She knows the song from Finding Nemo. Nemo was also Lost ;)

The scene where Shannon sings is the scene that I fell in love with her character.

Trivia: The survivors mentioned that they were moving their camp away from the crash site. The real reason this happened is the Hawaii Police kept receiving calls from alarmed tourists about a plane crash at the beach! 🤦🏻‍♂️ They had to partially dismantle the crash site set so to not scare passersby, and also to give police a break.

When I first learned that Bobby Darin's Beyond the Sea is actually a French song, Le Mer.

🎶La mer Qu'on voit danser Le long des golfes clairs A des reflets d’argent La mer Des reflets changeants Sous la pluie🎶 That’s the original french song which became in english "Somewhere, beyond the sea "😊

Danielle Rousseau included the lyrics to "La Mer", a song written by French lyricist Charles Trenet (1913-2001), in her notes on the Island. Since it is a popular French song that was first recorded in the 1940s, Danielle Rousseau was probably familiar with it since childhood.

There are no good or bad characters in this show. They all do both terrible and wonderful things. They all broke the commandments and committed mortal sins, but we still sympathize with them.

Kate's my girl. I'll die on that mountain. I hope all the Kate Hate stays the frak outta these comments, cause I can't picture Carmen hating Kate at all. She sees the good in characters and isnt petty. But i'll have you all be warned, im gonna comment on every single Kate Hater comment i see and fight you tooth and nail. The hatred she receives is completely unwarranted, unfair, and SMALL MINDED.

Carmen, this episode takes place over days 21 - 22 after the crash of Oceanic Flight #815. Katherine Anne "Kate" Austen's alias in this episode was Maggie Ryan. The character of Kate was first intended to be the leader of the survivors, after Jack's character was to be killed off in "Pilot, Part 1", when he was going to be played by Michael Keaton. Later, the writers found that killing Jack in the first episode would raise feelings of betrayal and anger in the audience. They decided instead to have the pilot killed in Jack's place so they cast Matthew Fox instead. In this depiction, Kate was written as an older woman traveling with her husband, whom she is separated from after he goes to the bathroom right before the crash. This idea was still employed, but with the characters of Rose and Bernard. Shannon's French boyfriend's son, Laurent, repeatedly watched a French dubbed cartoon about a fish (Finding Nemo). Apparently, the cartoon had a song with matching lyrics to Rousseau's notations. The behind-the-scenes reason for the "unusual tides" that are about to submerge the fuselage was that actual seasonal tides on the North shore of Oahu would have eventually flooded the shooting site for real, thereby submerging the fuselage set and causing an ecological disaster. Therefore, an in-story reason had to be found for the survivors moving their camp to a different location.

Perhaps the French woman remembers her child, who was kidnapped on the island, so she writes the words from a song about a fish from a cartoon, which in the plot is also lost

We know her real name is Kate at this point because the Marshal called her Kate in her first flashbacks. So it's not a spoiler to say any other names she uses here on out are false names. Also, little nugget, Shannon says since last episode Boone and Locke have been going into the jungle for four days. That's the biggest gap of time between episodes, and the last time more than 24 hours will pass between episodes. From here on out, every day on the island is depicted, and each subsequent episode will begin later the same day or the next immediate day. So if you're trying keep track of how long they've been on the island in your notebook, there's a little non-spoilery nugget for you. I wouldn't read too much into the song. I think the song's just something Rousseau scribbled to comfort her.

Loved the brainstorming/discussion after the episode! Great thoughts on this episode, can’t wait for the next 😊

Also, a lot of people shit on Kate about the case, but she had more right to that case than anybody else! It literally contained something that belonged to her! And ok, Jack Shepherd is probably my favorite tv character of all time. I'm a Jack Shepherd stan, hell! I'm a Jack Shepherd SIMP. But come on guys! What right did he have to treat Kate like that? To DEMAND answers? To get in her face when he didn't like the answer? That's HER business. She doesn't have to say SHIT to anybody, about anything. And the same goes for Sawyer only worse because he's constantly objectifying her at the same time. People think this episode is a bad look for Kate, I say this episode is a bad look for those boys!! Couple of jerks, both of em. But that's the point, everyone on the island has the capacity to say and do the wrong things the majority of the time, but we love them because they're all doing their dang best! Unfortunately, especially on reaction channels, Kate doesn't get that kind of empathy and understanding. She gets condemned for much lesser sins than just about everyone else on the island and they straight up refuse to forgive her. She's the only one who doesn't get a pass. I have high hopes for this channel though!

I keep getting reminded of so many things in this show that I can't wait for you to see!

Thanks, really enjoying your reactions. Your doing a great job of analyzing the information you've been given and trying to make sense of it. You may be right or not, but either way, this will serve you well as we go along. As always, outro thoughts/comments very good. 🌴😎🌺

I know you said you're an X-Files fan -- did you recognize the song? In English it's "Beyond the Sea" -- featured in and the title of an absolutely amazing X-Files season 1 episode.

Doctors don't actually take an oath anymore,not for decades

Hey River! Safe deposit box 815 you say?

Loving this Lost journey with you. I especially love your kitties. We lost our precious Sebastian Honey (a special needs ginger) two years ago next month. Please give your kitties a tummy rub for me.

River!

The safe deposit box # is 815. Same as the flight # of the plane. Certain #s will appear again and again.

Oh girl, you ain't seen cliffhangers yet. LOL :-P

A lot of people didn't like Evengeline's character during the show, I liked it. As you watch the show things will be revealed and you'll find out about the events that happened in this episode and you'll probably understand why she is like this. Without going into spoilers, that small plane was a gift from the man she loved, the man she killed, it was to her the equivalent of a very personal love letter. She didn't want anyone to know that part of her life.

🌴❤️🌴 I adore Kate 😊

Flashbacks will reveal the truth about Kate but you have some really great ideas about her past.

It's been so long since I watched this show that I forgot how much I loved it ❤especially Sawyer. Luv me some Sawyer ❤❤❤

I don't think I've seen any bad episodes in this series. Maybe some less intense ones, like this one, compared to all the previous ones and some more, but bad at most 2 chapters and I'm not sure about that either. I don't know if anyone agrees with that or not😅
