What did Sawyer mumble to Jack? I _hate_ when they mumble! ---

> [@Draelin](#): > > I’m really stupidly excited to see what Kate did, given how much I’ve taken to disliking Kate lately. I just really hope that it’s something _actually_ bad, and not a “I killed my father for touching me” cop-out. Sure, maybe she’s got a good heart, but I’d rather see that she made a mistake in her youth than committed some crime under mitigating circumstances. Give the man a ceegar. We have a winner. ---

> [@Antigen](#): > > Yeah, saw that one coming from the first few episodes. How horribly undramatic and predictable! Yeah… Gotta admit that particular play has been called a few too many times from the TV Drama playbook. The explosion caught me off guard, at least. Would it make a difference if her real dad was dead and that was her stepfather? Nah… been there done that too… EZ ---

And we have a last name! Or did we have it already and I missed it? Austin! (Or maybe Austen) Care to speculate wildly on meanings here? ---

> [@Antigen](#): > > Yeah, saw that one coming from the first few episodes. How horribly undramatic and predictable! Yeah. I was hoping it’d be something more unique and sinister. That’s just boring. Pretty much the worst crime you can have a woman commit without actually risking her likability at all. Oh, hey, looks like Jin’s done with his penance. ---

For the record if we burn Jin’s shirts, we have to burn Sun’s. ---

Jin without his cuff, and Kate having a breakdown… And Mister Eko wants to know more about the company. I seem to recall he recognized the name of the company when he heard it. Anyone else recall? ---

Okay. Knowing that her motivations weren’t so simple and pure, I feel a little better about “what Kate did” now. ---

So shared hallucinations are now the norm. Are they “getting sick”? Who else saw that part coming at the computer? Show of hands? _WAAAALLLTT!_ ---
