Some spoiler info from TV Guide… Here are a few spoiler nuggets from tonight’s episode: We’re gonna find out where exactly things stand with Jack (Matthew Fox) and his wife, Sarah (Julie Bowen). Are they still married? Did they have children? Did she leave him for a guy named Ed? Also, my colleague (and ultimate Lost insider) Shawna Malcom tells me we’ll find out what exactly the black rock is in the ep’s closing moments - and she assures me “it’s huge.” ---

It’s interesting (to me, anyway) to note the appearance of [Daniel Roebuck](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0736263/) as Mr. Artz (he’s the one who called Sawyer a ‘hillbilly’) in the last few episodes of the season (according to [IMDB](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411008/guests)). Could he be another Ethan? ---

Could he be another Ethan? I doubt it. Hurley did the manifest thing, remember? Ethan was the only one not on the manifest. And they seem to know a lot about Artz, as well. I think he is just another survivor, getting some screen time. Maybe because next season will focus on some different people. ---

Could he be another Ethan? In another thread, someone pointed out that IMDB sometimes extends a person’s appearances beyond the actual episodes that person is in. But he probably has a one liner or two, now that we know who he is. ---

Sawyer is so fucking hot it hurts. With that being said, that scene with Sawyer and Jack was wonderfully acted by Fox. This show had better get tons of Emmy nods thrown at it.
