go fly a kite
Boy, last night's "Lost" sucked.
I'm not the only one who thought so.
I think I threw up a little bit in my mouth when I saw Bai Ling and her obvious double-sided tape utilization on the beach. Gross. What the hell does this do to move the plot along? And why didn't they give us any more info about Cindy and the kids? And could I care less about Kate and Sawyer right now?
I hate to say it, but it was a waste of an hour.

I've been trying to think of what the three mysteries were, as well, Coke Bref...
Jack's tattoos = #1
What happened to the kids = #2
...but I can't, for the life of me, figure out what #3 is. Plus, we never REALLY learned what happened to the kids, other than they ain't dead.
(But yes, they've got us by the nads. Still love the show, damn it.)
i thought the episode was pretty good actually. the only thing that gave me the willies was that jack got his tattoo by some prostitute in the sex tourism capital of the planet - thailand. that was pretty revolting, but i think the tattoo may have an over-arching meaning in "you walk among us, but you are not one of us". i think this could be indicative of some reason that those peeps are on the isle. like maybe they all have some characteristic that sets them apart from society so they were brought to the island. .. i dunno. i think the third secret that was revealed was either that the others live on the same island as the losties, OR something to do with the "watching" going on by the flight attendant that jack went off on from his cage. i also wonder what it says about jack that sawyer was able to get a fish biscuit w/in 24 hours and he wasn't even really that curious about the machine.
not that prostitutes are revolting. it just seems so seedy to take your business to thailand - like you're trying to hide it as though it's a bad thing like those people who enslave 12 year olds to do their sex bidding. now, if you're frequenting prostitutes in nyc and getting tatted by them - that's a whole nother fucking story.
I've thought similar things about the tattoos, Scarny -- the whole "not one of us" will mean something at some point. I just thought it was lame to play the sex card and stick Bai Ling in an episode.
Also, my ignorance may be showing, but I thought they spoke Thai in Thailand -- but Isobel mentions that Jack's tattoos are in Chinese?
Good point about the fish biscuit.
Personally, I'm growing slightly weary of the Jack-Kate-Sawyer storyline.
