*There's already some dissatisfaction on the Fuselage about this episode's heavy Jater emphasis. Do people seriously think the Jack/Kate/Sawyer soap opera is irrelevant? I don't mind it one bit. I was thrilled actually when Kate stepped out of the shower and kissed Jack. I threw up my hands and proclaimed, "The Good Guys Won!" Jack then proceeded to prove himself a complete asshole. Really there was a lot of interesting subtext here with Jack once again coming across as the obsessed Mr. Fix-It, in this case trying to fix whatever it is he has left with Kate:
Sure there was no drama about whether Jack was going to survive his surgery. That wasn't the point despite some chatter to the contrary. What was really going on there was Jack using the occasion to get closer to Kate, even while Juliet was saving his life. He could have a relationship with Juliet, but that's too easy... there's nothing there to fix. (And Juliet's aware enough to recognize that even if Jack himself doesn't.) Meanwhile in the future when things finally look right with Kate he can't let himself be satisfied with that, he needs to break that relationship to have something to fix, too.
*I guess Karl and Danielle are indeed dead. Ewwww.
*I assume the smoke detector reference was a hint that Christian was the smoke monster. Some people have pointed out that the detector was beeping only because the battery was dead, but still there could've been any number of ways to get Jack to step out of his office and they went with a smoke detector. Me'thinks that is no coincidence.
*Now what exactly was Christian doing with Claire and the baby? Remember the last time we saw Christian he was in Jacob's cabin in Jacob's chair. Could Christian be taking Claire to Jacob's cabin?
*And assuming Christian was the monster, are we slowly connecting the pieces that Jacob = Monster = Christian?
*Bonus Easter Egg from last week: On the latest podcast, Damon and Carlton did indeed confirm that when Ben lands in Tunisia he breathes out a vapor, indicating he'd just come from a cold environment. Hmm... any connection to Penny's listening station in the arctic or Hurley's igloo drawing?
