Well. Jin is back on my shitlist. Seems he hasn't changed all that much. I am enjoying looking at Sun's pretty men, though. Girl's got good taste.

Was that Sun's father that came in and saw them in flagrante delecto? I know he has ties to the.... are developments from the "Lost Experience" online game spoilers? Jin will come around to the sensible side of the universe eventually: he's got it in him. Snerk! "How dare you!" "Shocked, not shot" Plusses in that: it's not a distance weapon, like the taser Juliet used on him. But why does everyone like zapping hell out of Sawyer? Oh, come on, some people you just wanna taser.

Stupid fulking paternalistic cultures anyway. And it's fascinating, watching the parallels between situations. Jin and Sun, both possessing skills the other doesn't know about. Both the Others and Sayid using the "one to make the other behave" technique. Although Sawyer's plan was a good one. Too bad they were outnumbered 10 to 1. And Juliet is always "good cop"?

He called me "son" for the first time. I do this for you, Sun! Except it's not what she wants. Sort of Great Gatsby-like. And Jin catches on too. Because he's knows more English than he lets on. Just not comfortable speaking it. Yep. He knows Sun betrayed him. Way back when or more recently? Yeah, I would keep one person actually on the boat at all times, but that's just me. If I liked Sawyer, that would probably be hot. Kissing her to provide a distraction? Too bad it didn't work. I think it worked perfectly. Looked to me like the goal was to get one of them close enough to deprive him of his weapon. But...10 to 1 odds.

But wouldn't that be violent and wrong? ;D ETA: And true, the indignant look he gets on his face is priceless... the visual equivalent of "dammit, not again!"

That was great. The Others thought they knew Sun. They were wrong. Their arrogance is their weakness. Do they know she's pregnant, I wonder? 'Cause that might make her just that much more willing to pull the trigger. I wasn't sure she'd do it, but...I figured she had to.

Looked to me like the goal was to get one of them close enough to deprive him of his weapon. But...10 to 1 odds. From the way he debriefed the intelligence he'd gathered to Kate when they were re-caged, I figured he was trying it as a test of their conditions: the Others in this sitch have not threatened lethal punishment: I think he figured he was risking getting zapped at best, possibly non-lethally shot at worst: and he wound up with tons of info on what the strengths of their guards were, who to watch out for, etc. Impressive tactical planning on his part. PLUS he got to snog Kate: and there was always the chance, however slim, that he'd wind up with the upper hand: say if Kate had proved as slippery and fast with the gun Juliet had as she did with Sawyer back in the pilot ep. 10-to-2 odds, when the two are crack shots and have guns and the element of surprise? Not impossible, though definitely risky. I think, though, that it was recon more than anything else: Sawer was watching everyone like a hawk, to see which way they were predisposed to jump. Granted, this is crediting Sawyer with subtlety that he doesn't normally display, but he is the master of the Long Con.

Hey, my 10 to 1 odds was based on an estimate of about 20 Others in the immediate vicinity, if you look at that crowd after the fight.

Dammit, going and reducing the ratios down to their lowest common denomemonoator, and confusing hell out of me... Not that that's hard...Yeah, 10-1 odds are pretty crappy, conceded: not enough ammo in both weapons, nor a safe defensible place to fall back to, what with not enough time for full geographic recon.

I still think the plan worked exactly as it was meant to; whether he meant to escape, or not - he just didn't realize there were so many people around (and neither did I), if the plan was escape. Still not a bad plan.

Don't even try to tell me "you taste like strawberries" wasn't a Buffy reference... Okay, I won't: mostly because I was distracted by the breakfast menu in last week's episode. Right there with you, scooter. I didn't think it was a Buffy reference.

I know it's silly, especially given that Jack's a fictional character, but whenever he mentioned the Sox I felt bad that he might never know they won it all. Yes, I am a total dork... Nope, not a dork. The BoSox winning was a huge deal, and just because you're fictional doesn't mean you wouldn't be sad that you missed it. Besides, that was a good way to get some sympathy from the audience for the character of Jack--it was a moment to which a lot of people could relate. You are just hot for Jack, Jack, Jack. It's all Jack with you, all the time.
