"Take Jack's command and shove it." Sounds like a command to me.
Or, I say, "take it easy" (as in the Eagles/Jackson Browne song). More a figure of speech than a command. But then I say, "take your hands off her." Yeah, that's a command. So "take it easy on her" appears to me to be more command than not. What's the burden of proof we're applying here? More likely than not or beyond a reasonable doubt? If the former, we have a command.

Bobby - Those examples, if he said them like that, are more like what I was listening for and obviously didn't hear. I was thinking more along the lines of
how Jack used to talk. His tone has changed quite a bit since he got back to the island so it just didn't sound like anything he said was
demanding at all. Tone does make a difference in whether a line sounds like an order or a plea. When I read the question I was hearing "Kate, you
can't take any guns. You have to wait for me right here. Eloise - TAKE ME TO THE BOMB. I'm doing this, then you do that.. then I'll make a
big BOOM"
Instructions! Orders! Saying something the equivalent of "please don't hurt her" (take it easy on her) just didn't come off as "instructional" to me. Either way. I don't cayuuur. I have to leave for a dr's appt so I'll TRY to do scores later if ss shows up and gives official answers. |

Wow, I just had my yearly eye doctor visit and my eyes were dilated. I didn't think it'd be bad at all but then I came here to look over the answers
and I can't read a thing! LOL
OK, I can like barely read if I'm far away from the screen and I close one eye and squint with the other (and I'm not even farsighted!). So I'll do my best with the answers but if something I write looks funny it's probably because I can't even see what I'm typing. :p First, the instruction debate - That one he gave there that you guys are debating is iffy, and I actually didn't even notice it when I was watching. Luckily for us though, I did notice when the guy was about to shoot Kate he said something like "Just put the gun down" which is very clearly an instruction. That Kate. I was hoping she wouldn't say "I can't" then she had to go and say it like every 5 minutes (I counted at least 3 times she said it). She must be a very negative person I think. :p Now, did anyone notice any more station names? Preferably two more, please. ;) Here's what I got (basically Felicia's answers except 9 is Yes). Anyone have any problems with it, speak before Felicia does scores or forever hold your peace! :p 1. No 2. No 3. No 4. Yes 5. No 6. Yes 7. No 8. No 9. Yes 10. Yes 11. No 12. B 13. A 14. B 15. B ETA - and why couldn't she have just said "Follow the leader, Ben, we're going to the Orchid," kissed Jack and Sawyer, and taken off her shoes???

I'm pretty sure I'm officially retarded. I knew Sayid was going to shoot someone, but I'm pretty sure I still answered No to the "will someone
get killed" question. Dur...

All those answers sound good to me SS.
Now for my lousy score. I would miss the one with the most points. |

First, the instruction debate - That one he gave there that you guys are debating is iffyThank you! Now I feel not so retarded even if the answer is still yes because of another "instruction". I'll get to scoring soon as I can - maybe later tonight before I go to bed. I just got a call that my grandmother is in the hospital. She's 84 and has been in bad health for over a decade. She's in and out of the hospital so she could be fine tomorrow. Or not. Please send some good vibes my way.. her way. |
