Whatever the Case May Be

Ever work for a website that has no Internet access for a day? It's not fun. My Friday was terrible, sorry I'm late, but here we go.

But first, a reminder -- send in your questions to questions@thelostdiary.com. We were a little short last week...

00:02 -- As Kate and Sawyer begin to disrobe to jump into the water, my mind does what it tends to do sometimes and I wonder, "How much would Lauren pay for a Sawyer/Kate sex tape?" I'm going to text her and ask -- stay tuned.

00:04 -- Dead bodies can sure kill the mood.

00:05 -- What does Sawyer think the man's wallet will do for him ... on the island? Do the Others take American Express?

00:06 -- "Whatever the Case May Be" might be the dumbest episode title in "Lost" history. Oooh, there's a case and we don't know what's in it!

00:07 -- I'm just going to say it -- not a fan of Kate's underwear choice.

00:08 -- You would think Claire still being missing leave people with a greater sense of urgency.

00:09 --  Ok, even though I know what happens with the hatch (duh?) so far the thing I am most excited about is seeing Locke and Boone work on it. I totally would have been Boone.

00:10 -- Ten minutes in, no flashbacks. Weird.

00:11 -- Ah, there we go. I am excited to see this flashback again. I feel like whenever people talk about Kate's backstory, this particular part of it is always fuzzy to people.

00:12 -- Just as Sawyer and Kate start wrestling, Lauren texts me back: "infinity dollars."

00:13 -- Shannon in a bikini. I have nothing to add here.

00:14 -- Sayid asks Shannon for help translating Rouseau's maps -- and so begins the least likely romance in television history.

00:15 -- When people make Sawyer feel stupid, I get happy.

00:17 -- I wish there was more of Rose on the show. She can be a bit one-note, but I still love her.

00:18 -- Kate grabs the case while Sawyer is up in the tree. Did I mention I love it when people make Sawyer feel stupid?

00:21 -- Bankrobber Kate is hot.

00:22 -- I could learn a thing or two about the ladies from Sayid. Or three.

00:24 -- "What else is in the case, Kate?" -- Jack.  

00:25 -- Rose is going all "Good Will Hunting" on Charlie and telling him "it's not your fault." Come one, it's a little bit his fault.

00:26 -- "Maybe I should have die." -- Charlie. Maybe?

00:28 -- There are a lot of things I would do if Kate asked me, digging up a dead body might not be one of them.

00:29 -- When Kate does bad things, I like her more. Now I understand why Lauren loves Sawyer. And by the way, do you think, as we watch season 1 again, we can pinpoint the exact moment when Kate began to suck?

00:32 -- Nobody just asks anyone for anything on the island, do they?

00:35 -- Forget what I said before -- Maggie is the one I love. She killed a BUNCH of people just then. Sometimes we forget how bad she was.

00:37 -- "It belonged to the man I killed!" -- Kate

00:39 -- "It's a fine line between denial and faith. It's much better on my side." -- Rose

00:40 -- Irasp or Waraqi? I can't figure what I would call the love child of an Iraqi and a WASP. Tough call.

00:42 -- All that for a toy plane.

I'm a little short on time this week, so I'll keep it brief.

Can't say I loved this episode the second time around, but it was solid. It is amazing all the bad shit Kate has done that we've forgotten about. She did some SERIOUS damage in that bank -- all for a toy plane. I do think it's kind of cool that we don't learn the plane's significance and who it belonged to until later.

As for on the island, this episode set some things in motion (Sayid and Shannon) and only alluded to what's to come for Boone and Locke.

Good, not great. Still though, I keep getting the same feeling each week I watch "Lost" -- it's better now than it was then.

i was reading old comments about what things we want explained and which one's we don't, and i need to clear something up.

Libby was explained just about as best as she could have been. She was a tertiary character and didn't need futher explaining.

She was in the nut house because of the death of her beloved husband. If you watch season two in like the last two episodes it has her talking to Desmond at a coffee shop where she offers him the sail boat that eventually took him to the island. Boat was named Elizabeth, after her of course.

She was depressed and maybe she became suicidal to the point of ending up in the same nut house as Hurley.

Would have been interesting to have her and Desmond meet up in the island again, too bad she died the day before Desmond came back on the sail boat pissed off that he ended up at the island again...now THAT'S a bigger mystery.

hey, i dont think kate killed those guys..she purposely shot them all in like their legs and arms. So unless they bled to death, she didn't murder them. I think the camera panning across all of the other bank robbers squirming on the floor was confirmation that she only injured them.
