I'm rather enjoying Lost - it's no where near replacing the Jossverse in my heart, but it is the show that I most look forward to watching at the moment. I didn't quite get the Big Divisive Issue of last night's episode, though. Why did the choice between beach and caves have to be all or nothing? Couldn't they live in the relative safety of the caves and have rotating crews of people maintaining the fire on the beach in case rescuers come?
Not entirely buying that the two bodies in the caves have been there slowly mummifying for 40 or 50 years, either. Surely in a jungle climate, they would decay rather than mummify. And decay attracts predators/scavengers - there were *no* animals or even insects snacking on them during all that time? I did a short course in forensic entomology last spring (which was fairly gross but interesting) - insects find bodies within hours and can reduce them to nothingness within weeks.
Interesting backstory on the Korean couple - I didn't see that coming. Does the watch mean that the Korean woman's father was on the plane, too?
