Finally! Sawyer got some action, but not the kind you were thinking. They have been building up to Sawyer getting his revenge and tonight was just a peek of what’s to come. I don’t want to see a shootout at the “Others” Corral, I want to see Sawyer get down and dirty with his revenge. Maybe Sayid will find them on the “long walk” he is referring to and will help Sawyer and Kate escape. Hm, this is proving so far to be a very exciting season! I can’t wait until next week! AND, Eko gets pulled underground by the monster… ugh! I can’t stand the wait!

1. Falling glass ballerina. I think this had two purposes. One was to show us Sun is so not above lying. She even knew the maid would get fired for what she did and she looked right in her dad’s face and lied. More on this to come I’m sure. Second, the fallen ballerina symbol. First she was innocent and then fell and broke, just like the statue. Sayid knew she was lying about why she was on the boat. I wonder why.

2. Sayid “was” circumnavigating the island using Danielle’s map. Does Danielle know where the Other’s camp is? She knows that the monster is a security system; maybe he should ask her what it’s for. Would Sayid have found the camp had they kept going? I can’t believe they outsmarted him when they came from the water. Back in season one they came from the water when the killed Steve/Scott, has he forgotten in 69 days? But he does tell them they have a long walk ahead, I think he is going to keep looking for Jack and co. What does he have to lose now that Shannon is dead?

3. I am still undecided which way Juliet is going to go. She seems so cold yet has a hold on Ben. He seemed actually jealous that she made soup for Jack (No soup for Ben!). My initial reaction is that Jack intrigues her because of whatever they know about him and what they want from him. But the fact that she could kill Kate without flinching shows that she has a very different side. However, if Jack stays with the others, like I suspect he will, there could be some silly little love affair they are going to develop with Juliet and Jack. (*gag, cough*)

4. Jack appears to be giving up his will to fight. More to come on this later. But the way he just sits in the corner…. is his story line about over now that he has made peace with the Sara story? I want to see him at least reunite with the Losties!

5. Ben was genuinely surprised that the Losties *had* a sailboat. He seems to be the know-it-all voyeur on the island, how could Desmond have had this boat all this time and he didn’t know it? Kelvin was restoring it even. Guess maybe that is the sign to viewers that Ben can’t know everything.

6. Again, Colleen comes up to the cages so quickly after supposedly being “underground” where Jack is being held. Makes me think that they just have him in some type of aquarium, not underwater.

7. Sun is not looking well. Now that the magnetic pull is gone (from the hatch) are we going to start seeing the medical miracles fail? Will her miracle pregnancy miscarry? Will Rose get sick again? Will Locke lose his ability to walk (of course not fellow skeptics because his was all psychological). But she could have the *sickness.*

8. OK, did Sun or didn’t she with Mr. Teacherherenglish (Lee)? I gasped at first because I didn’t want to believe that she did it, or him. Then she said she couldn’t and when he stood up he had pants on. So ha! She didn’t! Doesn’t mean she doesn’t with someone else right before she gets on the plane, but not with Lee!

9. Have you seen the movie or read the book Holes? These writers are definitely readers. In the book, these juvenile delinquent boys are brought to the middle of the desert to dig holes as punishment for whatever crime they committed. The idea is the break their spirit. I think that is exactly what is going on here. I don’t think that any of the people in the background were doing any real work, they were just props put there by the Others to appear as if there was a chain gang. But the Others want to see these two break, much like they did to Jack. Lucky for us Sawyer is so much stronger and smarter than that. I only wish he would realize there is a DAMN CAMERA watching them. OF COURSE THERE IS! But, in the book there is actually buried treasure the boys are digging for, they just don’t know it. I have said before there might be some “gold in them there hills” (maybe not gold, but it fits the phrase) and that there is mining going on here.

But what were The Others looking at under the tent? Was it blueprints? Plans for what? More houses, airstrip, a hatch perhaps?

10. So does Jin really know that Mr. Lee was trying to hook up with Sun or is he just taking his frustration at Mr. Pak out on him? I knew he wouldn’t kill the guy, didn’t he have a similar issue in an earlier episode when the guy in the white suit showed up to finish the job? Someone obviously threw Mr. Lee off the balcony and purposely onto Jin’s car.

11. Sayid says they’ve only been sailing for one day when they find the dock where Jack and co. were taken. So it can’t be that far from the camp. Why hasn’t anyone ventured out after 69 days to try and find this kind of thing? Fear my friends. Fear of the unknown, of the Others. The scary, dirty savage costumes the Others wear. The plan worked.

12. Alex asks Kate about Karl. Will Kate at some point have more conversation with her and somehow bring up Danielle? Kate knows that her daughter was taken and my guess would be that there aren’t very many female Alex’s that you will run into on this island!

13. Sun wanted Jin to run away from her father together and start a new life. Guess she got her wish. Why would she want to even go back – oh yeah, outside of the Others that kill people now and again.

14. Jin understands English better than Sun thinks, huh? Does he know about the Cluckety Cluck? Did he understand Hurley telling him that his wife was hot? What else does he know?

15. I don’t like soap operas and definitely DO NOT want to see this show lean towards daytime crapola, but I really enjoyed the scene where Sawyer just drops what he’s doing and kisses Kate and she doesn’t seem to mind. Sure, he had motives outside the kiss but come on! That was passion! My boyfriend says he dumps the water as if to say, ” I don’t need your water, I need her!”

16. Sun had a red shirt on when she was on the boat. I thought for sure she would die but I guess she hasn’t changed yet!

17. Jin yelling for the sailboat was heart wrenching, just like when Michael was calling for Walt. But overall this week he seemed like he was going back to his old jerky ways (grabbing Sun, yelling at her to obey him. Ick!)

18. New nickname for Kate: Shortcake. She tastes like strawberries. He tastes like fish biscuits so should his nickname be SeaBass?

19. I’m going to have to get into my screen caps for this one, but Ben is watching 6 screens. Looks like two views of Jack, one on Sawyer, one on Kate and maybe two on the entrance to whatever hatch they are in?

20. Benjamin Linus (?) and has been on island his whole life? Need to check this out more… must be some significance in that name.

21. Why would they send Jack home if he cooperates? Is there a home to send Jack to? What does he even have to go back to? His career, maybe. His wife and dad are gone and perhaps his reputation over the Sara/lover witch hunt that he was on last week. Will Jack want to go home or will he think that whatever is going on here is good in the name of science? Will he fall in love with Juliet (*gag, cough*)?

22. Gets me thinking we are seeing a theme here this week… did they or didn’t they infidelity. Sara and ??, Sun and Mr. Lee. Who will it be next week because it’s Locke’s flashback!

23. Reflection of Red Sox on Jack. You could just feel his pain and desire to be home. How much would you miss your life if you were here? Plus Jack’s dad told him some line about the Red Sox never winning the world series. Ironic for Jack.

24. I think that the writers were talking to us (viewers) again this week through a Jack/Ben dialog. Jack wants to know where Kate and Sawyer are and Ben gives them a short answer and says that is all he can tell him. Jack says he can tell him anything he wants and Ben responds that he can but that is all he wants to tell him right now. Then he tells Jack that he needs patience. Hmm, seems like a message to me!

25. Next week looks SO GOOD! Locke running from the monster! Eko getting taken underground! Desmond with no underpants!

26. Oh crap, they took the sailboat! Maybe now Desmond will be p-od too at The Others.

27. I’m still questioning if the *whispers* in the jungle were coming from this group of Others. Seems like they are into observing but I haven’t seen much more that that….yet!
