I taped Saturday’s repeat and just watched it yesterday. Redneck Guy (Sawyer ?) was reading something handwritten on notebook paper, definitely a personal letter of some sort. I was thinking Dear John letter also, and maybe he was either on his way to someone (to try to win someone back) or on his way back from an unhappy encounter. He looked sad when he was reading it, and the letter looked like he’d read it many times. The little boy told Terry O’Quinn they moved around a lot, in response to O’Quinn’s comment about him not having an Austrailian accent. Maybe he and his mom were on the run from the dad? Maybe that’s why the dad doesn’t know him very well? ---

No Dinosaurs Cool idea (IIRC also use in Deep Blue Sea) We’ve always loved the idea that one of our series regs goes traipsing off into the jungle with one of the castaways we’ve never seen before. The audience is thinking the poor yahoo with one line is gonna die a gruesome and horrible death, but then it’s the REGULAR who gets wiped out. It will be done.

[Bump due to rerun] Did we ever figure out the secret that Locke told Walt?

Possible foreshadowing? Kate: Does anyone know how to use a gun? Charlie: Just pull the trigger. Best line in the episode: Sawyer: I thought it might come in handy. I just killed a bear! ---

Also in hindsight, it is interesting that when Locke was teaching Walt about the game, he held up the white and black pieces and said something to the effect of “one player is light and one player is dark.” It’s very telling, now. ---

Does anybody else think Sawyer looks really different than in the final episodes? Also, exactly how does Jack maintain a “I havn’t shaved for two days” look for 40 days or so on the island? ---

The only difference I’ve noticed is that his roots are growing in. 🙂 And I know we see Jack shaving in the episode with Sawyer’s headaches–I just find it strange that we rarely see anybody _actually_ clean-shaven–it’s all two days of scruff. ---

If this show is a huge hit and goes on for five years or more, they all better be looking like Tom Hanks in _Castaway_ after a while. I’m just saying… ---

We noticed. At first he had a somewhat slick, greasy appearance. Plus now that ugly smirk has softened quite a bit. ---

> [@Oslo Ostragoth](#): > > (Speaking as a hetero male) I get why women love the danger-boys Sayid and Sawyer, but, seriously, does Jack have any whoosh appeal at all? I must be in the minority, because I am not a particular fan of either Sawyer or Sayid (except insofar as they are needed to advance the plot). I don’t know what “whoosh” appeal is, but Jack is my favorite of the guys on the island (except for Hurley, but I don’t like Hurley “that” way). I can’t explain why, except that he reminds me an awful lot of my husband: serious, intense, and smart, with a surprising (and sometimes surprisingly inappropriate) sense of humor. As a general rule, I tend to favor the nerd/dork/geek type over the bad boys ( **Draelin** can vouch for me on this one) – although when a dork might have a streak of the bad boy in him, as I suspect Jack might, then all the better. Don’t know if that helps you at all, but that’s my 2¢. ---

It is kind of sad that they’re not just letting the guys grow beards because they have to keep going back to film the pre-accident scenes, because, dude, if it was me, I’d have a month and a half of beard… ---

Couldn’t have said that better, myself. Sawyer’s nice to look at, as is Sayid, but if I’m forced to choose between a badass who _might_ have a heart of gold somewhere and a bona-fide hero who might have a few problems … I’m going with the good guy. My childhood crushes were Luke Skywalker and Clark Kent–I prefer good but whiny over hot but dangerous any day. And I’d pick Boone before any of them, but that’s just because of the eyes. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lost-9-29-unboxed-spoilers/266769.md?page=9)
