Message: <blockquote data-quote="Negative Zero" data-source="post: 1784279" data-attributes="member: 3794">right when the bear showed up, i thought that the manifestation was triggered by more than fear. at that time anger seemed to be the most prevalent emotion, so it could be just strong emotion. then again at the time, i hadn't noticed the polar bear in the comic so imagination could work nicely too. i have to say that the pregnant woman does seem the most likely candidate for the spoiler tip. ... at least so far. i'm also tempted to suspect Locke (despite my earlier comments <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) even though he was clearly shown on the plane. a couple of things bother me. this simplest one being that on their return, Jack, Kate and Charlie mentioned nothing about the pilot's fate, but after the bear was killed, the wannabe lifeguard (with the annoying sister who i can't wait to see die horribly <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />) asked if thatwas what killed the pilot. now, did the telling happen offscreen? is it a continuity error? does he know more thna he's letting on and slipped up? just wondering. also, the "polar bear" is never really shown. there are a few quick glimpses of it, but we never see it. my initial reaction, before we were told it was a bear, was that it was the dog, and i kept wondering what caused it to change like that. (of course, at this time i hadn't noticed the polar bear in the comic.) but even if it's not the dog, why not show it? it can't be that hard to taxidermy a dead polar bear, if a live one playing dead in Hawaii was too expensive. a frame with a dyed fur coat and some creative use of ketchup could have worked fine. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> i can't help wondering if it really wasn't a bear at all, but they just went along with saying so coz it didn't look like anything else. ... reaching a little, i know. then there's the kid and his "dad." somehow i don't buy that he's the kid's father. there's always an bit of awkward silence whenever some refers to "your son" or "your dad" plus he didn't know if the kid could read spanish or his age. i think he might be the dea mother's latest boyfriend or new husband. or, like my wife says, he might be the kid's father, but they're just estranged. *shrug* and the dead baby's alive again. right after eating "native food" too. ... hmmm ... maybe the korean couple are the ones not from the plane. why was he so adamant about feeding everyone? Steve, you might be onto something with the whole island food thing. oh and <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forums/member.php?u=20589" target="_blank">Sado</a><SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_1783457", true); </SCRIPT> , it seemed perfectly reasonable to be. first of all, she's female so irrationality makes perfect sense <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> secondly, trauma = more irrationality. thirdly, (and this blows the whole "she's irrational" idea out of the water, but i'm like that <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />) the guy with the gun is the only one to have actually started a fight on the island. stands to reason, no one's safe with a gun around. ~NegZ</blockquote>
