Jin was cracking me up with his "scary" Ghost Story... the whole flashlight shining up on his face OMG I was just in stitches ...
Okay seeing Charlie get "killed" by that arrow at the start ... for a second I was like OMG this is it... ... but then I was like wait a minute we haven't seen the eppy on Charlie yet... so this can't be it... this isn't real!
But throughout the entire eppy I had this uneasy feeling.
Charlie has to be okay .... I just can't wrap my mind around it that the writers would mess with such a great thing they have with Charlie and Claire...
So Kate loves Jack... *I don't know... just typing out loud* but it sure looks that way...
1.) No no, "Not this time!"- Desmond's got the first aid kit now! That arrow wont be a problem if you got an instant ice pack, tweezers and some band aids.
2.) Not this sacrifice-schtuff again. I call that the writers read my blurb about Locke and Boone/Isaac and Abraham.
3.) Okay the Skater in me was like "YAY!" but what the hell? Shes using him! And Jack can barely look her in the face! Something is not right here...was she crying over the loss of Jack, her friend? Must be freaking exhausting- she and Jack are on this moral/ethical treadmill and no matter how hard she runs, shell never keep up. Just accept it- youre deeply flawed, and thats how we likes ya. I dont know if she "loves" him as much as she is sad to lose that friendship, trust, comradery- kind of like on "The Office"- Dwight and Andy.
And the "something will go wrong soon enough..."- foreshadowing?
4.) Huh? The parachuter- "how do we know its even human?" HUH? What is it, a parachuting donkey???
Overall, decent episode. Kind of filler- and crying? Gimme a break, gimme a break, break me off a piece of that hot hot Sawyer...okay sorry, this is a full day of work and classes talking. Another parachuter- I was wondering how they were going to get more eligible women on the island. _________________

She's Portuguese note the Catch 22 book that was in her bag was in Portuguese (I had been spoiled on this before so I knew.) She has to be part of Penny's crew remember the two Portuguese dudes in the station? That's how she knows Desmond.
I have to applaud the writers for their reveal of Desmond as a monk explaining the brother thing cause I was pretty sure that wasn't just a Scottish thing. Now it all makes sense fantastic. A gripping episode that got me worried about Charlie and Desmond. For some reason I thought maybe Des was gonna take the arrow instead :s I was just really glad when neither of them died. I felt for you Cinthia all worried about Charlie but I guess you spoiled yourself
Also did anyone notice the wife of the monk dude was none other than the ring lady O_O I'll go get a screencap. You can see on his desk it panned over the photo so I went back and paused it. It's almost as bad as my pic manips lol but it's definetly her! Creepy. _________________

Ok, first off, Skex was hot as hell. Those two have way too much chem. Do you ever watch them and just think of them as evi and josh and think, "shit, that looks way too real". Hotness.
The ghost stories were hilarious. I love Jin-not-speaking-english jokes. They get better as the seasons go on.
Next week is gonna be great, I'm sure. I can't wait to see who this girl is. Finally, a girl! That can make more loves for us to create fandoms for. haha.
Favorite quotes tonight, by the way, were "discussing your favorite other?" and "you want me to make a mixed tape for you?"
oh wait, I forgot, "now that that is out of the way, how about some afternoon delight?" HAHAHAHHAHA I love sawyer.
And that discussion about the flash and superman was ridiculously awesome! I've had that discussion before, and I totally agree with Charlie. Well, there is a reason for me to like Charlie. lol.
Oh and, "Botha Desmond" was hilarious. And I noticed the picture too Polarbear. I went "woah, did you guys see that?" I had to go back and show my family after I saw it! lol. _________________ http://www.youtube.com/10thkingdomfanatic

I keep having this mental image of someone's throat getting pierced by an arrow and it's not going away. I'm going to have nightmares. That was so gross. _________________

It's MG
It was a goodish ep. Poor Desmond, Charlie better be making a freaking shrine for you after all this.
The most interesting thing about this ep though? Hmmm, toss up. First might be that I think Sanjaya just got kicked off American Idol and landed on Lost . Heh.
The second is this:

I think KC is onto something - for serious!
Oh Kate, you predictable, fickle little beast you

It sucks not having much to say ... but there's not much there. it was alright though...
