No response to my PM from Kid Chaos yet, and I'm ready to get going again, so s3 e2 is GO!
*gasp!* Shame on Sun-tot, lying like that!!
Colleen is a new face/name.
g--AAAAAAA---aaaaa----AAAAAAAAAAA---aaasp! Sun *DID* bump uglies with hotel heir bald dude!! Well, well, well--! One can hardly blame her for falling into his charming (and, added a few moments later: well-chiseled) clutches, but this certainly puts a new spin on Sun. Why is this episode putting dirt on her character? She must be going to do something pretty shocking before it ends...!
Sawyer's "How dare you?" ... *giggle*
The "rock gardening" is already on my nerves. What is the effin' point of THIS? And slave-driver/Colleen-kisser guy is annoying as heck although it is amusing me whenever Sawyer calls him "boss"...
SPOTTED: a super-dreamy no-name member of The Others chatting up whaterface from last episode!! Why he could have been lifted from excellently-coiffed dreams!!
LOVED Sawyer fighting back! I would tell all of those assholes to go break thier own effin' rocks, I don't care how much you frickin' shock me and you can only kill me once.
Shitsnacks! I *knew* they'd get to the boat first!!
DUH!! You shoulda watched the boat, Sayid! Rookie mistake! Meanwhile Sun shoots Colleen, Good. I'm tired of our peeps being the ones getting killed.
Sun escapes (thank all that's sacred... I'm kinda worn out on kidnapping bullcrap)... and we lose yet another boat.
Benjamin Linus... has lived on the island ALL his life? WOW. I'm guessing that is 40 years at the least (which co-incides with 70s). Hmm.
I am TOTALLY charmed by Jack becoming completely mesmerized by the Red Sox game... rising and walking over TO it and staring--! That may be the sexiest non-intentionally sexy thing I have ever seen!

And since you all have me curious about episode 3:
*rolls eyes at Locke's mute game of charades* And if I was Charlie I wouldn't be going NEAR Locke after the beating he gave Charlie.
And FINALLY Charlie calls him out for that crap!! Of course, as sweet as our little Charlie is, I am sure he will help Locke.
Don't think I missed that "guest starring Ian Somerhalder" on the screen because I did NOT!
What's Locke doing picking up hustler-looking hitchhikers? That can only lead to having your glove box rifled through...
AND what is the deal with the homemade drugs? WTF?
BOONIE!!!! Holy crap, he looks pretty!!
WHOA-- the airport trip scene was suitably freaky!
Umm, did Locke really have to do all that to figure out he might need to go check on the condition of Eko, post-hatch-catastrophe??
Oh Lordy!! John's fallen in with some kinda free-love hippie commune cult!!! At least we know he escapes it at some point!
Yeesh! So much for spending anymore time in the hatch, that place is real gone, man!
Whoa-- Hurley almost ate knife!!
ASIDE: Don't polar bears, like, need COLD weather to survive? Isn't that why they ARE polar bears?? I guess this is a case of polar bear progeny adapting to the enviromment or something... I hope it is explained adequately at some point.
My WORD-- they kinda pushed what they could get away with in showing nekkid Des chatting up Hugo, didn't they? Goodness.
Way to ruin everything for the pot commune, John!
Shades of THE DESCENT! Polar Bear's cave looks a lot like a scene from my favorite scary movie of the 2000s! Bear's eaten a LOT of humans from the looks of it.
Paulo and Nikki! Nice to meet you at last. *rolls eyes*
So now they want to play up some metaphysical "THING" with Desmond and Hugo having deja vu.
I'm also curious where the flashbacks lead next for John, this episode's flashback tale was compelling.
re: the ISLAND... I don't really know what to make of anything anymore. Can someone PLEASE confirm for me that all of this is explained satisfyingly in the end? No spoilers necessary, I just want to be sure I'm not being set up for a massive unexplained letdown. I like things to be wrapped up tidily.
It probably depends on your definition of "satisfyingly". And "tidily".
Does every question get answered? No. Do a lot of them? Yes.
I think to say much more would give away... maybe not plot spoilers but experiencing-the-show spoilers.
FWIW, I found it best to engage with this show more on a character level than a plot/island-mystery level. Not that I didn't love the plot/island-mystery too.

I'd say that's there's a kind of general explanation for what's going on, though how every little bit of the mystery fits into it is definitely left open to interpretation.
Here's two more Nicki/Paulo scenes which were inexplicably deleted from the ep. (careful you don't read comments!):

Re: the Polar Bears, I think you're supposed to infer that their survival on a tropical island is the result of Dharma experiments.

I don't think any inference is necessary re: the Polar Bears.
Click Here For A Spoiler Their origin is explicitly explained in that special post-series finale mini-episode - The New Man in Charge. One of the disappointing things about that episode actually. Why did the writers waste time explaining stuff that any intelligent LOST fan would have already figured out when there were so many other bigger mysteries still unsolved?
Edit - Oh you mean how they actually survive in the tropical climate?
Hmmm, I don't think Polar Bears specifically need cold weather to survive. They just prefer it. In fact there's a Polar Bear in a zoo in Mexico that's in the news at the moment because some activists want to free it. It looks about as bedraggled and unhappy as the island's Polar Bears do but it's still alive after 20 years in the Mexican climate.

I think I can handle self-interpretation of lots of the mysteries as long as there is indeed a general explanation for what the heck is going on, in the end. I will check out the clips (sans comments) and probably watch episode 4 when I return from an annoying errand.
If I was a polar bear in Mexico, I'd be pretty freakin' unhappy too I suppose!

I've seen contradictory stuff on how long polar bears can survive in a tropical climate. Still, if an explanation is needed, Dharma experiments work for me.

So I've totes been watching a bunch of season 3 over the past couple of days and, despite a couple of weaker episodes early on, it is totally on fire in the second half of the season!
And, yeah, that whole Locke/Sawyer ep... some of the most powerful stuff ever on the show.
