Reaction Time: "Outlaws"

"It's fate - some people are just supposed to suffer. That's why the Red Sox will never win the World Series."

The plan was to sleep in, enjoy my Saturday. But sleeping in for me IS 8:30 a.m.
Once I got the dogs taken care of, I was ready to start. Stupid show has me hooked...

Thank you Sawyer for calling Kate out on her shit. I've got more respect for you than Jack at the moment. And speaking of Jack - we see a little more of his daddy and his journey to Australia. Sawyer and Christian drown their problems in a dive bar.

Seeing Sawyer kill the wrong man shows why he's so hard. It's not just from anger from what the real Sawyer did to him and his family. It's also for what it drove him to do - killing an innocent man because of it. He knows that some things can't be driven by anger - sometimes you just have to let it go. That's why he didn't shoot the boar.

We now know something that Jack doesn't - Christian isn't mad at Jack for what he did in "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues". Rather, he's just too "weak" to admit that he's proud of Jack for doing what he never could. This is some intriguing insight - Jack is willing to do what's necessary for the good of people, to go against convention, while Christian assumed that he was meant to suffer, attributing it to fate. This dynamic between ideals will be a huge point in the series, I can tell.
