I liked this episode for the fact that it was totally unexpected what happened, but I don't like where they went with it. Sawyer was getting to be too likable I guess.
First they make everyone hate the Hobbit, now Sawyer.
What else was his "long con" chick from? I've seen her before.

Even though you are probably supposed to think that Sawyer is a bad guy, I found myself liking what he did. Jack and John have become too self righteous. People have let them take too much control. If I was on the island I wouldn't give a shit what they thought was best, I would want one of those guns and would get one however I could.

Hmm, interesting. I get the feeling this episode may make more sense in future context. It was good, but didn't seem to quite fit for some reason.
I guess Charlie got his revenge though. I admit, I grinned a little.

It was nice to see "Joannie Stubbs" in-between seasons of Deadwood. I've always had a thing for Kim Dickens.

I think the coincidences are fun for the audience, I know I enjoy them for the sake of "spot the character".

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this episode felt weird. It felt like it was written by a guy who had never seen an episode before, but had seen Invasion and that other knock-off, and was told that Lost was "like that, but better." If that makes any sense.

Wow, lots of weirdness going on in the last 10 minutes.
-Hurley reading "Bad Twin" - there have been many theories about cloning or something like that going on on the island - just the writers picking on the fans?
-Glen Miller, and Hurley saying "or what year?" - time warp? Or just more attempted comedy?
-Charlie took Sun? Then WTF is this: http://www.lost-media.com/modules.ph...lbum=906&pos=3
-How is Sawyer going to keep the gun location secret? Wouldn't it be easy for someone to either steal his gun when he's sleeping - making him go get another, then tracking him, or just follow/track him when he goes to them?

I did a little googling for those Evangeline pics. Enjoy. I sure did.

EDIT:
Pics are still kinda crappy quality. Better than the others though.

I believe I read somewhere that they are publishing that manuscript as a book...its basically a way to pump more dollars into the producer's pockets..
Here is the book on Amazon:

Sometimes evil has a familiar face . . .
Paul Artisan, P.I. is a new version of an old breed -- a righter of wrongs, someone driven to get to the bottom of things. Too bad his usual cases are of the boring malpractice and fraud variety. Until now.
His new gig turns on the disappearance of one of a pair of twins, adult scions of a rich but tragedy-prone family. The missing twin -- a charismatic poster-boy for irresponsibility -- has spent his life daring people to hate him, punishing himself endlessly for his screw-ups and misdeeds. The other twin -- Artisan's client -- is dutiful and resentful in equal measure, bewildered that his "other half" could have turned out so badly, and wracked by guilt at his inability to reform him. He has a more practical reason, as well, for wanting his brother found: their crazy father, in failing health and with guilty secrets of his own, will not divide the family fortune until both siblings are accounted for.
But it isn't just a fortune that's at stake here. Truth itself is up for grabs, as the detective's discoveries seem to challenge everything we think we know about identity, and human nature, and family. As Artisan journeys across the globe to track down the bad twin, he seems to have moved into a mirror-world where friends and enemies have a way of looking very much alike. The P.I. may have his long-awaited chance to put his courage and ideals to the test, but if he doesn't get to the bottom of this case soon, it could very well cost him his life.
Troup's long-awaited Bad Twin is a suspenseful novel that touches on many powerful themes, including the consequence of vengeance, the power of redemption, and where to turn when all seems lost.
About the Author
Bad Twin is the highly-anticipated new novel by acclaimed mystery writer Gary Troup. Bad Twin was delivered to Hyperion just days before Troup boarded Oceanic Flight 815, which was lost in flight from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles in September 2004. He remains missing and is presumed dead.
