Nope. I fully expected to discover that he was the baby's daddy.

We may actually have a love pentagon on our hands – I forgot Ben has it bad for Juliet.

Was I the only one hoping that Sawyer was boning the dead Dharma guy's widow and that she was actually preggers with his second Clementine?

I was really dreading the Sawliet hook-up since they've been hinting at it, but I agree with most that it was surprisingly satisfying to see both characters happy. But here's to the inevitable Love Rhombus or perhaps Love Parallelogram…wait, are all love rhombi parallelograms but all love parallelograms not rhombi? Oh that polyamorous geometry!

Thanks, Taryn! I don't mean it in a mean way – Chewy rocks! The timing around the commercial breaks would annoy me a lot less if it weren't for the music – they're overusing the "BWAMP!"

I'd love to see Sawyer reject Kate, but I have a bad feeling Lost will go for a tawdry love rhombus between Sawyer, Kate, Jack, and Juliet.

John has a theory that the four toed statue is somehow Locke. From the back, it looked like it was holding a cane. But, it also looked like it hat cat ears. Who know? Maybe Locke will become an anthropomorphic cat-god!

I'm like Sawyer with the nicknames.

You know what I don't hate Sawyer, and he has grown, I mean I don't like him either but you are right. Even still, Sawywer is a con man at heart(in my mind at least) and you can't trust him. I will always be on Team Jack. I love that he tries so hard in what ever he does and that he has such a big and open heart. Jack I do like emoish characters but what evs. Of all the men on Lost Sawyer has always intrigued me the least. Give me Sayid Hurley, Ben, Locke, or Desy Des any day.

Heh. No worries. I mean, Juliet annoyed me at first, too. My friends and I used to call her Smirky McSmirksalot. But she's grown on me.

That was Sawyer back in, what? Season one? He's grown past that behavior. I can't see him doing that same sort of thing anymore.

well, Aaron is a kid, so someone has to take care of him. I don't see what's wrong about this. I mean, she is a bit obsessive but it never bothered me. And Jack, I think Jack is way cooler than Sawyer. Sawyer is mean and insulting and an all around asshole. He took 90 percent of the items of a crashed plane and horded them and didn't care what happened to anyone else. They should have really thrown him out. Yeah Jack's fucked up, but he always tries to do the right thing and he's saved a lot of people. And yes Juliet was taken captive by the others in a way, but she was still an other, and her role within the others is still vague. As far as helping the 815's. She has helped the as far as it helped her. I mean, Locke, for one, is at least half insane and he's paid for not sharing many ties. Juliet just doesn't say anything and no one cares, it just annoys me. if you like Juliet that's cool, but i hate her character, the performance is good but, errrrrrrr she just annoys me.

Juliet's been kept captive by Ben and The Others for three years, and she's been doing what she's needed to do to survive. Once she joined the survivors of Flight 815, she's done nothing but help them. And as for not telling them everything she knows? Well, neither does Locke. And he's NOT an "Other." I think that both what's written for her, as well as a layered performance by Elizabeth Mitchell make her continuously one of the best characters on the show. Meanwhile, Kate does nothing but "go back for Jack" or blindly take care of Aaron. She started with an interesting, complex backstory that went absolutely nowhere except to a lame love triangle that ended up not bearing any fruit.

Ummmmm…? What!? Juliet is not cool. She's a lying, cheating and duplicitious terrible character. She has had tons of inside info about what is going on on the island, but she almost never chooses to share. She could have at least apologized for being another. They should have beat her the minute she arrived and opted to not explain everything she knows about the island!! She's an other!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus, Juliet and Sawyer have no chemistry! Watching them kiss was just plain weird. I bet you she betrays them. Seriously!

Lisa you kill me- awesome article! Completely agree with you on every point and you are so right: "The only couple I was excited to see reunited in this ep was Sawyer and Hurley. They belong together like Han and Chewie" . Why have I never thought of that analogy?? (well maybe because it's mean to think of Hurley as a wookie but still). The only thing that really annoyed me in this episode was a recurring pattern I see in the writing where they seem to be writing the scenes based around the commercial breaks. There is always the perfect little end cap and button for each pre-commercial scene and it is driving me bonkers! Anyway, the Richard/ Sawyer scene was my favorite and I love how they threw in the joke about Richard's eyeliner (Nestor swears its natural!), showed Sawyer's true evolution into a leader. He has bloomed like a flower! La Fleur! did I really just write that?

AMEN, Lisa!!! I LOVED this episode for the exact same reason. I've never hated Jack until the end of last season, but Kate's been getting on my nerves since season 3. Seriously – Sawyer and Juliet FOR THE WIN. As Sawyer was talking about whether three years is enough time to get over someone, I harshly whispered at the screen "And Juliet's cooler than Kate!!" I hope he laughs in Kate's face in two weeks.

In other news – FOUR-TOED STATUE?!!!!! When are we getting back to that?

And, if Kate ruins Juliet’s happy thing with Sawyer, I hope the smoke monster gets her.

YES. Damn her.

Although I have to say, I lurrrve Jack and Kate, just for the fact that they're so effed up. It's become very soap opera. And people who are still holding a torch for Kate/Sawyer need to put that down because at this point, the Jack/Kate relationship is a black hole of emo and anyone who strays too close will get sucked into oblivion.

Sawyer's happy. Juliet's happy. I'M HAPPY.

And I agree, Juliet is pretty effing awesome.
