James the prolific reader
"Wake up, Boss"
Whee! Sawyer looks so... distinguished.
Horace, you are a freaking moron. No, you don't get over them, but you go on. And Sawyer is taking this to heart. Ah, frell. Bye, happy Juliayer 'ship.
Woohoo! nekkid Juliet!
And Jin just reported in. Tell your woman, James!
A Dharma Jeep! Woohoo!
*cue soaring music as James sees Kate*

Ah, the "it's only been 3 years" thing, to make the point about Sawyer and Kate and now he's with Juliette and Kate will be arriving and blah blah blah. Yeppers, there's the big reunion thingee. Oh, two weeks until the next ep?

I really, really, really, really like Sawyer & Juliet as a couple. And I dislike Kate even more than usual for coming back, because Sawyer is going to forget PDQ that he's over her.
I also really like Sawyer as a leader; the way he's assumed control and kept it.
Guess this is pre-Ben?

They gotta bring the angst. [/color][/quote] Sawyer was a pretty damn good leader, wasn't he? I still wanna know how he got the others, beyond Juliette, to stay on the island.

Sawyer and Juliet are totally and officially my new Lost OTP. After rewatching the flower scene several times to get a huge hit of fluff once or twice more I think I finally put my finger on what made James and Juliet, at least to my mind, seem different than watching Jack and Kate together three years into their future: James and Juliet came across as more grounded, more... grownup, for lack of a better word. I also thought that giving Juliet the flower really nicely symbolized the kind of man he'd become: sweet, thoughtful, tender, and more centered and comfortable in his skin and with his emotions. And given that his new name, LaFleur, means "the flower" in French, it was an incredibly fitting gesture to boot.

All kinds of internet goodies today. Over at lost.cubit.net, they're wondering if the four-toed statue might not be the figure of Anubis, especially when compared with an image they found of the Egyptian god: That thing Anubis is holding in his right hand? An ankh, which of course is the symbol Amy's dear departed Paul wore around his neck. They also point out it certainly isn't the first reference to ancient Egypt we've had on the show: Other references we've had to ancient Egypt have been Horace Goodspeed (from the Egyptian God Horus); The Hieroglyphs we've seen in many places including the Temple, the Frozen Donkey Wheel, the Ben Cave, and of course in the Swan Station(note: At Comic Con 06, Lost writers said that the translation they were hoping to convey was "Underworld" for these hieroglyphics, which would be a place of death. ); Hurley's recent painting of the Sphinx and Pyramids [seen briefly when Locke visited him] and the Ankh Necklace in tonight's episode. Can the producers make it any clearer to us that Ancient Egypt holds a key in all of this.Jeff "Doc" Jensen over at EW also reminds us that both men and women in ancient Egypt wore eyeliner—just like Richard Alpert. A few other choice bits from Doc:If Jack is the Man of Science, and if John Locke is the Man of Faith, then I nominate Sawyer as Man of Heart. To hell with it: Can we just say he's the effin' man?!' Because in last night's Lost, he certainly was all that, plus a bag of Dharma chips. The kind of dude all the boys want to be; the kind of hunk that all the girls wanna get with — provided they're cool with his new slightly shorn and less stubbled look. Stepping up as leader, savior, and super-cool boyfriend — and succeeding wildly at all three — Sawyer found himself born again in the Dharma Initiative past. He seemed perfectly at home, perfectly at ease, perfectly self-realized within the confines of the trippy-hippy Utopian commune. Making the ex-con the head of Dharma security? Genius. Coupling him with fertility doc-turned-motor pool mechanic Juliet? Totally worked for me. Kudos to Josh Holloway and Elizabeth Mitchell for selling us on the best romance Lost has ever given us. Consider my membership in the Skater/SawKate/Kateyer 'shipper club resigned, chopper kiss be damned.
.......
From the get-go last night, Sawyer was the picture of sacrifice. The second he saw that well reappear — BAM! He was on it, ready to shimmy into the underworld. He was the man with the misguided beach plan, and he showed admirable restraint dealing with Miles' sarcastic derision — and admirable humility when Juliet chided him privately for his stupid idea. But publicly, she backed his plays 100%. I loved this. I loved how in 1974, she built up his heroic character — and then in 1977, he returned the favor by rebuilding hers when he called upon her to deliver that baby. ''You're going to do great. I know you are,'' he said. Mersh. Sawyer was showered with something he rarely gets: trust. And what happened? He flourished. Like a flower. LaFleur. See how this works?
.......
THE THREE YEARS LATER TIME JUMP: DIDN'T THEY DO THIS ON BATTLESTAR GALACTICA? Almost. At the end of BSG's second season, the Best Show Nobody Is Ever Going To Watch No Matter How Much They Beg (And Anyway It's Too Late) pulled a memorable one-year later time leap after the Adama's rag-tag refugees decided to bag their Earth quest and make do on a harsh rock they called New Caprica. Natch, the Cylons hunted them down, bringing hardship to their hard but happy home. How much you wanna bet Jack, Kate, Hurley and co. wind up becoming Cylons in this equation? Jack Shepherd will likely assume the role of Odysseus, trying to rouse his crew from their lotus-induced tranquility and make them move on, by any means necessary. But from Sawyer's perspective, the prospect may be as welcome as marauding toasters. We shall see.

From an EW poster:
"I really liked the idea someone mentioned of Richard Alpert = RA, Egyptian Sun God. Very clever."

From an EW poster: "I really liked the idea someone mentioned of Richard Alpert = RA, Egyptian Sun God. Very clever."Very, very interesting. Also - Richard Alpert - the real one, changed his name to Ram Dass. And wrote a book called Be Here Now. Take a look at the 'Table of Contents'. Notice anything familiar? Mentions Dharma and the picture of the man with the cat face looks a lot like our 4-toed statue. Cats only have 4 toes on their back paws. I'm loving how this is coming altogether.

I will be even more in love than I already am. ;D

Hmm... I'm thinking the title refers to The Orchid? Or perhaps whatever flower Ben and Locke were referring to in that episode? It's probably something completely different though.
Teaser
Picking up from when Locke when down the well.
A statue!! But does it have 4 toes?
Dammit! What a tease, show!!
So they were in ancient times, but then the final turning of the wheel put them in the eary DHARMA period.
Headaches and nosebleeds are all gone now. That's interesting.
Now what? Now we wait for him to come back. For how long? As long as it takes. dun Dun DUN!!
3 years later. Ah, three years after the Losties got stranded in time.
OMGHEYITSTHATGUY!!!! And Herc from Friday Night Lights!!!
Jerry and Phil. And a random chick.
Horace. Horace is...
Ah, LaFleur is a person.
LaFleur is Sawyer. Naturally. His hair is thankfully less greasy, but it's still gross.

Part I
Sawyer and Miles.
Amy.
Paul.
Now Amy goes into labor. Naturally.
Three years earlier.
Daniel jumped with the other Losties, but Charlotte didn't. Interesting.
It's the only 2 plans you people have. Heh.
Shots fired.
This Paul. And the chick from earlier.

Part II
The Truce. So this is after the Truce.
I'm a professional. I used to lie for a living. A sonic fence.
Three years later. This is getting a little distracting.
Amy giving birth.
Dammit, Jim! I'm an internist, not an obstetrician! It's a good thing that there's an obstetrician undercover then!
A breech birth.
DHARMA women have been giving birth on the mainland. Amy's baby is 2 weeks early.
Jin is pretty much fluent in English now, as you would expect.
They've been doing a systematic search of the island (finally!!!) to find the other Losties.
Amy gave birth just fine. Aw... And what a relief for Juliet after having witnessed so many failed ones.

Part III
Horace knows who they really are. Or that they're cover story is bullshit. He must have played some part in getting them into DHARMA.
Oh, I guess Horace doesn't know.
The cover story is that they were a research team trying to find the Black Rock. Clever.
Horace doesn't know about the Black Rock. DHARMA must not have explored very much of the island at this point. Or some of them have but are keeping it from everyone else.
Sawyer is not DHARMA material. That hurts!
Miles doesn't know about the history of DHARMA and The Others? I thought he would have known.
The record's spinning again, we're just not on the song we want to be on.
There's young Charlotte.
Klaxon blares.
There's Richard. Pretty as ever.
What was Juliet's relationship with Richard, I wonder. We haven't seen them interact at all, but that wasn't a very happy reaction shot she gave right there.

Part IV
Horace and Richard.
About the Broken Truce.
Your buddy out there with the eyeliner. *snorfle*
Sawyer talks to Richard. Ah, I guess Sawyer didn't interact with Richard in that 1950s episode.
This is how they got integrated into DHARMA, cause Sawyer called off Richard's dogs and Horace was grateful.
So what did they do about two of The Others being dead?
What are The Others going to do with Paul's body? Resurrect him?
The cross. Is that supposed to have some significance? Aside from the obvious, I mean. Within show significance.
We're already saved.
1974.
It's not a reason not to go. I'm thinking the island's not going to let her go.
Sawyer is self centered, but not in an annoying way. This is a very sweet scene between the two of them.
3 years later.
Yep, Juliet and Sawyer are living together. Aww...
