Maybe the real problem is that they're stuck in a Person-featured-in-main-story-must-be-featured-in-backstory rut.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
maybe the writers had her give that foot-stomping talk to offset the rumors?
Except Hurley didn't remember it. She did know he was the last person on the plane, though.
Also, someone on LJ pointed out that she was sitting in the tail section, and he was in the middle of the plane, and wondered how exactly he managed to step on her foot.

Yeah. Combined with the blurting it out with such specificity, that's very suspicious.

It took longer, but it's like the way the fomula on HOUSE got old real quick. They need to change things up a little.
Didn't they do a two-fer in at least one of the episodes? They should do that again, and have Vincent's be one of the stories.
Anyway, people I need never see any more backstory on: Jack, Kate, Jack, Charlie, Michael, Jack, Sawyer, Jack and Jack. This is one show where, hooboy, do I know Jack.
They've done two Hurley's and three Locke's, right? There's still some big pieces missing there for both of them.
Not sure if there's anything left for Jin, Sun, Claire or Sayid that won't feel a bit like wheel-spinning. Yikes, does that leave any non-tailies who's one of the regulars?

Rose! We still have got nothing on either her or Bernard, and I want more!

I'd love to see their story(ies), but they aren't among the main cast (which is what I meant by regulars).

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
One place I thought they were going with the Madness of Charlie was that he was getting island sickness like what may have happened to Danielle's contemporaries.
But I'm not sure that's where they ended up.

Oh, I forgot a couple Catholic quibbles I had.
1) Unless Eko went back after the heroin plane took off and officially became a priest, I don't think he can be baptizing people.
2) I don't think there's any point in being baptized a Catholic unless you actually convert, so I have no idea what that ceremony accomplished except to make Claire feel better. And why would it make her feel better, without some sort of religious foundation? The cinematography was lovely, but the whole scene just irritated me.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Didn't Eko's brother sign a document "officially" making him and his flunky a priest so they could get on the plane in the first place?

Punishingly Intricate

Yeah that's not really how it works. It's a freaking sacrament.
I'm so over this show. I think we are breaking up for real this time. (Although I'll miss the pretty people and the pretty Hawaii.)
