NOT TRIXIE!!
Alright Lost, we have an issue here. First of all, great episode. I was thoroughly entertained throughout. Watching it I kept thinking to myself, “This is exactly what this show needs! Action! Adventure! Love!” And how could we leave out intrigue? Sawyer planting one on kiss after spending the afternoon staring at her ass in the hot hot sun, AND THEN getting into a huge fight with a couple of The Others. Fists, guns, tasers, the show had it all. There was Sun, Gin and Sayid planning there attack. The flashback was marked with lost love, redemption, and a guy getting thrown through a glass coffee-table. I guess what I’m saying is that Lost should really be more like James Bond. Sure, the mystery and all that nonsense is fun, but it doesn’t put asses in seats. I want to be entertained! And I was. You did that right-on, Lost, but then you had to go and do something so completely objectionable I almost chucked the remote through the television. You can’t, and I mean CAN NOT, dangle Trixie (Paula Malcomson) in front of us and the kill her off (presumably) in the same episode. That just shouldn’t be done. You better hope she survives that gunshot wound to the stomach, or I could very well riot.
Also, how hilarious was it when “Mr. Linus” says to Jack, “Patience, patience.” I kind of felt like he was talking to all of us, no?
But seriously, Trixie/Colleen better be coming back.

My guess is that Trix- er, Colleen will be back. This will be the favor Ben asks of Jack - to save her life in surgery. Probably didn’t plan on presenting the need for a favor so soon, but what can he do?
And if Jack had studied that taped footage of the Red Sox win closely, he would have seen Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore in the crowd of celebrating players. We didn’t know it at the time, but they were filming the finale for “Fever Pitch”.
Jack could have then held fast to his belief that Ben was lying to him and that the Red Sox “win” was staged with actors. It did seem as though Ben was a bit thrown initially when Jack didn’t believe him at first. Continuing his refusal to believe might have kept Ben off balance longer.
