* "You will be under a microscope." And is that why you're holding her arms like that in front of a window?

I'm guessing so, yes. With Sam and Sophie on the island and Christine and Paul back in the US, this is going to a very messy love... whatever. I get why they had to introduce Paul and I totally get Sam/Sophie (because damn, there's something between them that makes me root for them instead of Sam/Christine...) so I guess it's inevitable but I wish they'd leave it at that with the shipping. Because I totally do not get King/Tani. What's the point of that? Just because someone thought they needed a bit of "gone native" trope? Grrrr.

Also, I feel some Cortez fic coming on...

a love saltire. ;)

I like Sophie - she's very expressive facially.
(though half the time when they're interupted, even if Sam and Sophie are on opposite ends of the room, I imagine the person walking in's thinking "am I interupting something?")

>Just because someone thought they needed a bit of "gone native" trope? Grrrr.actually, I have a feeling that, if anyone's gone or going native, it's Sophie (and this ep was a great way for her to impress Sam about the glories of the Island)...so the question is if Sam is going to want to leave the Island (or rather, if he's going to return after leaving with Marcus ( ... )

That looks about right :D

(though half the time when they're interupted, even if Sam and Sophie are on opposite ends of the room, I imagine the person walking in's thinking "am I interupting something?")

!!! I totally agree :D

so the question is if Sam is going to want to leave the Island (or rather, if he's going to return after leaving with Marcus)

That's a really interesting question, actually. I mean, they will have to resolve this whole mess at one point and in my head, there's no happy ending for Sam and Christine currently :( I keep thinking about the emotional repercussions and all the things they probably won't be able to talk about and maybe resentment and probably estrangement, too...

I think - and pray I'm right about this - is that the shipping isn't the point of King and Tani...their point is that they are there to pick each other up from the depths

I could live with that. It would make sense. Like, more of a friends with benefits (or maybe potential allies with benefits) thing than a real ship.

I didn't know it was a saltire - didn't even know it was called that. (thought it was just "the X on a flag")

>I mean, they will have to resolve this whole mess at one point
...and the clock will start ticking once the military stand-off is resolved. as soon as it's even moderately safe to travel, it will get worse for Sam & Christine, the longer Sam hesitates to leave the Island.

(would he stop in to see Christine on the way to attending Marcus' trial? it not, would she count that against him, knowing the strength of his loyalty to Marcus?)

>I could live with that. It would make sense.
> thing than a real ship.
exactly.
granted, King&Tani runs into the same issue Sam&Sophie do: even if we know they're not in a ship, and even if they know they're not in a ship...other people might think they're an item.
