Maternity Leave
thought #1: jack is hot
thought #2a: henry gale is SO an other. look at him being tricksy and needling Locke's ego with that shit about Jack, and Locke living in his shadow. Locke is stupid if he falls for that...oh hey, Locke apparently is stupid.
thought #2b: Jack's the one who isn't sure that Gale is an Other. wouldn't henry gale want to needle Jack about Locke so Jack does something, not badger Locke? Because even though Locke wants to DO something, that something would probably be handing him over to Sayid or something bad-for-Gale like that. it's like Gale is trying to push Locke to buck Jack's decision when Jack's decision is probably the only thing keeping Gale safe...
thought #2c: I know a lot of people don't like jack being "leader" or making decisions, but seriously, when it comes to gale, what other choice do they have? it's kind of at an impasse until something breaks it. locke didn't have any other ideas when jack asked him, so i wish locke would quit getting all pissy about it.
thought #2d: if this leads to jack getting screwed over again, i will be pissed off as all get out. they need to find another way to propel the story forward that doesn't involved someone doing that.
thought #3: eko with the weird cut-off-the-beard-prongs. wtf? but he clearly thinks gale is an other, without a doubt. way to go, eko. i love you. also want to find out what's up with the trees he's marking and cutting down.
thought #4: claire was funny when all drugged up, i actually liked her a lot more than usual in the episode, though i like her usually, so...whatever. she was just funny.
thought #5: libby's voice...what is up with that? does anyone else think she talks weird or is it just me?
thought #6: sun thinking she's pregnant? who didn't see that one coming a mile away? but asking sawyer for a pregnancy test? funny to think about, but seriously. if he just "happens" to have one in whatever stash he has left, i will have to wonder what crack the writers took.
thought #7: go ana for taking some action with the henry issue in the next episode. next to sayid, i thought she'd be a natural choice to weigh in on whether or not to believe the guy.
thought #8: i know the things going on on the island are more important, gotta go with the story, etc. etc., and i like that about the show, but seriously. if someone doesn't fuck jack soon i'm going to get upset. man needs some action!!!
thought #9: emication noted sawyer's hair. good call...pretty...and jack/claire would be cute. way better than locke/claire (ewwwww) or charlie/claire (totally over it).
thought #10: first flashbacks that flash back to the island and not before! pivotal moment in the series, i say.
thought #11: jack is hot.
claire episodes seem to be the turning point of the seasons, it seems. season one was fantastic but after "raised by another" and her return in "homecoming" is when it got completely addictive for me. this claire episode was really, really good, i thought. now we have to wait like two weeks for a new episode or something, don't we? arrrrggghhhhh.
