Oh wow. Way to zing me, Lost. Here I thought they were going for "Kate had Sawyer's child and Jack can't handle it because he's a selfish bastard and it's like very, very bad fanfic and I think I'm going to scream!" Until that very last word.
"Hey, Aaron." Which must mean Claire dies! Or stays on the island. So much for that vision of her getting on the helicopter.
And OMG, a fic I wrote where Kate raises Aaron is now canon. Kinda! Except for the Jack/Kate part of it. So Jack doesn't want to see his nephew because he's too sad about Claire. :-( So much for happy future fics with the Shephards. And the "him" Kate had to get back to is probably Aaron. Looking less and less likely that Sawyer makes it off the island. (And no, please don't tell me!)
I am relieved that Kate doesn't actually give birth. Seriously. I thought they might be going for "whose baby is it" angle there for a bit and keeping the triangle alive that way.
Hmmm. Hmmm. Hmmm. (Oh, and what is up with Spooning!Action!Sawyer? *joins flist in protesting lack of any kind of sex*)
Locke is such a power-mad maniac. He makes Ben look reasonable. Why *would* anyone stay there with him, other than that it feels safe?
And what happened to Sayid and Desmond?! Back straight to the mainland? Clearly, they're not dead!
And hey, now I can go watch SPN! ... er, probably tomorrow.

Locke is a freak! And a scary one at that.
And Locke is bona fide nuts. I'm kind of hoping he blows himself up spectacularly before the season is out. I don't see him ever getting off the island, for obv. reasons.
You missed some hot sawyer moments. :) And Jack looking fine in the future. (Which obv. still takes place before the events of TTLG.)
I know, right?? I mean DAMN.
I'm glad I knew forever ago that it was Aaron, or I would've been mad irked at the buildup and ready to scream. Though for me, if I hadn't known, Jack not wanting to see Aaron would've given it away that it wasn't Sawyer's kid, because so far Jack has been supportive of Kate's relationship with Sawyer because he thinks that's what she wants. I don't think he'd be a jerk about it, I think he'd help her raise the kid if it were Sawyer's and Sawyer wasn't there. Even if he was there, Jack would still go see the kid. That it's Aaron he won't/can't bring himself to see really piques my interest as to what the hell goes down with Claire!
Hmm, I was so busy being relieved that Kate didn't actually get knocked-up, I didn't think of the "raising a baby redeems her" angle. I don't know that we should consider her redeemed. Her mother forgave her, more or less, and Jack still loves her, but I don't know that she's redeemed so much as just "surviving," a la Sawyer. Why, for example, isn't she as guilt-ridden as Jack about where things stand?
It's very hard for me to say where my sympathies lie after a Kate ep. I feel like I have to go through all the text for the subtext that will actually make it work for me. It's kind of like reading a fanfic with a scenario you weren't keen on, except that this is canon. It's weird because post-island Kate (with or without Jack, jail or a baby) has been ficced so much. It's weird to see the "definitive" version. And hey, I'm used to rejecting their reality and substituting my own!
I really think Claire must be dead. I can't imagine a scenario where she gets left behind but if she did that would definitely eat away at Jack. Color me very curious as to how the actual rescue happens and why there's such a deal with the devil being made! Possibly as an "or else everyone dies," kind of thing.
And go you for beating canon! ;)
I second. Though Sawyer with glasses and so-not-dressed along with leather-jacket Jack was the episode's highlight.
Locke is such a power-mad maniac. He makes Ben look reasonable. Why *would* anyone stay there with him, other than that it feels safe?
I guess houses are more comfortable than tents..? ;)
*waits eagerly for next episode, since it should make up for Des and Sayid's lost time in this*
And hee, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's ficced Kate raising Aaron!
Nearly!naked Sawyer and Jack in leather were the definite highlights. Now we just need to get them into the same scene!
Locke is ca-razy but at least he's not openly trying to kill all of them. I guess it's the devil they know vs. the devil they don't know. They all seem a bit cozy (and unafraid and not-grieving Charlie) than you'd think.
And yes, Des and Sayid next week should be good!
When I first heard spoilers for this, it was your fic that I thought of. lol.
And yes, the whole setup looked like a bad fanfic. Thank god it wasn't.
And yeah, it really did seem like bad fanfic last night. I am so tired of the triangle, at least the way they write it. Kate's character always suffers the most. I want to keep liking her but they make it so hard!
Locke is a loon..seriously can you all see why I was comparing him to that Marlon Brando character--all I'm expecting is Jack to pull a Martin Sheen, and come up out of the water with a knife in his mouth.
I'm still standing by my rift theory, the chopper didn't land on the frieghter because they went into another parallel universe..or another time.
I keep getting this vibe off of Locke that he would sacrifice all of them to the island, like lock them in somewhere or poison them all..he's lost it, completely--but then again, I've never liked Locke so this is all nothing new for me.
I'm still wondering how with the spit factor alone that grenade didn't go off.
Locke is totally a loon. I love that Sawyer actually called him Col. Kurtz! I don't get why he's still helping him, other than it beats *certain* death elsewhere. It's like playing with dynamite though. You know Locke's gonna blow sooner rather than later. And he would absolutely sacrifice them all. He's got that madman's gleam in his eye.
I'm a bit disappointed that's not the last of Miles. He's so boring/irritating. I guess 4 mildly interesting new characters was too tall an order to fill!
I agree that "him" of the S3 finale is Aaron, I'm more and more convinced Sawyer stays on the island.
and, no sex, but Sawyer was hot! :)
And yeah, Sawyer's really the only main character left (besides Locke, who we know is never leaving if he can help it) to stay behind.
Sawyer was smoking hot. MMMM.
I wonder if/when Jack and Claire will find out they're related. Cause right now, that's the biggest question I want answered. Screw the smoke monster (it's only a demon anyway).
And ha, great icon!
As much as I loathe the love triangle, I do applaud them for not doing the whose baby is it storyline.
I don't know how to read Jack there I really can't see him leaving Claire behind but he sure is damn guilty about *something!* I could imagine that he's sad over her death and that's enough to keep him from wanting to see Aaron. Then again, the main points of that scene were a) to keep Jack and Kate apart, again and b) to keep the idea alive that the baby was Sawyer's and that was Jack couldn't face it. Although it would be awfully petty of him, if true, so I'm glad that's not the case! (Unless, you know, Sawyer was the love of his life, LOL! )
As soap opera-esque as this was, it could have been worse, definitely!
I totally missed the no sex night thing. I'm slower than usual this morning (I watched the show about an hour and a half ago), so I'm surprised to hear we're supposed to believe Kate and Sawyer didn't have sex. It just doesn't add up. They're hot for each other, they've had sex before, they're in the same bed wearing very little clothes, what's stopping them? The pregnancy=death thing? It's not like either Kate or Sawyer couldn't think of fun, hot, satisfying alternatives to baby-making sex. It makes no sense to me whatsoever.
I think Sayid and Desmond are off to Ben's evil overlord* second camp, where they can wait until the whole Oceanic Six story is ready.
*see what I mean about being slow? I shouldn't be commenting or writing considering I only got about three hours of sleep last night.

I totally thought Sawyer and Kate had had sex and if you look at those caps -- well, damn! She looks pretty damn satisfied. We'll just have to insert our own idea of what they got up to without going the baby-making route. ;)
Interesting theory about Sayid and Desmond!
And aww, poor, hon. I hope you get some sleep soon. *hugs*
I don't know why,but I am pretty sure Sawyer won't leave the island...
And Desmond and Sayid can't be dead!!!
Well, we know Sayid makes it out okay, at least!
I'm glad to hear their WTF! moment had its impact, since I was spoiled for it. They sure did enough setup of the fakeout since the last episodes of Season 3 to make us believe Kate would be pregnant. (Which is why I didn't really believe they'd go there, I guess.)
But yeah, the way they write Kate. Urgh.
And oh yeah, they've been planting the "is Kate pregnant" thing for ages. I'm glad this is the payoff because we've had quite enough knocked-up women on Lost!
Yay for surprises and WTF moments!
