Singing the girl part
What a sweet episode. Not a lot of drama, just people hanging out, as Keith said. My Matt Saracen crush grows by leaps and bounds, as he obviously has the nicest smile in the world. I think Keith missed an important moment - if there's any question as to whether Saracen and Julie went all the

Gosh, I wish I wasn't a day late in watching this episode. So much interesting conversation. Ok, here's what bugs me (sort of). According to Mrs. Hawking, the island is "always" moving. I think we can assume that means it moves from place to place, in an apparently random fashion, not that it is continuously

I don't know anything about air travel and such, but it seems like Kate, at least, would need to be under a different name, since she is legally not allowed to leave California. I would think her passport would have been seized at that time.

If I was Kate, I would never let anyone put handcuffs on me, ever, for any reason. I would be a very boring sexual partner.

I don't mean that they are insignificant to the show, just that they don't get no island respect.

Heh. Sometimes. That's comedy.

I had the same reaction, then was extremely relieved to see a page 2. Rumble Fish, Rumble Fish, Rumble Fish. That's really all the Mickey Rourke I need (although I like some of these other movies). He's the prototype for all the troubled, distant grown-up boys I find so frustratingly attractive.

Unless Jakob is Jakob Dylan, and the daddy issues are worse than we ever imagined.

I think Christian would fit better than Kate.

Didn't it sound like Sun was kidnapping Aaron during that phone call to Ji-Yeon? "I've got a friend for you…" I wonder if that will ever be discussed.

I actually thought it was going to be Ben, pre-Purge, and that was how they were going to keep Emerson a major presence on an island he can't come back to. This was also cool.

I really liked the scenes of Kate, Jack and Hurley reacclimating - possibly because I've been watching the whole run simultaneously with the new season (I'm about halfway through season 3). It's easy to take for granted how capable they all became (well, maybe not all of them). Just seeing Jack with his shiny new

"You guys got any milk?"

Have we considered the possibility that the island is actually Guam? I mean, have any of you ever seen Guam? Do you know anyone from Guam?

You know, the island is kind of a No Girlz Allowed kind of place, when it comes to Chosen Ones. As possible people of importance to the island, we have Jacob, Charles Widmore, Christian Shepherd, John Locke, Ben Linus, Richard Alpert, Jack Shepherd (maybe), Eko, Walt, and Aaron. There's not one Chosen Woman? Ever?

Stargirl, you mean the flight's actual final destination was supposed to be Baghdad? Cause I could not figure out why Sayid would be taken to Guam in handcuffs.

Old Folk's Magic Show, hit single, My Father Wasn't Worth Good Shoes.

I loved, loved, loved this episode - but I agree that the Mrs. Hawking sequence was the weakest. I was fairly concerned, actually, that this was just going to be bad, but then they settled into the slow telling of Jack's story, getting from Point A to Point A. Most of this episode was in the unseen - the stories of

I didn't really get a successful vibe off Ben when he made that call, but it's possible he could still be running from Des.

I'm pretty sure Hawking says that the equations are meant to locate the island in time. Which is very ambiguous, I think, and definitely doesn't preclude the island doing its normal travel through space. Regardless of whether the island usually moves through time normally, you would still have to find it "in time"
