Heart palpitations

Ohmycostanzas do I love me some Sawyer.

Seriously, how stick-a-pin-in-my-jolty-heart good was he this week?

And how BAD are the Others as liars?

OK, well, I should rephrase. I was just as horrified as you all (that's right, own it, you were shouting and throwing your Mac 'n' Cheese at the TV set, you know it) when Benry shook that bunny to seeming death. All I could say the entire rest of the episode was, "He killed the bunny. He killed the bunny. He killed. The bunny." I mean, forget torture and human experiments, kidnapping, infiltration, bribes, coercion, beating of Sawyer, tricking of Sawyer, cutting into Sawyer's beautiful chestâ?¦ the thing that made him utterly, irrevocably evil for ALL TIME was the killing of the bunny. You know it.

And still, they DID paint an 8 on the bunny, which is almost as cruel. So, if you have bunnies with 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 (I know I'm missing one) on them, one of each number on each, and put them all in the crazy teacups ride at Coney Island, will their magic jigger explode the universe?

Alas, Desmond was not with the nekkid. He *was* with the crazy lightning-rod-building, saving-claire's-lifeness of everything.

Here's a brain-cooker, brain-fryer, brain-wok, whatever: Why when the LOSTies look out from their Island do they not see the OTHER Island? Don't give me the "but they're not directly facing that Island" theory - if they're not, then Sayid and Jin and Sun just traveled half the dang thing and no sign of other land, soâ?¦ what's going on? We saw the plane crash, right above them - with all their hiking, SOMEONE would have been able to see a glimpse of land from SOME shore, SOMEWHERE, whether they were a Tailie, a Fusie (??), someone on the doomed sailboat mission, the loony French Rambette, SOMEONE would know that there is another Island there.

So what do they use? Mirrors? Is this all very Truman show?

And here's another cooker: Someone (we aren't told who but are nudged to believe it's Benry, and given his little soliloquy at the end of this episode I would agree) has rapidly advancing cancer. Yet Rose's cancer is gone. What's the dealie, yo? Why does Rose get the voo doo and Benry (or whomever) does not?

Other points:

-Has Kate NOT CAUGHT ON yet that they're LISTENING to her and watching her? God, woman! Then again, Benry was pretty much only looking at Sawyer. What's the deal. Does she know anything about what's happening?

-Sawyer gave lots of money to his child. We thought he was a "bad" guy coming into all this; are we wrong? Did he redeem himself there? Did he also by doing that book himself a one-way to the Island of Love?

-Speaking of Love: Kate - full of it? Full of love, or just "it"?

-How hilarious were the Others with their needle? "I don't know where to stick it! Oh, is that the sternum? I'm looking for his heart, right, so I'll just stick it right where my model says the stomach is. Don't crowd me! I'm performing surgery that to anyone with a brain would require open heart procedures, here! And when he wakes up he has to think we did all that through a little peephole in his chest! I'm under PRESSURE, OK!? If YOU'RE so smart, YOU rig up the Sawyer!"

-Talking of torture: For the love of Elmer Fudd, they made Jack watch DUCKS?

-I'm so tired of Charlie. "I'll fix the roof! I mean, rearrange the bamboo. It's a job I CAN DO THANK YOU, get out of here with your Scottish accent and penchant for nekkidness."

-Are Claire's roots finally showing?

-WHEN will Benry's lip cuts heal? Yeah yeah only been a week blahditty blah.

-Random new hot guy playing golf: Lot of angst there for not having really been there this whole time. Did we see YOU stepping up to run off into the jungle? NO. We KNOW you weren't written into it until this season but still. Don't complain when you didn't volunteer for the hard stuff in the first place.

-And, honestly, after all this I think we learned one big thing: BENRY is the weak link in them all. He's the lonely poor baby who never got affection from mama and now he's sad. Sad, sad, Benry. Watch me cry. But watch him be the key to the main three's escape.
