I've been so looking forward to the show taking a good Skatey turn again, not only because I'm a hardcore shipper and wanted to see it, but because I looked forward to you being able to write about it again. Don't get me wrong, the recaps are always top-notch. But there's nothing like a good old fashioned Skate ep to bring out Old Skool Fish. :) You nailed what makes their dynamic so great, and why it's going to keep heading that way in the future.<BR/><BR/>I also love that you're keeping track of all the inconsistencies and unaddressed questions.

I know it's too early for any hints of romance, and it will be a long time before we get to see them hot and heavy, but don't tell me the phallic imagery of this shot was entirely unintended."<BR/><BR/>The above made me bust out laughing. That ones a stretch Fish, we been watching those phallic imagery for many years now.<BR/><BR/>Man, Cassidy is one bitter person. I detested that she turned Sawyer's heroism into a getting away from Kate act. Too bad motherhood did not do the same for Cassidy that it did for Kate. And how is she living so high on the hog if she did not use the money Sawyer sent to her after he got out of prison?<BR/><BR/>Poor Jack, he can't catch a break no matter what he does. Only been a little over three years since he operated on Ben. I guess I have a dark side, I was glad Jack said no. Seems to me he has been used and abused by everyone. <BR/><BR/>There has to be something up with the bullet not even showing an entrance wound on the left side and the tape on Ben's glasses changes too.<BR/><BR/>It will be interesting to see if Smokey does have something to do with healing Ben, I had thought it did not as he was the security guarding the temple. It was what is inside the temple that is being guarded that I want to see.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recap Fish - you made it very intersting.NanXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231559902572975942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542720484561493051.post-14362736495442959852009-04-05T17:02:00.000-07:002009-04-05T17:02:00.000-07:00You hit all the right notes with this review Fishb...You hit all the right notes with this review Fishbiscuit. Thought-provoking analysis of this very enjoyable episode. Doing the right thing regardless of knowing the eventual outcome was definitely something to take away from this ep. I loved the automatic reactions from Kate, Juliet and Sawyer when it came to Ben's life on the line. It was important to them to do all they could to save his life, because he was a seriously injured, helpless child. Their hearts were absolutely in the right place, even knowing who Ben would become. The thought crossed my mind too that mechanic Juliet is getting away with a lot in Dharmaville considering she's doing her best to perform miracle surgery whenever it's required. Wonder if that will ever be questioned?<BR/><BR/>The "destiny express" making its way towards Jack is a good way of putting it too. It is what he's doing, the opposite to how he was on the island previously but he's still not getting the right balance, is he? Interesting 'hallucination' you've provided for him too. A slug is very appropriate for him at this moment in time. ;) <BR/><BR/>Several great points in this review too - never thought about the "newbie" or the "drunk" having the keys to the jail. And I never noticed the bullet in Ben switching sides! I also have wondered what Richard's story is - even with the mystery and the fact that he is connected to the hostiles, he still doesn't seem dangerous to me. Guess we have to find out more about what's going on with him.<BR/><BR/>Finally, your take on Kate and Sawyer in this ep is perfect - of course, I don't expect any less from you! Evi was great in her portrayal of the heartbreak Kate has experienced, both in her loss of the man she loves and in the obviously devastating loss of Aaron. It's about time Kate got that "upgrade" to make her happier again - and I can be patient until she does get it - because it appears like it is on the cards for her at some point. Can't wait! <BR/><BR/>- MidnightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542720484561493051.post-12921406086637916912009-04-05T16:59:00.000-07:002009-04-05T16:59:00.000-07:00I enjoy your recaps very much, although I don't no...I enjoy your recaps very much, although I don't normally leave comments.

I loved that you reminded us what a parent feels, how Jack's self absorbed intellectual exercise was heartless and ultimately futile in doing anything but causing Ben's transformation into the 'monster' everyone reviled in the future.<BR/><BR/>And I totally believe that if the future is written, and you know that it is, then all you are responsible for and can control is how you choose to conduct yourself. Jack got an epic fail on that test IMO.<BR/><BR/>I have no idea why people think he's becoming more like Locke. Locke believed in the island, but he also always acted on what he thought was best for both the people on it, and the island itself. He didn't sit around, detached, and refusing to take action in case it was he was wrong in what the island wanted. Look at what happened at the end of season 2. He caused the hatch to implode and even admitted he was wrong. He's been proactive from the start, knocking out Sayid and destroying the transceiver because he believed that they were meant to be there, and shouldn't bring the outside world to the island. Even when Boone was dying, he didn't just shrug and go, Oh well, the island wanted it that way. He carried him all the way back on his shoulders to get him to Jack in order to try and save him. He took a leap of faith and descended down a well, and even offered up his own life in order to save his friends who were dying of the time flashes on the island. Jack? He's not taking a leap of faith, he's digging himself a hole, a bunker. Hunkering down to wait for some big cheesy destiny sign to blink on, the rest of his friends and comrades be damned. Every man for himself. Ironic, I think.<BR/><BR/>I loved that the recap reminded us that the episode was an ode to Kate and Skate, finally giving Kate a voice again, some agency and independence. It reminded us that this woman loves, she cares, she wants to do the right thing. She's made some in roads on growing up. Cassidy helped her face herself. Jack did not feature at all in helping her grow as a person. She turned to Cassidy instead for the reality check, for the shoulder to cry on, for the emotional bolstering that Jack could never provide being the self absorbed twat that he is.<BR/><BR/>Yes, there can't be any full blown romance for us Skate fans yet, but we are finally seeing some emotional pay off, and the foundation being laid for a stronger, more unbreakable romantic bond between Sawyer and Kate going into the next season.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486133333644399829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542720484561493051.post-88921617257255822772009-04-05T13:30:00.000-07:002009-04-05T13:30:00.000-07:00if you turn up the volume on the episode where saw...if you turn up the volume on the episode where sawyers jumps you can hear what he says<BR/><BR/>"I have a daughter in Albuquerque, you need to find her.
