Lost Video Island

It seems to me that Kate has been "living a lie" for so long that in order for us to get to the "real her" it's gonna take some time. Despite the fact that this episode revealed much, it also gave that underlying "we still don't know everything, or possibly anything, for sure yet" feel. Even when she was talking rather honestly with Tom I kind of got the vibe that he was as clueless as we are about where she'd been and what she had or hadn't done.

well, I'm not saying that Kate is a cold blooded killer. lol. Every character has some good and some evil. And I guess I don't think Kate is really evil, just... confused? lol.

to be fair though,

My logic is her "mom" was dying of cancer and those patients can sometimes be very lucid one moment then completely confused the next minut. That was what I though about why her mom was scared all of a sudden.

See my above posts for all the reasons I love the Kate story. I could do with less crazy Locke and Walt. I like them both but I'm not a big fan of Locke's backstory just because I expect so much more from a character like him. I thought it was cool but it couldn't hold my attention. I think more of Walt's backstory would have interested me but the way they did it through Michael didn't make it that interesting. So I hope we get more intersting Locke backstory because his island story is cool and a lot more Kate. I want more Claire, Hurley, and Shannon too. I think they all have a lot more story to tell then we've seen so far.

IMO Jack/Kate/well.. even Locke feel kind of worn out. And since i know a non-flashback episdoe is probably not possible, at this point I would like more Claire/Walt/Jin/Sun in that order. !

every one of them has run it's course already kinda

I'm completely ready for the monster to fricking chow down and just give me a few fresh backstories! I already Love Art, the science teacher LOL

I once thought the same as you E, but I disagree with you on Kate's now. There is a LOT to go through there still. Stuff that NEEDS to be explained, not just made up out of the blue (like Jack's marriage

)

Some oldies now that I think have lost their edge, and just need a start-up:
Jack - father issues... done! what else now huh?
Sayid - maybe something about the wartimes, but I doubt there will be anything that affects the plot much...
Sun - what else? How she came into contact with that lady who helped her out? Maybe daddy issues? (though they sure have played that parent issues card a lot...)
Jin- predictable. Poor guy wants to be important. Goes to city, falls in love with girl. you know the rest. Though it might be nice to see the process!

*insert girly heart here*
Charlie - that last one was a HUUUUUUGGGGEEEE stretch already. I'd rather they just spend more time on him dealign with the heroine he will surely find in the plane

In-betweens:
Hurley- he found some numbers, and doesn't know what they mean

wow, more backstory will tell us a LOT more!

Though I would like to know more about that crazy friend of his, and possibly why he's called "Hurley"
Claire - MAYBE some "hints" about her being special or fated, or something... or somethign about her parents "practically disown[ing]" her
Micheal- don't really care what, but I hope it's just not about his relationship with Walt, is all. Might be nice to know about his art or something, especially if it fits into the plot somehow.

"MUST SEE"s
Locke- no way. MUST know how he got in the wheelchair and lost his hair. Not to mention anything else. Why is there boredom from his backstories from you, Lostcalier??!

his backstories are M A Zing

I'm afraid too many people see Locke as a flat character

"the creepy guy". But he has a past, one where he didn't have a good life, but now he's on the island and it's as if everything completely turned around for him. I feel sorry for the poor guy in those flashbacks, which is what makes everything good that happens to him on the island, even if it's something bad for others, and makes me go "Yeah Locke! You deserve it buddy!"

Shannon- Losts of room from before she knew Boone. But hers isn't desperately needed either. Though I would like to know why she said to Sayid, when he stopped her from killing Locke "You just don't GET IT, do you?". It sounded like there was a deeper meaning to those words than what we might think...
Walt- all we need to know is why he's special. and if everything on the show is logical, like it should be, then there might not be anything to tell. Though I would enjoy being jerked around, and looking for the little weird things that happen around Walt

Kate- for ALL the reasons I stated above and in previous posts. I may not like her character much, or even these backstories, but there is a LOT that needs to be filled in. She will NOT be kicking the bucket any time soon

I can count, like, three backstories already that are needed to solve her mystery, and that's not even counting the ones that will surely be made up to deepen the mystery other places. I'm flip flopping, ep 12 = WORST BACKSTORY EVER. Now = Intruiging!

Sawyer - why did he become a con man, despite having his life ruined by one in the first place? hmmm... plus, he needs some fixing up, linking that arrest he got in Boone's flashback to the rest of his past more clearly.

Well, I got two things...

1.) I guess the whole toy airplane/Lucky Charms theory just got thrown in the trashcan, huh?

2.) And this is the fangirl in me talkin, but when are Claire and Charlie gonna ask someone (perhaps Sawyer, cause he seems to get the kid to be quiet for 2 minutes) to babysit so they can have a little "Tumble Time in their Tent?"

In all seriousness, I really liked this ep, and I agree that Kate has a lot of mileage in her. I'm really getting into her centric eps as they are of the cliffhangery variety. As much as I luv Sawyer and Jack, there's not that much else to tell of their backgrounds. The only thing I think left in Sawyer is the process of him becoming "Sawyer" (we saw him as a kid watching his parents die, and him taking out the real Sawyer, but there wasn't that in between stuff) and perhaps what his real name is... or did he say that already, I can't remember; with Jack, maybe what got his dad to Australia in the first place, what became of his marriage?

Okay, i'm being drowned out by the cheers of "Walt/Locke! Walt/Locke!" and I seriously don't mean that in a "fanfic Slash" type of way, cause creepy and wrong comes to mind.

LMFAO that post should be framed ^^

It would be kinda interesting to see what Sawyer went through to become the con artist.... hmmm.. scratch that, he's moving to my "MUST WATCH" category now

But I kind of doubt that we'll get much of a twist that actually visibly affects the plot or his character in future episodes.

As for Walt, I'm goign with the flow

I doubt that he has special powers. But then again, I think I'm gonna be twisted to believe he does when I see his backstory :p (and then I'll be twisted BACK to believing he DOESN'T again!

LOL)

That reminds me! How are all you Skate shippers taking this episode?! The words "because there ain't nothin on the island worth staying for" seem PRETTY strong to me

My first feeling was "wow, did Evangeline ever get the chance to work on her 'whimper' face!" Because she was getting it from all sides! Jack thinks she poisoned Michael and Sawyer rats her out to the whole group. Then, of course, just about everybody turns their back on her by the end. Kate had a fairly rotten day, wouldn't you say?

I liked the part where Sawyer figured out she had been the prisoner (I actually would've expected him to have figured it out a lot sooner than this, would've liked to have seen him hold it over her for longer than, oh, roughly 30 seconds!

). I didn't like how he did the aforementioned ratting out, even though it was perfectly in his character to do so (the whole "you had me cornered" line of reasoning or whatever he said). You know me, I'm a hopeless romantic when it comes to my Southern bad boy and I would've liked to see him be just a tad more noble. Yes, I just said that that wouldn't have been true to his character. That's also why I said I'm a hopeless romantic!

And was it just me or was his hair really, really in his face in this ep? Okay, I know, I know, nobody else cares about that. I'm just being thorough in my review...
