Worst Game of Three-Card Monty Ever

[phamos]

Meh. Kate sucks. Her flashback episodes were always crappy and boring -- now her flashforwards are, too. Jack being all mooney over her didn't help, either. She's a moron to leave Sawyer behind. And to hit him for just saying what everybody knows -- that she uses him because (for whatever reason) she won't let herself be with Jack (possibly because he's a useless doofus) -- made me kinda hate her.

This episode definitely confirmed to me that there's serious time issues going on with the island. The helicopter hasn't gotten to the boat yet. They get back to civilization and enough time has passed that people believe Kate could have produced a son Aaron's age. (Kinda dumb reveal...sucks to be Claire.) Didn't Kate's mom say she'd been given 6 months to live 4 years ago? How soon before the crash did Kate visit her mom in the hospital? That's gotta be important. I'm starting to think that Lawnmower Pilot was definitely talking about the SECOND Red Sox World Series in that convo with Jack last episode. I'm not quite sure how the time difference doesn't affect radio communications, but whatever. Anyone trying to apply real-world science to this show is wasting brain cells.

What's the deal with Corporal Pansy's memory issues? I'm way more interested in that than Kate's suckitude.

Best line was Hurley's "You totally Scooby-Doo'd me, didn't you?" To go along with last week's two best lines, "the boat brought us another Sawer" and the "breakdancy thing you do with your legs" bit. I also enjoyed Hurley watching Xanadu. I would totally watch a sitcom about Hurley and Sawyer as roommates on a deserted island.

When are we going to see Michael, gol dang it! Every time I see his name in the credits, it drives me crazy.

Now that Desmond and Sayid are off the island, Josh Holloway is picking up a lot of slack in the man-cleavage area. I am fine with that. More Josh Holloway chestage, please.

Locke's mental breakdown grows tiresome. Ben's secret evil off-island millionaireness is slightly tantalizing, but not really. I kinda want to know the significance of him having the name "Dean Moriarty" on one of his fake passports, but whatever. This episode pretty much went nowhere.
