Sawyer certainly reveals a lot about his character with the nicknames he assigns people... a lot of those nicknames are some pretty high brow humor. The guy is certainly "well read," as someone else in the comments noted. :) Of course, my favorites are often still the simpler ones that you just can't get out of your head once he says them. Who doesn't look at Kate and think, "Freckles"? And Faraday... "Welcome to the meeting, Twitchy." XD
You know that he is so creative in giving out nicknames because he has wide knowledge, he reads a lot of book and knows pop culture and TV shows/Movies. He's no surgeon, but he's brilliant.
"Kenny Rogers" had me rolling but my favorite Lapidus nickname was "the pilot that looks like he stepped out of a burt reynolds movie". :p Also, the HG Wells one was a stroke of genius. Appropriate considering their situation
Taller Ghost Walt! I didn't remember that one! *giggle* My favorite from that time frame though was definitely "Kenny Rogers" (Lapidus). It's so true! lol
" doc, we gotta talk" "doc" "take a load off doc" "okay, you can come out now doc" ...could one of the greatest secrets of lost being staring us all in the face until this handy montage came along??? Saywer is actually bugs bunny. :O
The Others had access to the outside world (like news, movies, and sports) as revealed by Ben at the beginning of season 3. Maybe it was a goof or maybe Juliet and the Others watched that movie lol
