LOST: Something Nice Back Home

So Jack and Kate are together in the future – the future after Hurley goes to the mental hospital, but before Jack tries to kill himself and goes to the unknown funeral. I'm glad we are getting more explanations now. Jack starts his boozing and drugging habit because he sees his dead father and because he can't trust Kate. I wonder what happens to make Jack and Kate break up. I'm glad they do break up eventually because neither dictator Jack nor liar Kate deserves to be happy. Is the "I saved you" scene the end of the relationship? Jack is so damn cocky. Get over yourself. I wanted to slap his drunk face when he was going on and on at Kate. You'd think he wouldn't be threatened by Sawyer anymore. I mean the dude is on an island that no one can find. You won, Jack, you got to take home the skank and try to make an honest woman out of her.

Future Hurley is creepy. That whole scene with him and Jack was just plain scary. Why does Charlie keep visiting Hurley? Is it even really Charlie or just a version of Jacob (if Jacob can shape shift)? How crazy was it that Charlie's message was "You're not supposed to raise him, Jack"? Just like the psychic told Claire that no one but her should raise the baby.

The whole appendectomy storyline bored me. What was the point? Other than to have Rose question why Jack got sick. Is it because he's unworthy? I think so. I mean the island heals everyone else. The island might be trying to tell Jack that leaving it is not such a good idea. It was kinda nice to see Julibitch and Kate getting along. But I don't like either of them, so I got no pleasure out of Julibitch being friendly and telling Kate that Jack loves her. Blah blah blah

Sun and Jin traveled to the medical station with Daniel and Charlotte. I don't know what it is about the red headed liar, but I can't stand Charlotte. Amanda and I figured out immediately that the bitch could speak Korean. She looked at them one too many times. I love Jin for figuring it out too. He was so badass threatening to break all Dan's fingers! Why did creepazoid smile after Jin told her that Sun needed to be taken off the island with or without him?

I can't believe Rousseau is really dead. I refused to believe it until we had actually proof. I'd say her dead body is proof enough. I hope the writers keep their promise and we'll actually get to see her back story at some point.

Once again, Sawyer proves he is THE MAN. I love this whole taking care of Claire and Aaron side that's emerged from him. Where did Christian take Claire? Why did the leave Aaron? I hope they show her again. I am going to need to grieve for my Claire if they kill her off. Amanda's theory (which I love) is that Sawyer doesn't leave the island because he can't find Claire. So he sends Aaron ahead to be safe. He feels responsible for her since Charlie is gone and he's gonna do whatever it takes to find her. I love Sawyer!!!

New Questions:

* Jack knows he's related to Aaron. How does he find that out?
* Miles could see Christian. Does that mean he's really dead? Why was Miles brought to the island? What murder or history does Widmore want him to unveil?
* The newspaper Jack picks up that mentions the Yankees/Red Sox baseball game is from August 30, 2007. I suppose this explains why Aaron looks so much older. So how much further in the future and when is the season 3 finale? I am getting so confused. DOH!
* Why is Hurley seeing Charlie and Jack seeing Christian? Are they feeling guilty about actions taken on the island? So guilty that they are channeling them into being there, even when they aren't?
* What was Kate doing for Sawyer? Why didn't she just tell Jack? I think it probably has something to do with his daughter and she went to see the baby mama.

Next week's episode is called "Cabin Fever" and is a Locke flashback. YAY! I heart Locke.
