bridge and can chart some new territory elsewhere.

I did love the dream imagery, especially Hurley in Jesus robes--hee!

If Charlie went off the deep end and kind of evil, then that could be better than his constant whining.

Hopefully he'll be more the Gary Oldman Dr. Smith, rather than the Jonathan Harris portrayal.

If he goes evil, I doubt it will be in a leadership capacity. I see him in more of a weasely sidekick role. Charlie & the Brain, perhaps?

Of course, he's kind of screwed now that Locke has so visibly kicked him to the curb. The boy needs someone's boots to lick, pronto.
