He finally saw her as the competent woman she's become, not the giggly girl he married. Why does my head hurt? 'Cuz betweem VM last night and Lost tonight there's just too much plot stuff in your head? Hmmmm? **looks very earnest and innocent and casually strolls away, hiding brain stuff behind her back** La, la, la. Nothing to see here. Lola

Re the speculation that the island fulfills wishes, both good and evil--Charlie really, really wanted that peanut butter. He didn't get it, though he charmingly conned the pregnant girl into pretending its existence. If the island fulfills wishes...why was there no peanut butter? BTW--I dislike peanut butter. So less peanut butter is no offense in my book. I was thinking the same thing about the lack of food. I don't think the island really grants wishes. I think we'll find out it's more complex than that.

So less peanut butter is no offense in my book. I don't think the island fulfills wishes in a "I wish I had a million dollars!" conscious-wishing way. (Geez, what a sentence - am I making sense?) I'm more getting the feeling that it - in a non-sentient way - responds to the subconscious. It responds to people's underlying hopes and fears and the like. Kinda like the real world, only writ large, and more quickly and literally and directly. (As in Sawyer, in the Real World, in a more roundabout way, becoming exactly what he was afraid he'd become.)

Maybe you only get one. If so, Sawyer should have bargained harder.

I have to say that I'm really liking this show. Walkabout was my favorite ep so far because it had such a surprising ending. I never saw that coming, not at any point during the episode. Some of the other episodes, I've been able to figure out before the ending (maybe only seconds before, but still...), but not Locke being able to walk. Anyways, I really appreciate a show that gets me thinking about it! Walkabout just floored me, totally. Just amazingly well done, and like you, I didn't see it coming at all. And Locke is still such a man of mystery! He just lives in the grey zone. Lola

This episode was so full of deep stuff and action and anger...so my favorite line was? 'while I'm gone, get a chocolate sundae and when I get back, I'll use you for a dish.' just shoot me. I liked that one. But I LOL'd at "Don't stop now. I think my sinuses are clearing." Reminded me a little of Mal in the torture scene in "Firefly". What can I say? The darkness of the torture compared to the lightness of the funny tickles me.

As in, perhaps, "Reality bends to desire"? Now, where have I heard that before...?

but he didn't burn it....He almost did, and pulled the lighter back I believe. I must have looked away for a minute. So, he's still holding on to it.. as a reminder? Different from Charlie's burning of his drugs.

me too. I think my least favorite ep so far was the one about Jack because it seemed to reveal the least about him. Although there is a satisfying mystery surrounding all the major characters still. I like that. hmm...re-reading that...so totally contradictory sounding... What I mean is...I like the mystery surrounding them, but Jack's ep didn't give us much of a surprise about him. Looking back, though, I find I appreciate the Jack episode more as we see more of Jack. **goes briefly to happy shirtless Jack place** I mean, more of Jack's responses and actions. He's very decisive on a lot of things, especially medical crisis or times when he's feels on solid ground. But we've seen several examples of how he can be very uncertain in a leader role, or be swayed by emotions or other people. And I think we got a lot of insight into why he's that way in the Jack ep.

As in, perhaps, "Reality bends to desire"? Now, where have I heard that before...? As in Dru saying she didn't want to become an evil thing, and Angel saying he didn't want to get trapped at the bottom of the ocean, and Spike saying he didn't want to get caught and experimented upon. As in "she merely wanted it." Yep. I think The Island is like that - a metaphor for the way we all create our own environments and identities, and how that process works.

The darkness of the torture compared to the lightness of the funny tickles me. Oh - I loved the sinuses are clearing line also. I also liked - paraphrasing: "I don't think you've ever tortured anyone before in your life." "Unfortunately for both of us, you are wrong."

And I can;t discuss much more on this cause I have a review to write and i don;t wanna do it HERE *L* Vlad

I was sitting here grimacing the whole way.
