LOST:
i am so conflicted. this past episode "la fleur" was a very good episode. we learned that sawyers group on the island is now stuck in the 1970's, right in the middle of the dharma initiative's heyday. sawyer formed a big lie to keep his group safe (SOUND FAMILAR, OCEANIC 6?) and they are now working members of the DI. not only are they members of the initiative, sawyer is pretty much one of the head honchos. we also meet amy, who gives birth (thanks to juliet!) on the island to a boy. and we now get to speculate who the boy is, because it's obviously someone important. popular guesses: ethan or desmond.
so why the conflicted feelings? i'm not buying the juliet/sawyer relationship. i thought their first scene where he convinced her to stay on the island was really sweet, but the scene in the kitchen was very...saccharine. it's not even an issue of kate vs. juliet (well maybe a tiny little bit) but here's the thing: i like my sawyer bad, with a little bit of good thrown in. this new sawyer, is sweet and brings his girl flowers and is clean shaven. he doesn't even do nicknames anymore! so i understand that there needs to be character development and stuff, but this doesn't even seem like the same guy to me.
here's what this episode did make me excited about: the redevelopment of kate & sawyer's relationship. we got that big speech at the end about how over kate he is, and can't even remember her face, then 5 minutes later when he sees kate on the island, he is all puppy dog eyes. now, the writers have quite a job to do. they are obviously leading back to a kate/sawyer relationship but there's a complication. people (well, the internets) HATE kate. the past season and a half, she has been whiny, boring, and wishy washy. but, everyone LOVES sawyer, and they don't want kate anywhere near sawyer. which sadly, i can understand right now. but i think if the writers set this up correctly, it could be epic. i'm going to save my big theories about the two of the for it's own separate post, because this one is getting long.
FINALLY: my theories!
1. okay. so the O6 (at least jack, kate & hurley) have landed in the 1970s, along with the rest of the left-behinders. we know that young BEN was on the island in the 1970's with his father. so here's my idea: back in the S2 finale, when ben makes the list of people (the triangle + hurley) to bring back to the others, he picked them because he ALREADY KNEW THEM. FROM THE 70's. OMG RIGHT?! we know from dan/charlotte that dan told a young charlotte to never come back to the island, because it would kill her. so the 06 + left behinders (these people need a name asap) obviously have some effect on the people they come in contact with. in the future. or the past? i don't know it hurts my head to think about it too much. basically, they aren't changing the past, because it's the way the past happened. make sense? no? that's okay i'm not sure it i understand either. but i do know it makes me totes excited.

Your theories just made my head all mushy.
I don't know how I feel about Sawyer being w/ Juliette and what the heck!!! Jin was fluent in English! Before he was like "Sawyer, where we going" now he's like you or me!
I'm glad the whole episode was dedicated to those on the island.
how bout just using LBG (leftbehindgroup)??? simple, but effective,no?
Keep writing...the more you do, the better you'll be :o)))
