Jack, what??

You know what he did. Come ON. No, no, no.

And does anyone else hate that commercial they show every time where the little girl wearing rain boots steps in the middle of her birthday cake and all the adults laugh and clap? What kind of a world is that? It’s all so wrong.

But most wrong is what Jack just did. I loved him until he did that.

Otherwise, lots of information tonight. Thank you. We really needed that.

And love it that they give us the benefit of the doubt by wrapping around to all that second season stuff without having to remind us of the backstory. Thank you, we remember quite nicely.

Jack. Stupidhead.

    Yes, I know what he did. It’s just wrong. It feels wrong and it reeks of “reboundness.” Ick.

    But lots of great info, and for once I feel that I can finally, maybe, perhaps trust someone whose motives I’ve questioned for a long time.

    The truth about the island’s magic is revealed:

    It makes me want Elizabeth Mitchell.

  3. Barry Says:

    Er, that should read:

    “It wants MEN want Elizabeth Mitchell.”

    I, personally, have never been to the island.

  4. Barry Says:

    “Makes!” Damn it!

    That’s it — no more Scotch first thing in the morning…

  5. jules Says:

    Are you talking about that very forced, anti-passionate kiss he had with Juliet?

    Did you see EW’s wrap-up today? Ouch. Doc Jensen’s NEVER that hard on ‘em.

  6. robin Says:

    Yes, Jules, GRRRR. That kiss was horrible–and not just because he totally betrayed Kate. It was just a bad kiss, period.

    I’ll go read EW right now. I love that coverage.

    Barry, obviously that hussy has you very flustered. I don’t get it.

    Kelley, I know what you mean–it does explain her motives, and I do feel much better about that. But still, yuck.

  7. Kelley Says:

    Barry, I laughed out loud at your posts.

    Now that we’re using names, I totally think Jack and Juliet have NO chemistry. They are completely wrong for each other. But even so, Juliet needed a bit of redemption. She’s such a cold person, isn’t she? But now I kinda feel like I know why. I would never condone an affair like the one she had, but she clearly needed an anchor when she got to that island, and she found him. The most chilling scene I’ve probably witnessed yet with this show was when Ben showed her the body and then said, “You’re mine.” The look on his face–chilling.

  8. Mary Lee Says:

    I don’t know from Jack, but we HATE that commercial! The whole series! How can they believe that junk sells anything???

  9. Alkelda the Gleeful Says:

    I’ve finally got caught up with you all. I like Juliet. She’s an Other, but I still like her, and I think what passes for coldness is actually extreme introvertedness. She’s quite warm when she’s around people with whom she’s comfortable.

  10. robin Says:

    Alkelda, I like her better than I did last year, but still–keep your hands off Jack! He’s totally spoken for! Go moon over Sayid or someone else.

    Mary Lee, high five about the commercial. I’ve seen it in print, too–what are they thinking?

    Kelley, I agree: NO chemistry. Totally forced for plot’s sake. And yeah, that “You’re mine” moment was chilling indeed. The actor playing Ben is SO good at being who he is.
