What a gorgeous horse, and what an enigmatic one. I was glad it was real--"What, you mean that big ass horse standing over there?" But in addition to whatever it means to Kate and the plot*, it was also a nice nod to another island castaway story, The Black Stallion. Maybe Kate will take him home and win the big match race.

*my guess being spirit of the island was showing her its approval for coming to face her demons by saying to Sawyer what she did. Of course, this also would mean that the spirit of the island interfered to help her escape the marshall long before she came to the island, but hey, what's one more coincidence/manifestation of fate?

The Internets are all abuzz about the Kate/Jack kiss, but I think she just did it to prove to herself that she didn't actually want Jack. Pretty clear she was all about the hot shaggy haired blond boy... yeah...

Also, I have not really been able to verify this, but many people are saying you see Sayid's face briefly on a television monitor in Kate's "dad's" office in a news report. Maybe it had to do with his assistance in the thwarted plot in Australia? Though you'd think the last thing he or the CIA would want would be for his face to be broadcast all over the world.

I have a Walt theory, too. Being with the Others changes people; we saw that Mister Eko feared what seemed to be the people who had been kidnapped from the tailies, and there was Rousseau's experience. So perhaps Walt is being changed by the Others, but a part of him is resisting it and that's the part that appeared to Shannon and Sayid, speaking backwards to fool the part of himself that has been changed already, looking drowned because that part of him is pretending to be dead. So which part is talking to Michael? I'd imagine the changed part, which would be bad.



There is a man on the sidewalk outside my window yelling about paying a buck fifty for a bagel. He seems rather overwraught about it. Apparently it ought to be a buck fifty for three.
