This is the first episode I've genuinely liked since 'Greatest Hits'. I've been very heavy hearted going into S4, I've missed a few eppys (side stepping the eggs!) My enthusiam hasn't been so low since the S3 mini-season.

But this ep was so exciting and refreshing! I loved Desmond, Penny, Sayid and Faraday. I was glad of a break from Kate and Team Locke too. And there were ANSWERS!

Can we say...bring on the Desmond/Sayid slash? Actually I'm too sold on Despenny as constants too ship or slash Desmond with anybody else. But Desmond - PLEASE! - think about your poor lil brutha Charlie soon okay?

[janie_tangerine]

Wasn't this one great? I totally loved it! And at least Charlie was addressed, which was much better than the last two episodes.. and after that Kate dump I really needed myself some good, old Des. And well, you know. That phone call totally makes me a Des/Penny shipper if I already wasn't, but the slashy Des/Sayid vibes here were something strong. I'd bring that on, I mean, at least it'd be hot ;) About the pairing Des with someone else than Penny, it's an interesting matter. IVMHO he ultimately loves her and she's his only target/object of affection in the long run, but I also think that given determinate circumstances he could go with someone else. Apart from the Des/Charlie which is another matter entirely and has its reasons which I guess you'd know better than me, given the right background I can buy Des on the island with someone else, if anything because after you've been alone (or with Kelvin, which is exactly the same) for all that time and believing your girl has forgotten you, I could see him betraying Pen momentarily.

Oh my! That is a gorgeous Chesmond icon!

I think Desmond will think of Charlie again soon if only as a *groan* plot device. Desmond needs a reason to leave the Freighter and go back to the island. You would think Des would want to stay OFF the island now his reunion with Penny is so close. However if he needs to go back to make sure the Claire/Aaron helicopter vision happens since this is what Charlie died for. I can't think of any other reason he'd go back.

[janie_tangerine]

About why he'd go back, I have half a theory.. it doesn't comprehend the Claire-Aaron thing, but anyway. Minkowski there said that Penny has the boat's number and that they're not supposed to answer their calls. Given that he was telling the truth, but I don't think he could have been lying seeing the state he was in, IMHO means that Widmore sent the freighter or is among the people who sent it with not-so-good intentions. Des is probably going to find it out in the next episodes and knowing that Penny is searching for him on her own and spoke to Charlie so she has an idea of where he is (and anyway in the end of LTDA the two guys had tracked the island), he'll probably go back because he waits for her to rescue them, IDK if it makes sense. I have had this idea that Penny goes to the rescue of the not-Oceanic-six, or that she goes to the island when the Oceanic 6 go back, but IDK how should I fit Claire and Aaron into this, especially with the Kate mess *groans*..

ITA on just about everything! (Especially the HoYay and the Desmond pretty.) I just hope Daniel has repented of his past - I have a big problem with torturing animals just to see if you can get abstract theoretical physics problems to work out. The bastard.

Of course, it looks like past!Daniel and future!Desmond (or vice versa) have switched looks...

[janie_tangerine]

About Daniel, I'd be safe to say he probably forgot it. But he was young, maybe the hair cutting was a sign of repentance? I hope, the animal thing wasn't really a highlight for him.

The Desmond pretty! LOL it'd be safe to say!

[aussiephil]

You know what else just occurred to me? Where the hell is Desmond's boat? It hasn't been seen since the Others swiped it.

[janie_tangerine]

You're right... that's a question, the hell is it? I don't remember if the Sayid party left it after the shooting or if they got back to camp with it? Did they show it at all? *iz puzzled*

[aussiephil]

No, Team Others sailed away on it after the shooting. Remember when Sun jumped off into the water so she wouldn't get shot? That's the last we ever saw of it.

[janie_tangerine]

Oh, right! Geez, I really don't remember a thing about that episode :/ probably it was because of the heavy Sawyer/Kate percentage and because it was before Further Instructions which totally is my favorite S3. Mmmh so if Team Others got it it should be on Hydra Island I guess, it's not like they can anchor it in Otherville.. duh, maybe Richard & co are using it? Or maybe not since this Temple they're going to probably isn't on Hydra. Duh, I miss Richard. Maybe it's just anchored somewhere and they're going to get it later in the season? *ponders*

6. Military? You totally weren't suit for it. But I love you anyway.

Ah ah! Grande verità. Beh, un po' come il convento. DESMOND, NON NE IMBROCCHI MAI UNA! XD

8. Juliet, you are owning, this season.

Juliet, in quanto Altra, è figa e intelligente di default ;-)

Ah, scusa se ho sconfinato ma... in questo momento di piena scimmia per Lost non ho resistito! ;-)

[janie_tangerine]

Sconfina pure, a me fa solamente piacere ;) LOL il mio povero amore non ne azzecca una ma lo amiamo anche per quello, no? ♥

Juliet è ASSOLUTAMENTE una figa. Io la amo.

[vividly]

Wow... this episode was amazing!! I couldn't believe when it was 40 mins... I just want more!!
I tend to always like the Desmond episodes though, he's one of my faves.
And the plus was very little Kate and Jack... episodes are always better without them :D

[janie_tangerine]

Neither do I, I so loved it! Des is totally my fave with Sayid, so his episodes are my drug ;)

And well, I kinda like Jack, but not when in Kate's proximities, so Kate-less was definitely a momentary relief... ;)
