I was just sure that everyone on Party of Five was younger than me. Maybe it would have helped if I'd ever watched the show. :/ Y’all are killing me making Foxy older than me.

Overall she liked it, but the first half was rough for her. Maigh: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0289142/" rel="nofollow">Matthew Fox</a> is 40, so I'm buying it. And <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0391326/" rel="nofollow">Josh Holloway</a> is 37 (not 35), but it could just as easily be him. RSL: I wasn’t dissatisfied, but my wife sorta was.

Lostpedia puts him in his mid 30's. Damn. http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Jack He looks it to me - but then that was an assumption.

I enjoyed it a lot. I particularly liked how the jailhouse con was a given while still retaining the mystery of who the con was actually being pulled on. I also agree with you about The X-rays being left out on purpose. It feels Lost-y. [Working on my own post right now. Just got to finish the graphic.] Maigh: I agree that Clementine might not even exist. I originally found it really hard to believe that Sawyer just took Cassidy's word for it but, considering that Sawyer's entire life revolves around seeking revenge for his stunted childhood, I'll grant him some leeway when dealing with parent-child issues. Also... Jack's 40 years old?? Really? Surely he's in his middle [ish] thirties.

I'd also venture to guess that while we're led to believe the x-rays were Ben's, they could also easily be Jack's. He's a 40 year old man. And yes, it was obvious in the last episode with Desmond's slip that he's having some premonitions he's learning to heed. Hence his silence and the shots of him looking reflective. In as much as Sawyer told Munson not to trust his wife, I'd suspect he was played the same way. Not only is Clementine not his, she doesn't exist at all (bank account ala Shawshank) I suspect that The Others little incestuous love game has gone on too long, and that Sawyer, Kate and Jack were captured for breeding.

It's long-haul stuff for the show, I'll bet. Second, I wouldn't be surprised if Juliet left Ben's x-ray out for Jack to see, or to find out that Jack was singled out of the Losties because he's a surgeon. (Or even that we was manipulated into getting on Flight 815 for more complicated reasons.) Third, the Others don't have to care if Kate chooses to stay captive or not -- she's trapped on the island. They might just assume that they can beat her down if she gets out and is inevitably caught again. Also, Desmond has no powers. Instead, I offer this: He's been to the future or otherwise out of time. His flub with Locke's speech last week wasn't that of a man who couldn't make sense of his visions, it was a guy who screwed up his cover story and said too much. His bit with the lightning rod this week was him tinkering to see if he could change the outcome of events. Carlton Cuse has hinted several times that "time should not be taken for granted." I suspect that the Others have information of certain people (e.g. Jack) that goes beyond the present. They did all this research on Jack and Co., maybe, because they knew they would reach the island. [<i>Cue Ominous Music.</i>] First, I wouldn’t expect the stuff with Penny to pay off soon.
