I totally thought Sawyer was running over to Jack's hut to ask him what to do about Sayid. I was laughing "it only took one day for Sawyer to need Jack's help!" but it turns out Sawyer just wanted to test out the waters with Kate.

I got the impression Sayid would have contendedly gone on killing for Ben if the names had kept coming. Sayid's shock at being let go made him start hating Ben. I'm with what Sensei said above, break ups breed bitterness.

Yummsh, wasn't Mikhail an Other though, so the jumpsuits wouldn't have the same meaning for them, right?

I've always been ok with Desmond being the only character who can break the rules of time due to his proximity of the EM pulse when the Swan blew up. That essentially unstuck him in time for his whole lifetime, so that's why he can have memories retroactively inserted into his head.

Who the hell are Nikki and Paolo?

I hope you are right, GD, cause if we are entering an era of alternate realities, I fear for the ratings. I'm worried non-nerd civilians will check out if we start dealing with paradoxes and such. If Ben is alive, we don't have to deal with that yet.

What's the rumpus?

I dunno, I think they should use some of the metal names from the yearly review of bad band names.

Annie Waits, Zak and Sara, Still Fighting It… there are tons of good songs on RTS. I think his other solos have gone downhill from there, but each one has about 3 good songs.

Free toy inside! Free toy inside!

George Mason was out and about after he was radiated, so I figure Jack can tough it out too.

I missed the discussion last week, but I'm still amused that Mayer had a great security system with just one thing missing. A peep hole. He could have glanced out to see a dude standing on the front porch with a freaking machine gun!

Hey, Moss has to keep her safe somehow. Locking her up will at least save him the trouble of shooting any more Dubakus.

I thought the same thing, Mike.

The Arrow was pretty bombed out when the Taillies found it in Season 2 (or 3?)

Frankly, I don't think you've speculated enough. Get to work, Tom!

I thought there was still one (at least) polar bear on the main island? I was hoping that's what was rustling around at the end of the pier.

All I know is that his hair looks silly when it is all clean. He looked better greasy.

Ugh. How do I miss obvious things like that, Dumbledore?

Good point, Wookie, and it goes along with my thoughts about the original list from Season 2. Ben wanted the people he knew about from the 70s AND the kids taken to Otherton.
