Another week, another episode of Lost, as I’ve actually managed to see several commercials for this episode, so maybe that means it’ll be something special.
But more importantly, I’d like to take a look back to the mailbag to see what kind of responses I got asking for possible theories regarding the island and where the writers could be going with this.
“I got a question, maybe even a theory. Do you think Hurly is in anyway involved in why they’re there? I ask because we have seen every major player on the show have at least one episode of character flashbacks (some, like Charlie, have had two episodes) except him. They keep making him seem to be a major supporting player but all he’s done is offer encouragement. Are they waiting to surprise us with something from him?
I got two theories, both very cheesy.
1.) This show is a dig at Survivor. This is a twisted reality show but the islanders don’t know it. The dead aren’t really dead, they’re actors. The polar bear is fake as is the guns. The plane crash was staged but they don’t know it (it would be fun to guess who’s an actor and who’s a contestant). Everything will be revealed in the last episode in a few years.
2.) Remember the Twilight Zone episode “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street?” (you can take the original or the UPN remake) Same thing here, except on an island.
Thanks.”
Okay, I bought the Hurley theory at first since they were going to have a Hurley-centric episode as the “season finale”. But since that plan has apparently been ditched in favor of a “super-sized” season, I would normally doubt that Hurley is involved with the plane crash in anyway. I have given in and indulged in some spoilers, however, and I am aware about a few things regarding some of the characters on the island including Mr. Hurley himself.
Theory #1: This theory is very, very cheesy. Although it might seem cool when they’d pull it off, it would likely piss off a lot of fans, perhaps in the same way as St. Elsewhere did with its finale.
Theory #2: I can’t tell you much about this theory because I’ve never seen that episode of the Twilight Zone (I don’t watch much of those kinds of shows like the Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits, I’m sheltered, I know), but I’m sure that it’s an interesting theory because, well…it’s The Twilight Zone.
“Hey John,
What kick in the gut to the audience for the death of Ethan. I always love the
“Bad Guy gets his comeuppances” moments in TV/Film but Charlie’s action ruined that joyous moment.
I think you are right with the writers writing themselves into a corner and pulling a now “when in doubt kill the guy who knows the answers” trick from 24.
The splitting of people on the island probably means that one side will go leave. They will venture into the centre of the island where they’ll find out more about the preivous survivors RE:the French lady”
Yeah, it’s usually a good thing when the bad guy gets his comeuppances these days, especially in newer TV shows where it can be extra awesome or extra gruesome, or both.
Killing Ethan did reek of something 24 would do, but the point is that they had no reason to kill Ethan, really. At least not yet. Sure, Charlie needed to protect Claire and everything, blah blah blah. But what could they possibly do now besides the island schism? And I think that it is obvious one group will head to the center of the island, since the water is swallowing the island bit by bit as it is, there might not be beach for much longer.
John,
How’s it going? Everything on this show is incredibly confusing but I believe I have figured out how the plane crashed. In the episode revolving around Michael and Walt it became pretty clear that something awfully strange is going on with Walt. When he visualizies things in his head they seem to somehow occur in real life. This was what Locke was describing when he said Walt should use “The Mind’s Eye” when attempting to throw the knife into the tree. Walt visualizied the impact in his mind and it became true in reality. Similar to this situation was when Walt was visuallizing the birds that he was studying for class saying “You’re not looking, you’re not looking” and that exact bird goes flying into the glass window and dies. This leads to my theory. It seems like Michael did a poor job explaining to Walt why he was taking Walt away from Australia and his so-called family. Walt was obviously distraught and probably wished that the plane would crash so that he wouldn’t have to leave Australia. Little did Walt know that by using the “Mind’s Eye” he was causing the plane to crash. It seems like many of the character’s stories are rotating now and I think the another episode of Walt and Michael’s story will occur towards the end of the season and reveal this secret. Thoughts?
Okay, that’s a plausible theory, simply because Walt is one of the weirdest characters on Lost being involved with one of the best badasses in Locke. I think it’s a little extreme for Walt to wish for the plane to crash since he didn’t want to go to Australia: Walt is portrayed as such a bright young man that surely he should’ve known that the plane crashing wasn’t going to bring him back to Australia. Not a bad theory, though, and anything is possible.
And now, it’s on with the recap!
Previously, on Lost: Dr. Jack busts his father for drinking on the job, the job of a doctor, and basically killing a patient through medical malpractice in the process. Kate reads a letter from Sawyer and figures out that not only is his name not Sawyer, but he wrote the letter to the confidence man who happened to be called Mr. Sawyer. What does a confidence man do? Have sex with mommy and steal daddy’s money. Unfortunately, the letter was never delivered to Mr. Sawyer, so the Un-Sawyer became Sawyer. If that makes any sense.
Speaking of things making no sense, welcome to Some Random House as we kick off this episode with a woman teling someone to wake up and a loud bang on the door followed by a scream on the other side of the door demanding that it be opened. A woman tells a small kid (her son?) that “he’s here”, and then wants him to get under the bed and not move or make a sound while under the bed since “he’ll” still think that the kid is with his grandparents. The banging and screaming from the door continues, as the kid goes under the bed and the mother rushes out to open the door. The man thunders against the door several times as the woman screams at him to stop trying to bust down the door and screaming at him, asking what the hell he’s doing. The woman tells the man that she’s going to call the police:
“What the hell are you doing with a gun?”
Famous last words of Mommy Dearest, apparently, as a gun goes off and a body hits the floor, much to the shock of the little boy. An ominous tone plays as the man approaches the bedroom door of the boy. The door opens and the man steps inside, takes a look around, and then takes a seat on the bed right above the boy. The boy is scared out of his mind, of course, and he draws a breath as the gun cocks…and the man shoots himself.
The Un-Sawyer snaps awake, calmly bewildered as his eyes open. He hears a series of growls in front of him and grabs a flashlight to check on what it is, and it turns out to be a gigantic boar, right at his feet. The Un-Sawyer takes a swing at the boar with an international object, but the boar freaks out and takes out one of Sawyer’s panels on his “tent”, charging off with it as The Un-Sawyer gives chase. Sawyer makes it into the jungle, but the boar is long gone. He turns back around to head back towards camp, but as he turns his back, he begins to hear whispers behind him. The whispers continue as Sawyer looks around the jungle for the source, but much like the boar, the source is…
LOST.
And now, a word from our sponsors…well, when I read the preview about a boar taunting Sawyer, this was not quite what I had in mind (if you want an idea of what I did have in mind, picture Looney Tunes). Solid beginning, and I think one of the whispers was actually something that could be heard, but frequent rewinds have garnered nothing but whispering. The best I got was “Don’t come back ever” or “Don’t come back alone”. Whatever.
At Sawyer’s Humble Abode, as he’s rooting through his loot. Sayid comes up and tries to clarify the story of the boar taking the top of his tent. Sawyer is pretty sure it was a boar, even if it was a little dark. Sawyer tells Sayid that the boar was in his tent because it was staring at him, so it came at Sawyer, he hit it and the boar ran off into the jungle…with his top. “Perhaps he wanted to go camping.” Sawyer is getting a little annoyed, but Sayid is enjoying himself. Sawyer invites “Muhammed” to laugh it up, but if he finds his stuff missing, he’ll be coming after Sayid. What’s that supposed to mean? That kinda came out of nowhere. Sayid goes to walk away, but Sawyer stops him, and then asks what he heard after seeing the Frenchwoman, since Sayid said he heard voices in the jungle. Sayid says that he was injured and exhausted, however, so it might not have been for sure. Sawyer asks again, and Sayid confirms that he thought he heard whispering. Sawyer is looking for particular words, and now Sayid is wondering if Sawyer heard something. But Sawyer becomes all cool now like he didn’t hear anything.
Flashback time, as we go to Some Random Seedy Hotel Room, with Sawyer tumbling into bed with some random woman. Things are about to get downright nasty when another voice speaks up inside the room:
“Okay, this is going to be really awkward.”
A man turns on the light in the hotel room to avoid further embarrassment, and Sawyer recognizes him immediately as Hibbs(?). Hibbs apologizes to the woman since he thought Sawyer would be alone, but he just needs a few minutes. Sawyer dismisses the woman down to the bar, despite the woman’s wishes, and gives her a kiss on the way out. As the woman leaves the room, Hibbs commends him on finding such beautiful women to work his grift…but Sawyer grabs Hibbs and pushes him up against a wall. Sawyer was fairly certain that he’d kill Hibbs if he ever saw him again, so what is Hibbs doing around Sawyer’s hotel room. Hibbs just wanted to make things right, though. And besides, it’s well known that Sawyer ain’t the killin’ type. Except when it comes to big god damn polar bears. Sawyer releases the stranglehold on Hibbs, and Hibbs takes an envelope out of his jacket and says that that envelope makes them even for the Tampa job. Sawyer doesn’t think anything could make them even for the Tampa job, but Hibbs lets Sawyer know that inside that envelope are the known whereabouts of the real Sawyer. As Hibbs makes a drink, he explains how he found out about the real Sawyer–one of the regulars in a bar down in Sydney got a little bit too drunk and started spilling his guts about his “glory days as a grifter”. Frank Duckett is the man. He ran the romance angle, as has been explained before: But where Frank went wrong is when one of his marks took a gun, shot his wife and then blew his head off. All in front of the little boy. That would explain the first flashback. So why Frank Duckett? Well, that is the artist formerly known as Frank Sawyer, the moniker which the Un-Sawyer has put on himself. Sawyer finds a picture of Sawyer and stares at it long and hard…
…after that rather long flashback, we are back with Jack and Kate as Kate thanks the Good Doctor for letting her use a gun again. The others knew there was a marshal on the plane, so there hasn’t been too much suspicion raised about the guns. Dr. Jack locks down the suitcase once again, putting it back in its regular hiding place. Turns out that Jack got all the guns back except for one, and Kate knows immediately that it’s the one and only Bear Killer Sawyer. So how is Kate going to get the sixth gun back? “Speak his language.” Dr. Jack understands the vernacular, but he remembered the last time this happened, they made out and it then turned out that the Un-Sawyer didn’t even have what Kate wanted. Kate only made out with him, of course, because torturing didn’t work. Dr. Jack scoffs, and then just wants to forget about it, saying that it’s not worth it. Dr. Jack doesn’t want Kate to owe him anything, but Kate has that sly smile in her face.
Moving on to Charlie and Claire, as Charlie is doing…something…I’m not quite sure what. Anyway, Claire had some dreams with Charlie in them, to which Charlie apologizes for, but Claire would like to take a walk with Charlie. But once again, he apologizes for he will be unable to fulfill such a duty, since he is doing…something. He doesn’t even know what he’s doing. Charlie takes his leave, which is fine with Claire.
Back with Sawyer In The Jungle, as he stumbles upon the lost top for his tent. Sawyer bundles it up, but on his way back to replace it, the whispers continue again, including that distinct one: “Don’t come back around us.”(?) Here comes the boar again and now Sawyer is on the run, forcing him to drop the tarp to help him speed up. But the boar gets him and knocks him into the mud, as he calls the boar a “son of a bitch”.
And now it’s Sawyer and Kate at Sawyer’s Boar-Wrecked Abode as Kate can’t believe that a boar managed to do all of that. Kate doesn’t think a boar would attack Sawyer for no reason. “Thank you, boar expert!” That was a good one. Sawyer thinks the boar is harrassing him, so he grabs the gun and loads it. Sawyer is going to get even with the boar, but Kate can’t believe that he’s even considering it. He should just go tell John to kill it, but Sawyer disagrees: This is Sawyer’s fight. Kate doesn’t have any faith in Sawyer, however, thinking that he’s going to get Lost…or worse. What, like life as we know it worse or Jake 2.0 worse? Ba-dum-ching. I’m not here all week. Sawyer wonders why Kate cares, but turns out she doesn’t. That’s fine and dandy like sour candy to Sawyer, as he’s got some revenge to tend to. Can you see the common theme emerging between the flashbacks and the “real-time” yet?
No? Well it’s time for another flashback as we go to Some Random Harbor. Sawyer is walking along the dock of the bay, as he walks into an employee’s only door past a welder. The Australian accent of the man who identifies Sawyer signifies that we’re in Sydney now, as the man explains that he did some jobs with Hibbs back in the US. “Nice enough fella.” “He’s a son of a bitch.” The man breaks down some rules for Sawyer: Australia doesn’t allow citizens to carry handguns, but if Sawyer should get caught with the gun, he’s not going to rat the other guy out. Sawyer knows the score. The gun is handed over to Sawyer and the man gives one more warning: If Sawyer should find out he’s not a killer when he’s pointing a gun at Mr. Sawyer, there’s no refund. Sawyer doesn’t see that as a problem as he locks and loads the gun.
And now, a word from our sponsors…Rather long segment, that was. Pretty interesting though. I’m sticking with this one a little bit more than the first Sawyer episode, even though I have a feeling that the first Sawyer episode will have the better ending. Just a hunch.
Back with Charlie, Hurley and the Late Ethan Rom in the Jungle, as Charlie thanks Hurley for the help but hey, Charlie killed him, he can bury him. “Yeah, until he rises up from the dead.” Okay, that’d be screwed up, I don’t know if Hurley should even joke about that. Hurley knows that this is going to end with them running through the jungle screaming and crying. Zombie Ethan will catch Hurley first because he’s heavy and he gets cramps. Charlie just starts digging without a word, and after a few beats Hurley asks if Charlie is okay. No response, so Hurley just keeps on digging.
Switching to Hurley and Sayid at the Beach, as Hurley walks up and asks if Sayid ever got the Gulf War Syndrome. But that belonged to the other side. What’s the one when you’re all shell-shocked, though? Post traumatic stress disorder. Yeah, this easily reminds me of the George Carlin bit about that. Hurley asks if Sayid ever had that, because he’s worried about Charlie. Charlie killed a guy with four bullets to the chest, after all. Maybe Sayid should have a talk with him.
In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the Sawyer hunts tonight as he finds a track in the mud. Looking at it like an inquisitive Locke would, Kate interrupts his train of thought by saying that it’s a footprint, and judging by the distance between steps, she’d say that they’ve been following Boone for an hour. Or perhaps Charlie. Sawyer is touched that Kate would take such an interest in his affairs, but she shouldn’t take it personally when he tells her to “get f–” But Kate cuts him off, dodging a bullet from the FCC as she tells Sawyer that she wants carte blanche, and he’s going to need her help to track down this boar. Sawyer has managed, over the course of the past few hours, to follow the tracks of humans and other various non-boars…the Un-Sawyer truly is no John Locke. So. Anytime Kate wants something, Sawyer has to hand it over, no questions asked. Sawyer swallows his pride and agrees to the deal…
As we jump ahead in time as Kate and Sawyer sit by The Fire. Sawyer takes a drink of Grandpa’s old cough medicine, as Kate asks Sawyer where he managed to wrangle that up. Turns out that Sawyer found the liqour cart before the Good Doctor could. Kate wonders if there’s any of that alcohol in there with her name on it, but alas, Sawyer has not given her carte blanche yet. Kate asks if that’s a no, but Sawyer answers with a solid line: “Alright, sassyfrass.” The delivery makes the line, trust me. I was laughing at this one for a solid 30 seconds. Anyway, Sawyer wants to play a game for the drink: “I Never.” A way to get to know each other better. For example, Sawyer knows that Kate’s never been to college. If she had, she would’ve heard of “I Never”. Slick. You say “I Never (finish the sentence”. If it’s something you’ve done, you take a drink and if it’s something you haven’t done, EVER, you don’t drink. Sawyer starts: “I never kissed a man.” Kate 1, Sawyer 0. “I never implied that I’ve been to college when I never have.” Kate 1, Sawyer 1. “I never been to Disneyland.” No drinks. Sawyer can’t believe that. “I never wore pink.” Kate 1, Sawyer 2. Somehow Kate knew it. Kinda freaky. “I never voted Democrat.” “I never voted.” Kate 1, Sawyer 3. “I never been in love.” Kate doesn’t believe that, but Sawyer ain’t drinking. Kate 2, Sawyer 3. “I’ve never had a one-night stand.” Kate 2, Sawyer 4. Sawyer took a nice swig, since he had to take a drink for each one. “I’ve never been married.” Kate 3, Sawyer 4. “I’ve never blamed a boar for all my problems.” Kate 3, Sawyer 5. “I never cared about having carte blanche because I only wanted to spend some time with the only other person on this island that just don’t belong.” Kate 4, Sawyer 5. Jesus, that was a long one. “I never carried a letter around for 20 years because I couldn’t get over my baggage.” OOOOOH. Kate 4, Sawyer 6. “I never killed a man.” Kate 5, Sawyer 6…make that 7. Looks like Sawyer and Kate have something in common after all.
And now, a word from our sponsors…okay, now I bet you’re wondering why I felt it necessary to script out that entire game. 1. I have no life. 2. I have no life. 3. I make pointless lists during commercials.
Back to the flashback with the little boy, as we jump ahead to the part where the Man Takes A Seat On The Bed. But instead of a man taking a seat, a boar stands in his place with the whispering voice of “Don’t Come Back Around” or whatever. Sawyer twists and turns and Kate startles him awake.
We’ve returned with Kate and Sawyer in the Jungle, but now there’s an interesting twist: The boar has rooted through everything…belonging to Sawyer. Kate’s stuff is fine. Sawyer is frustrated, but he hears a sound in the jungle. Sawyer scrambles for the gun and points it at what’s about to come between the bushes: John Locke. Calmly eating a fruit and knowing he’s not about to be shot, John greets the both of them and then asks what happened to the campsite. Kate turns to Sawyer…
…and we skip ahead a bit as Kate asks Locke what he’s doing out in the jungle. Locke is hunting for salvage from the plane wreck, which is a lie lie lie lie lie. Kinda. Locke thought he’d say howdy when he picked up the trail. Sawyer takes a sniff of something and then lets out a retchid groan. “Peed on my shirt. Took my shirt out and then peed on it.” Kate explains to John about Sawyer’s Boar, which gets a “uh-huh” from Locke. Sawyer notes this is the third time the boar has attacked him, but Kate thinks that it’s get Sawyer’s scent, doesn’t like his cologne. Sawyer denies he wears cologne, but Kate knows best. Sawyer thinks the thing’s got it in for him, but Kate tries to bring him back by bringing up that it is, indeed, a boar. I’ve never heard the word boar used so much on prime-time television. Locke mentions a story regarding a relative who died falling off the monkey bars and breaking her neck. Locke’s foster mother blamed herself for not watching her too closely, so the mother stopped sleeping, eating, and the neighbors got to talking. Anyway, about six months after the death of the relative, a golden retriever walks right up the driveway, right into their house, sits down at the floor, and looks right at the mother on the couch. After a minute of the staredown, the mother bursts into tears at the beautiful dog before him. The dog slept in Jeannie’s room and slept on Jeannie’s bed until Locke’s mother died five years later. And then, the dog disappeared to wherever it was that the dog came from. So, was the dog Jeannie? “Well, that would be silly. But my mother thought it was.” Thought that the dog was letting her off the hook. So what’s the connection with the boar and Sawyer?
It can only be answered in a flashback. Sawyer is in the middle of Australia (nowhere), and he walks up to an out-of-the-way snack shop. He stands in line, but only to glare at Frank Duckett. Sawyer steps up to the window, and when Frank Sawyer finally looks into Sawyer’s eyes…he doesn’t get the response he expected. So Sawyer gets the shrimp with the hot sauce instead of the shrimp with the mild sauce. Frank Duckett turns his back, so Sawyer loads the gun. Frank Duckett makes small talk about nothing as he cooks the shrimp. Sawyer’s hand shakes with the gun inside of it, as he introduces himself to Frank as “James”. That’s an awesome name, by the way. Frank turns to deliver James the shrimp with hot sauce…but James is gone. Moving to an Aussie bar, as Sawyer takes a drink. Not going to bother finding a real name here. Sawyer wants another drink, and another barfly encourages the bartender to do it. The barfly doesn’t want to hold his hand out, but he’s misplaced his wallet. So Sawyer tells the bartender to set him up. The barfly gives cheers to Sawyer. He then asks Sawyer what brings him to Sydney, which gets the answer of “business.” So the barfly…who looks a lot like the Bad Doctor, turns to Sawyer and asks if he knows why they call Australia down under. “Because it’s as close as you can get to hell without being burned.” Sawyer doesn’t budge with laughter, but he invites the bartender to leave the bottles. Sawyer asks the barfly what he was all about in the States, and indeed, it is the Bad Doctor. Dr. Shepherd tells Sawyer that it’s just fate: Some people were born to suffer down in Australia. “That’s why the Sox will never win the damn Series.” Whoops. Dr. Shepherd talks about his son, saying that he does what’s in his heart and that he’s a good man. Maybe a great one. Right now, though, Jack assumes that he feels hated by his father and betrayed by his father. But what Dr. Shepherd really feels is gratitude and pride for what he did to the Bad Doctor. Took more courage than the Bad Doctor had in the bottom of his glass. Dr. Shepherd could call his son and tell him all this, tell him that he loves him, but he doesn’t. Why? “Because I am weak.” Dr. Shepherd wonders if the business that Sawyer has will ease Sawyer’s suffering, and Sawyer confirms this. So what is Sawyer doing in a bar drinking his sorrows away? Sawyer scoffs and explains that it isn’t that simple. But Dr. Shepherd thinks otherwise…unless Sawyer wants to end up like him. Outside the shrimp bar, Sawyer pulls the gun out again, loading it…
And now, a word from our sponsors…well, you gotta cut that flashback somewhere, because that was a long one. But good. Good to see the Bad Doctor again. Can’t wait for the conclusion.
Charlie Is Breaking Melons and here comes Sayid. Charlie keeps working as Sayid just stares at him. Charlie understands that Sayid is there to check on him, and Sayid reminds Charlie that he killed a man. But Charlie finishes that by saying the man killed another man, kidnapped Claire, and strung him up and left him die. Charlie would do it again if he had the chance. Sayid tells a story about a policeman who lived next door to him in Tikrit. One day his car was rigged with a bomb, but it killed his wife and three yonug children instead. Sayid volunteered to be on the firing squad for the man who did that to him, and he did it without a single morsel of remorse. And then, Sayid found himself regretting it. And the same will be happening to Charlie, soon enough. Charlie asks for suggestions, so Sayid reminds him that he’s not alone, so don’t pretend to be.
We go to Kate and Sawyer in the jungle as Sawyer entertains the idea that the jungle will make a nice shopping complex or auto mall someday. Kate finds a hole in the mud–a wallow, where a boar sleeps. Kate thinks that the boar is around somewhere, and the squealing of the boar might as well confirm that. But it turns out that Sawyer has grabbed a smaller boar. Sawyer is still happy, because he knows Daddy has to be around here somewhere. Sawyer tries to flush the boar out by letting the younger one squeal and yelling out “Here, piggy piggy piggy!”, but Kate takes offense to that and finally kicks Sawyer in the shin after a few moments, letting the younger boar get away. Kate tells Sawyer that he’s sick, but Sawyer doesn’t think that he hurt it. Kate walks off and invites Sawyer to find his own way home. “No problem.”
Flashback time, as we go to the Shrimp Shack with Frank Duckett and James, as James sneaks up on Frank Duckett, yells out “Sawyer”. Frank turns around and gets a shot right to the chest, as he slumps up against the dumpster. James starts to read his letter, but Frank Duckett doesn’t know what Sawyer is talking about. Turns out that Frank Duckett borrowed money from Hibbs, and hasn’t paid it back yet. That’s right. James has the wrong man. Womp womp. But now he’s dead. Before dying, Frank tells James that it’ll all come around.
Back with Sawyer in the Jungle, as he trudges through, looking for a way home. He calls for Kate, but finds the boar. Sawyer draws his gun and gets ready to fire…as Kate watches. Sawyer stalls…stalls…looks into the boar’s eyes…and uncocks the gun. Sawyer darts his eyes over to Kate…”It’s just a boar.” Sawyer wants to go back to camp now.
And now, a word from our sponsors…Two very nice scenes back-to-back. I’m lovin’ it like McDonalds.
We return as we see Jin and Sun sorting out a net in the background…pulling around to Claire on the Beach. Moving along to Walt playing with Vincent, Michael and a random survivor helping with the building of the raft…as Charlie joins Claire on the beach. Charlie offers to take that walk now, and Claire agrees. They talk as they walk…
…while in the jungle with Jack and Sawyer, Sawyer draws a gun on Jack and tells him to “stick ’em up”. Jack isn’t fazed at all, and Sawyer reveals it as a joke as he hands over the gun to Jack. Sawyer explains the deal he made with Kate, but Jack wonders what Kate gave him. Sawyer says that it wasn’t anything she wasn’t willing to part with. Jack sighs…
“That’s why the Sox will never win the Series.”
Sawyer asks for Jack to repeat himself, and then asks what the hell that’s supposed to mean. So Jack just says that it’s something his father used to say, so he could go through life knowing that people hated him…instead of taking responsibility for it he just blamed it on fate, said he was born that way. Sawyer asks if Jack’s daddy was a doctor too. Indeed, he was. He’s dead now. Jack asks Sawyer why he wants to know about his father…but Sawyer goes back into cool mode: “No reason.”
And that’ll do it. End show! Alright Sassyfras!
Yeah, definitely a transitional episode. But it was about Sawyer, so it’s all good. Flashbacks were a lot more in-depth than they seemed to have been lately, too. The writers are a-cookin’ somethin’ up. Weird episode.
And reading through some stuff at TVtome.com:
“IT WILL COME BACK AROUND.”
Finally, I know what it says. But wait…does this mean Sawyer is going to bite the bullet soon? Man. That’d be terrible. Especially after dedicating two very solid episodes to him.
