Well... certainly in the sense that she comes from old money and the "upper class". In terms of pure net worth I don't know - but Hurley's might be higher with the lottery win. As to her child... i was suspicious from the beginning. no idea really because i'm not clear on the timeline of her affair, and of just "how pregnant" she is... that may become more apparent but without sophisticated tests they may not know... and without more flashbacks and a time reference, we may not find out. unless the kid is the spitting image of one of the two "candidate dads".
Yes she is. I am appreciating Sawyer more in this season, although we get glimpses of his softer side at the end of S2, when after the deaths of Ana Lucia and Libby whom Kate even worked to try and save. Around the memorial, we see Sawyer cradling a grieving Kate in his arms. My impression of the "fight" was that Sawyer expressly staged it. He wanted to test the mettle of his captors... and he did. I smiled when he gave Kate a detailed report of their strengths and, especially, their weaknesses.

my thought was simply that any boat in the hands of the wreck survivors represented a threat to Ben - a threat that they could find the Others' camp and ...who knows what. It seems they are in fact outnumbered. Certainly a rescue attempt could be made.
even though i don't follow sports including America's National Pastime, I still thought it was cool this particular event was chosen.

yes this is a biggie. I ind that some other back stories provide emotional hints, or tie in later with another "piece" of the same story. So i am always attentive to them... I feel unable to gauge their overall importance because it may not be immediately apparent.

yes, the break from the sadistic captive treatment was much needed.

The polar bear stuff messed me up! In the beginning, one was killed and soon after there seemed to be some relevance with Walt drawing a polar bear. Walt has been said to have odd powers. Walt is gone. So now an extraneous polar bear seems to refute the previously implied link between Walt's thoughts/drawings and the otherwise inexplicable presence of such an unlikely creature on the island.

I may have missed a snippet here. All i recall of this was Desmond saying the key was like a safety valve.

S3 Episode 4 - "Every Man for Himself"

Desmond is figuring things out about the island and the electromagnetic stuff. I liked the "golfclub" experiment that elicited an instant thunderstorm with lightning that promptly struck the club.

------------

The nasty pacemaker trick on Sawyer was awful. I also wondered about the island that Ben showed him, and wondered whether what he was saying was true. In one sense, I wondered if they were not, in fact, on the original island, and the island they could see from the high clearning were not the "Alcatraz-like" islet... or another island. In another sense, It occurred to me that "the" island could itself be curved around like a crescent... tightly enough that from one tip extremity you could see the other but not the connecting land... less likely. But my head dreams up all sorts of things.

S3 Episode 5 - "I Do"

I MISSED THIS COMPLETELY - all repeats!

I had found transcripts at some point... I will try to find them again and read this episode transcript over the weekend.

==============================


S3 Episode 6 - "The Cost of Living"

I missed the beginning of this tonight. I shall probably try to catch the beginning on the late night repeat so that I get all of it, including may be some snippets of the last episode which I never saw. I don't want to wait till Monday to have to see the beginning bits.

I liked this episode. I liked seeing that "our folks" made some headway. It was about time Sawyer and Kate quit the reciprocal con act that they didn't give squat about each other too. I was frustrated with Kate for not communicating better when Jack is offering them an escape window. They have some serious leverage at this juncture.... USE it ... tell Jack what is going on.... Make them provide safe passage...etc... I was screaming at her inside my head. On the flip side, I was quite surprised at what Jack did in order to win that edge.

I was quite surprised at the flashbacks of Kate getting married... to the cop played by Nathan Fillion. A cop? What WAS she thinking.

~ waves ~

OMG! Nathan Fillion is so easy on the eyes.

I fell in love with him on "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place" when he was brought in to play the dumb, good looking guy (2001).
Before that he was a on a soap (One LIfe to LIve) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92SMdJScbsw
and did a good serviceable job but let's just say he had not grown into his looks yet. He has looks to spare now.

M

Ohhh yeah, and I'm sure not just the eyes........ glub. slurp. Sigh... Oh my....

I first saw him as Caleb in the last season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He played an evil priest... and lemme tell you he was one HECK of an evil guy. comparable and beyond Somerhalder's Damon-being-bad on TVD. Woww.

Then I saw him in a movie where he had a sumptuous affair with an abused woman... he was her doctor it was kinda creepy... and now in Castle - ever seen that? sigh. I want to slap Stana Katic (Det. kate Bennet) upside the head for not just grabbing him and.... well ... and everything. Of course they don't usually because in these "working pair" shows, the sexual tension is partly what retains audience.

~ waves ~ now drooling... i wonder what my heartrate is.

LOST - the night repeat - should be coming on any minute now... really, it should already BE on!!! they are late!!! GRRR. the last thing i need is i am distracted and miss the beginning AGAIN!!!! rughh.

I am posting this to keep track of where your episodes are.

I think I am three behind.
I am watching on Netflix so I hope to catch up. I might fast forward a little (but probably not . . . this stuff is so addicting.) I do hate most of the flashbacks . . . dunno why . . . . we get some background stuff that is apparent now and occasionally apparent later . .. BUT WE DO NOT MOVE THE PLOT FORWARD -- that is my gripe about them.
O.k., no griping. Back to watching.

Waves,

S3 Episode 4 - "Every Man for Himself"

I used to watch these so closely. I remember asking two guys at work about the 5 iron that Paulo is willing to let Desmond take. I wondered if it is not needed as much as other clubs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_(golf)They probably gave me a b.s. answer to look like they knew something.

I like the Sawyer episodes but this was more violent than it had to be. We cannot tell if it matters who is in charge of the others.
I like Jack and Juliet together, maybe because this is a new pairing. It was sad to watch Jack pounding on Colleen's chest to resuscitate her.
Kate gets her clothes back.
Episodes with Sawyer have more literary references than others.
The idea of a possible second island . . . it looks like total reason for despair.

I watched Season 3 Episode 5 "I Do" but will not write about here because you have not seen it yet.

I fast forwarded Season 3 Episode 6 We're not quite in Portland.

1) Locke talking about Ecko and the "monster"
2. There is mention of Jacob's list
2) the Nate Fillion and Kate scenes,
3) the end when Jack tells Kate to run.
