S3E12 - "Par Avion"

Par Avion is French for "by air," which is what they write on air mail.  So, uh, air.  Planes.  Airplanes.

00:57  God dammit, it's a Claire episode.

04:17  And here comes ol' cockblockin' Desmond.

06:12  Claire's actually got a pretty good plan.  I mean, I'm sure it won't work, but it's good to know she can actually think.

11:09  Yeah, anarchist, what list?

11:32  It's not Ben, it's that other guy they were mentioning.  I forget his name.

12:19  He was about to say "paralyzed."  Wonder where he knows Locke from.  Another damn commune, perhaps.

15:19  Aunt Lindsay is kind of a bitch.

17:32  Cockblockin' Desmond again.

20:16  Well that was a pretty gruesome death!  And Locke's response?  "Sorry."

23:42  Oh no, her new doctor is going to be Ethan.

23:58  Even better, it's Jack's dad!  And by better, of course, I mean, big deal who cares.

24:35  Wait a tic, is Claire's mom the mother of the illegitimate kid?  So is Claire the illegitimate kid?  What is all this hooey?  And why did it take me five tries to type "illegitimate" correctly?

25:25  Well, Jack and Claire are brother and sister.  Who'da thunk?  The two most annoying motherfuckers left on the island are related.

29:08  Wait a minute, though.  The timeline here doesn't add up.  It was mere days before the flight back to LA that Jack's dad was banging on a door in the rain wanting to see his daughter.  Meanwhile, Claire's pregnant - and blonde.  Now all the sudden she's a grown-up, her mom's in a coma, and she's a goth with no baby.  This is a huge plot hole here.  Oh wait, are they retconning this into he came back to Sydney the last time to see the mom, and it's the aunt who was saying "You'll never see her!" and all that?  I think they're reaching quite a bit with this one.

34:44  Charlie dies a lot, man.  Like, a whole lot.

36:01  Ah, there we go, Claire's blonde and pregnant, visiting her mom.  Oh, and a nature show about thsoe birds.  It's all coming together!  And doesn't seem forced at all! Really! 

39:25  Oh no, Sawyer's reading Ayn Rand.  No wonder he's such an asshole about owning shit.

40:46  Alright, how is that note going to stay attached to the bird?  And when it gets wet, which it inevitably will, all the ink's going to be washed-out.  What a horrible idea.

42:04  Are we supposed to think Jack's been turned too?  I don't buy it.

My thoughts on this episode.
