Message: <blockquote data-quote="LightPhoenix" data-source="post: 3388596" data-attributes="member: 115">See, the recreation is the best part, because that's when they can write characters actually interacting pretty well.  Hurley/Sawyer was my favorite part of the episode.Contrast that with Kate/Sayid/Locke, who barely talk to each other at all, and when they do it's a stilted version of it because the characters need to be dumb to serve the story.  It seems to me that the mythology ends up precluding the character interaction, and that should not be the case at all.  There should be a happy medium in there somewhere, and there isn't.That said, the triad of Kate, Sayid, and Locke doesn't seem to mesh well.  Perhaps this is because these characters don't really interact much.  This holds more true when we consider Sayid, who really doesn't interact with anyone, and the people he does have links to end up dying - see Shannon and Ana-Lucia.  Similarly, Locke lost Eko and Jack isn't there; Kate doesn't have Jack or Sawyer (or to a lesser extent, Sun).  So it's in part a weak pairing.  There's potential there, but it's not built up enough to really ring true.Even so, neither Kate nor Sayid should be dumb enough to discount Locke's lunacy to the point of leaving him alone, especially considering they established in this episode and the last that they both think he's a little off his rocker.  You would think Sayid and Kate would at least mention the C4... although Locke has always gone and done his own thing.  Another reason not to leave him alone!  It was a sloppy portrayal of Kate especially, whose character they've pretty much destroyed over the last two seasons.Danielle leaving... could go two ways.  It may have been a plot contrivence, in which case that was sloppy.  What I'm hoping (and hoping we find out soon) is that Danielle knows a lot more than she's letting on, and left for a very specific reason.</blockquote>
