Every time I hear about this man

Sawyer's not an uninteresting character. His development is decent overall, but I don't think he works as well as a central character. Maybe he could have, but it got a little crowded with all of Jack's other relationships swirling around.

Sawyer's weird because he had to become a major player due to the love triangle. But it gets awkward because Jack's the lead and his relationships with Locke, Kate, and Desmond are far richer thematically and crucial to the overall story.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

Imagine the outcry if the bodies of Israeli hostages had signs of torture, executions & handcuffing. It would be on the front page of every newspaper & leading every news bulletin

But its Palestinian bodies handed over by Israel that have these signs. So our media doesn't care

She’s a fascist, this is the side she’s chosen. If it makes her uncomfortable when she’s belittled by her allies then oh well.

"Oh Louis, Louis. Still whining, Louis."

"Oh it's so hard to be me!"

Sam Reid saying Lestat and Armand have an understanding of each other got me thinking about how they are both driven insane by Louis's centuries of complaining.

"Okay, that's all I needed to know."

Tom was coooold here. While he's definitely remembered as a "hero" winner, and he was in a lot of ways, the way he handles Ian in these last couple of episodes is downright brutal.

It's the final 4 of Palau. Tom won immunity leading to Ian fumbling here and Jenn seized on the opportunity to try and save herself. Jenn was an underrated smooth operator.
