I really don’t even know where to begin with this episode, and I especially can’t seem to form a coherent thought about what I just saw. So here some random ramblings:
Whenever I hear the “here comes a flashback” swooshing sound, I dread it. Can we just forget the flashbacks and live in the present. Maybe then something could actually happen.
The violence is now completely ridiculous. I realize it’s a TV show and not reality, but if you get beat in the face that much, your face would be so swollen you’d be blind (if you even survived). Yet people are pummeled silly in the face and just shake it off 2 or 3 times an episode.
Clementine? Oh ya, that’s a really popular baby name these days.
Kate, can you please try to have more than one expression on your face in an episode?
The writers were obviously missing having a beeping countdown in the script, so they added the heart rate monitor as the new beeping countdown. Luckily it appears it was just for this episode and it won’t be dragged out for 3 more seasons.

Well this episode brought us back to the rest of the lost crowd. All in all, this had to be one of the least eventful episodes ever. Locke takes a drug fueled sauna break, then goes and pulls Echo from a cave. That’s a wrap. Roll credits. Oh, and we also found out that even though the hatch blew up leaving a giant crater in the ground, miraculously no one was killed. Naked perhaps, but not killed. Through the magic of flashbacks, we learned what a freak Locke’s character really is. Who knew he was a pot growing, commune living, cop shooting dude? I thought the hallucination sequence was a little over the top, seeing a shirtless John being wheel through an airport. It felt like I was watching a Pink Floyd video with some of the effects. It’s all too much for me to handle.

So for those of you who may have missed it, here’s a short recap of Episode 2, Season 3. Sawyer made another faux breakout attempt and got beat up, again. Jack sat in his cell with that brooding look, again. We got a flashback of Sun’s affair, again. Oh ya, and something new did happen, Sayid managed to lose their boat. Which brings me to my first point. Sayid is supposed to be this bad-ass commando, super-tracker and all around green beret type guy. This guy can’t even sit on an empty beach and see 6 people walk down a 1/4 long dock to a sailboat?? Wow, great work there ace. I used to think he was one of the best characters on the show, but tonight’s episode really made him look like a chump. The only person that did anything good was poor, frailer little Sun who actually popped a cap into one of the others. Way to go Sun!
I also found it somewhat ironic that the position that evil Ben has put Jack into, is exactly the same position as the viewers of lost are in. Basically he (and we) are told that if we just be good and follow along, all of the questions will be answered and secrets will be revealed in due time. Sure, I won’t hold my breath for that.

Well, after a long summer spent wondering about the fate of our hapless castaways, the season premiere was finally aired last night. All of our questions would at last be answered, issues would be resolved, and fates would be revealed! Then I watched it and remembered, oh ya, this is Lost. NOTHING HAPPENED. I mean nada, zip, zero. The episode started and we see Jack, Sawyer and Kate are locked up. The episode ended and Jack, Sawyer and Kate are locked up. We saw Jack and Sawyer get angry, and Kate looking forlorn and confused. But then again, we have seen that for 2 seasons now.
Oh wait, but we did get another Jake flashback, and found out about his divorce and problems with his dad – oh, but we already knew that from last season.
How long will they string the audience along giving them table scraps, instead of a full meal once in a while? Are they so lacking in new ideas that they need to drag out events and storylines started 2 seasons ago? Stay tuned and find out!
