Lost

Err... the "marshall" (presuming the guy that the redneck took the gun from and the one who was escoring the prisoner are the same guy) isn't dead. He's the guy with the shrapnel wound.

There's definitely more to the lead female character; she took the redneck's gun away from him like it was a toy, and the marshall-type defintely thinks she's dangerous -- enough that his first words upon waking were to ask where she was and try to warn the others about her.

There are enough characters and interest there for me that I will keep watching (dvr, we do Smallville at same time).

I like the twists etc...

I am a bit upset about the 8pm time slot and watching people "take drugs", my almost 5 year old goes to bed at 9pm so I do not think she should be seeing that (I get enough guilt from Smallville's kissing).

Am I the only one who thought that the bear was more likely an albino brown bear rather than a polar bear? If I was in the tropics, it would be my initial theory. It's more likely than a "lost" polar bear.

Or a spirit bear. Actually, googling brings up this page on polar bear genetics, so someone who taped the episode could confirm what it is. (Ah, the wonders of the internet.)

Also, stevelabny, thanks for the shoutout about it airing Saturday.

Was no one else surprised/bothered by the guy taking the polar bear out with a handgun?

Bears are incredibly difficult to kill, especially when running toward you. There just isn't much soft vulnerable area in a head on view.

This guy was lucky, an amazing shot, or the bear died because he visualized the bear dying and the island responds to thoughts. Or the masters of the island needed the others to trust him/owe him their life (backfired) or something.

Knowing little about bears or hunting or guns, I'd be bothered if he took out the polar bear with a single shot. But he didn't; he took five or six shots to kill it. I can buy that.

So as I was watching the replay tonight, I noticed something that adds to the "responding to thoughts" idea.
The plane started having trouble right after the lady was talking to the doctor (Jake?) about how she was afraid to fly. Also, she was extra nervous because her husband was in the bathroom at the time (and how come he hasn't been mentioned since?).
Also, I was in the bathroom when the scene with the comic book came up. Do we have confirmation that there was a polar bear in the book? Or does it just look like a polar bear?

Kissing? Woah nelly, there have been some scenes that are just a bit beyond kissing. Not that it bugs me, but some of the other stuff is a bit more risque. (ie: lana in the shower, clark struting his stuff every season or so, etc.)

Now, I really dig Lost - but as with Hal, Smallville takes priority and until I can figure out how to record a digital signal on my computer and watch another channel, Smallville gets me viewership.

Screen cap attached. Tis a white bear. From the comic book the kid was reading.

Nice pic capture...

Yes Smallville goes further then kissing showers, slight nudity and some bad words (at least for our family) especially Lois--she is foul mouthed . But my kids LOVE it and I let them watch it so I am kinda stuck now. It is my one "bad" show I know I shpuld not let them watch but I do.

But since I have DVR I can watch Lost when I am able to.

Lost did not air Sat PM due to football here, sorry Tampa peeps who missed it.

I was also surprised the Sawyer (the "Redneck" according to Sayid the Iraqi) took out a bear with the handgun. Bears are difficult to kill even with rifles. He was very lucky or else something else was going on.

I think it likely that Sawyer does, indeed, have extra clips and he will now keep them quiet until he needs the gun again. I didn't find the scene about disabling the gun to be at all surprising because, well, its Hollywood.

I ought to point out that there is no guarantee that there are no other guns on the island. For starters, there could have been a sky marshall on the flight. There is also no guarantee that the Marshall with Kate was the only armed law enforcement official on the flight with a prisoner. My pet theory regarding this is that we'll find out that there was another Marshall on the plane and that he's dead leaving the question of who else might be a prisoner. Sawyer implied once already that Sayid was a prisoner by observing that he was sitting near the back of the plane with his hands under a blanket and that the guy next to him "didn't make it". Eventually, I think we'll find that Sawyer was right. They seem to be setting him up to have a lot of suspicions that people dismiss but which turn out to be more accurate than everyone thinks.
