That my folks was the most nerve-racking episode ever!!! I was physically shaking throughout it. My mind kept going back and forth Charlie is going to be fine ... no he's not ... yes he is... no he's not .... and when his head came up from the water my heart was beating so fast... Charlie is ALIVE!!!!!!
After the eppy ended I had a nice cry... God I am so relieved

...awesome, I get to wait another week and stress out for Charlie's safety and now, hey, even better, I get to worry about Sayid and Jin Damn you, TPTB!
Somehow, I only feel slightly better that Charlie is alive, mostly, probably, because it looks like he might even be worse off than if he'd just drown, huh? *sigh* Woe are we, the Pacers Doomed to another week of stress and worry.

Well I thought it was a good episode. I didn't really care so much about the flashbacks this time around but I totally loved the island stuff. I loved the scene of Charlie first meeting Claire the night of the crash. So cute. Desmond volunteering to switch places with Charlie was, I thought a pretty sweet and selfless thing to do. I *heart* you, Des! and damn you Charlie for being all nobal and heroic, I could just smack you! lol
Anyway, I liked it! Though if I hadn't been all spoiled about tonights eppy I probably would've been more shocked or surprised by the ending. I gotta stop being such a spoiler whore. LOL. _________________

I have a complaint about this ep. Not enough Jawyer!
I loved Rose. I loved Jack's hair.
I thought Henry Ian Cusick did a fantastic job with Des this ep. Really understated. Sometimes I think he's a bit over the top, but he really pulled out the acting chops in this when dealing with Charlie IMO.
I loved Alex and Karl in this ep. But did anybody notice that when they yell they sound alike? Creepy!
The "They're coming right now!" line and her past "They're gonna kill your boyfriend!" lines eerily, eerily sound alike lol. Casting coincidence? Or are they really brother and sister? You decide! LMAO. Sorry I had to!

No kidding; it's about time that man's hair grew a little bit! I mean, unless he's secretly hiding a pair of buzz clippers from the rest of the clan... _________________ avatar: Plastic!Winchester Theater by anteka @ LJ; icon by me

How can anyone not love this show? It's just on a whole 'nother level!
When I think of Charlie, I think of this quote: "If this is to be our end, then let it be such an end as to be worthy of remembrance!" Probably because he was in that movie . But it's completely true here. The guy's being a hero. He doesn't just love Claire because he has weird dependency issues and she's his latest fix, and he's even managed to stop being a jerk to keep people away from him (e.g. Hurley). So if this is his end, then it will be a good one. And on Lost, that's about the best you can do methinks. He's gone the full motion and completely turned around, now there's nothing left for him to do but be a hero and face his destiny.
So I hope that at the very least, if he dies, it'll be a bittersweet moment for the Charlie fans, rather than a "*sobKILLWRITERSsob*" one.
And the full prophecy is something along the lines of: hatch, surrounded by women, blinking yellow light, switch, then drown. Not the reverse lol, so he's not quite up to that part yet.
Question: if the dynamite is so touchy that it can blow Arzt up like *snap* that, why do they need to shoot each of them seperately? Wouldn't it cause a chain reaction, setting each tent off?
*coughCONTINUITYERRORcough* "I was the junior swim champion in northern england" - Charlie. See White Rabbit (1x05) for why this is not quite so... unless he was simply lying. (hint: "I can't swim! I can't swim...")
Heh, Jack is a badass. Better plan than the last two at least. Not quite enough to do any real help though, I imagine. Like... okay, they kill a few guys (10?) - then what? There are more than 10. And then all three guns in one location? Nice. It doesn't take a spoiler preview to tell you that's not gonna work out great. (heh)
"The Looking Glass" - very nice name! Fitting! Bunnies!
As for the new girls:

Totally agree with that one.

KC you are my hero.
Not only did you say everything I was thinking, you also include yet another reason why incest is a core theme of this show. LOL JOKES!
I love being back on a forum...
That would certainly explain why Ben wants him away from Alex. Not to mention he's so good with family secrets (e.g. Danielle)
What's gonna happen once Locke inevitably blows up the radio tower and Charlie floods the hatch?! All the mysterious places are being destroyed one by one! Where will the writers go from here?!
I'm intrigued .
(I guess there's still the freighter for them all to get to and... you know... escape the island. But that can't happen or else the story will be toast so... Locke time once again? "I'm sorry Jack. I sunk your battleship." )
