I thought that the idea of an army was not a god one too. I'd see Locke now as a kind of "joker" (in cards meaning), which can be used for one or other to sustain his objectives. I mean, both Jack and Sawyer need someone like Locke (or even Eko) to fight the Others and defend themselves. Sayid is good with electronics and tramps (a genius I'd say), but he's not the kind of expert that guide you through the jungle to find a safer place. Eko did, from the tailies camp to the losties. And Eko is keeping so quiet... When Sawyer just left the hole at the tailies camp, he took a stone to throw to Ana. Ana asked him, and Eko replied "Ana..." meaning "please, let him go, don't be violent" or something like that.

(See FAQ for the site rules.) The problem is not that you stated an honest opinion, but that you were unable to do it without insulting the intelligence of anyone who disagreed with you. Go ahead and state your opinions, but remember that you may not be disrespectful of other members, whose opinions are just as valid as yours, when doing so.

If you have a problem with the logic or conclusions drawn in a post, explain your position. Give details that support your argument. However, blanket statements about other posters' intelligence really do nothing to further your cause, and won't win you many friends here. Getting along on the Fuselage is really quite simple. Debate the posts, not the posters. Don't make it personal.
I can see that you just don't get it. You're misrepresenting my post, so please just disregard it.

I thought Charlie's involvement was the big wild card.
And it was believeable that he wanted to make Locke look like a fool.
But don't you think kidnapping Sun was a bit much? I thought that was a little out of character for Charlie.

Keeping in mind that it was never intended to Sun to get hurt..yes it was.

But to me that was Sun's "It will come back around' moment for plotting to poison her husband and getting Michael instead.

Yea, the only thing that keeps it reasonable is that he is so concerned about her finding out.
Of course she will...then Jin will REALLY want a gun.

I gave it "above average".

I liked it alot. I was never bored, the story moved along, and we got to see
that James is capable of love.

I also enjoyed being surprised to learn that Charlie was the one who grabbed Sun.

But she may not tell Jin. She is the least hypocritical person on the island. She may not want Charlie punished for something when she did practically the same thing herself.

her motives were purer tho, she just didnt want her husband to leave. Charlie though did it for revenge, i think its different.
