Oh man, Lost is back! After a super-weak episode two weeks ago, like probably the weakest episode this show has ever produced, just so so weak it’s almost embarrassing, Lost is BACK! And I am DRUNK!
Obviously, Jack and Hurley and Kate are back in the 1970s. That’s why three weeks ago, there was all that talk about them disappearing from the plane before it crashed (time-shifterz), and also why the new Losties were able to set up hospital beds in a long-abandoned Dharma Initiative building. Duh. Last night Ben tried to escape back to the main island, but we knew he wasn’t going to make it because three weeks ago he was unconscious on a cot, the only question was WHEN he was going to get injured (get it?). What is UP with Sun, you guys? She’s a total monster these days. Sun Monster. Admittedly, I would be a monster, too, if I was trapped in the present while my husband was back in the ’70s. Oh no, TIME-CROSSED LOVERZ!
This week we also learned that Sayid has time-shifted. The island is such a tease! In any case, he goes to Dharma jail, because the island never gives you more than you can handle, and we know that Sayid can handle jail. This leads to an epic power struggle between Jack and Sawyer because some things never change. But some things do change! Sawyer lives with Juliette! But Sawyer is still in love with Kate! Well guess what, it’s the ’70s, so just have a key party and relax. At least you’re not stuck in the present like Sun.
This guy, though, so suspicious of the whole thing!
Not having it. Something weird is going on and this guy doesn’t like it.
But the best part for the superfans, and by superfans I really only mean people who have watched this show since the beginning and like it, I’m not talking about actual superfans, who keep Trapper Keepers filled with notes and have a day-glo map of the island’s various Dharma stations drawn in fluorescent chalk on their wall only visible by black light (CALL BACK!). Not those superfans. Just fans, I guess. Sorry to insult you, superfans, by referring to the rest of us as superfans. But hey! Look! It’s that guy!
Oh man, that guy. Love that guy. Makin’ copies!
But, wait, you guys, how spooky was the main island when Frank and Sun showed up looking for Jin?
What is this, The Strangers? TOO SPOOKY! I haven’t seen The Strangers, because I hate that shit, but I assume it’s a lot of doors creaking open, and mystical reborn island father ghost Gods standing silhouetted against the lamp light. In floppy sack masks.

Sun = Worst Mother Ever.
Seriously- she had no qualms about leaving her baby. Sure, it’s with grandparents, but she left knowing she’d never see her again.
I vote key party.
of all Lost moments that have made me incredibly happy, nothing got me higher than Sawyer putting Jack in his place in that stare-down. OH HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED JACK-O! your power hungry egomania will not be quite as useful when you’re pushing that mop around! hehehee…
If the kid Ben Linus met Sayid- and probs most of the people- how come he cant remember? Does he remember? C’mon Lost- you gotta cover that one up somehow.
Also, what bugs me is why Christian dresses differently all of a sudden. He used to have a nice suit and tennis shoes thing going on. Now he has that lame shirt. Whats the deal? If hes a ghost or zombie or monster or whatever I simply dont care- I just wanna know– whats with the shirt?
We have no reason to assume he doesn’t remember everything. Those buggy eyes have secrets behind them.
Lost has become The Lake House (but good)!
I will argue with you that the previous episode was weak, far from it in fact. But you brought your A game on this week’s summary so, yay! My favorite parts would have to be seeing Namaste guy, Sun cracking Ben with the oar, and Sawyer basically telling Jack to have fun at dinner. I just hope that Sawyer doesn’t get all sentimental for Freckles; he should stay with Juliette – put a ring on it and a baby in it.
The guy is suspicious because he still hasn’t gotten over Don Draper nailing his wife.
Where’s Daniel?! I think he took an extended vacation to CrazyTowne. Which is a shame.
And dude, that drinking game is dangerous. I would have been drinking shots pretty rapidly every time Tokyo Rose was onscreen. When she cracked Ben with that paddle I had to try to explain the drinking game to anybody watching the show with me, because “Sun…wtf?”
You keep pissing and moaning about how bad the last episode was, but I feel this week was tenfold weaker than that one.
I don’t know how you can say last weeks episode was the weakest ever, how quickly you forget about Jack’s Tattoo! Bai Ling! Ahggh.
Sawyer was all ” I’m Obama and you’re Dubya, bitch. Now go rake some shit while I clean up your mess!” to Jack. Straight gangsta.
p.s. I hate you, Kate.
I don’t know. I thought this ep was weak based on the inconsistency of Frank Lapidus’s beard. When will Lost go back to its winning formula of having Cheech Marin making sandwiches? Talk about a great episode!
I never thought in a million (2) years that they would explain why The Others were building a runway on the Hydra.
What? They built it so that in the future Lapidus will be able to land on it?
Would you be a cool sunglasses-wearing (cause you’re so cool) fan or a lame day-glo trapper keeper superfan if your “Hey! That Guy!” moment was not for Dr. Candle (Chang) but instead for Radzinsky? As in, the dude who blew his brains out in the hatch and was replaced by Desmond.
Because I need to know if I should be wearing sunglasses or carrying a trapper keeper.
trapper keeper.
also, how perfect was Juliette’s face when she found out the baby was Ethan? “Um, great… you hold the little murderer now. Bye.”
How has no one mentioned the scene between sayid and young ben?
It so funny now that now it’s all Fuck You Jack but I love it! Nice call on Radzindky Girl Friday. That one totally got past me. Daniel is surely still there but now he’s the village idiot and Charlotte’s parents have a Dharma Restraining Order on his crazy ass.
Why hasn’t anyone mentioned Miles’ GRAY HAIR?! Sawyer and Juliette and co. look just the same as three years ago, but with different (not differently colored!) hairstyles, yet Miles appears to have aged 20 years by the looks of his hair! How inconsistent! Milesgrayhairgate is much more important than Beardgate!
um, no. this is him in his first episode nice try though. (strokes trapper keeper approvingly)

I’m surprised no one with DVR mentioned Claire apparently being in the fog behind Sun when Christian’s showing her the photo. I haven’t seen it, it’s just been a rumor goin’ ’round.
Both the Jack’s tattoo and Nikki & Paulo episodes are way worse than these last two. They’ve been necessary, like the episode in season 2 where we have to catch up with the Tailies first days on the island.
I think young Ben remembers it all. That’s why he knows everything, and that’s why he acts so weird.
yeah i also liked the la fleur episode. jacks tattoo and nikki and paolo are in a whole other bracket. theres like 5 levels between la fleur and nikki and paolo.
i think that young ben/sayid relationship is going to be something very important. in fact, i wouldnt be surprised if it was instrumental in ben wanting to join the ‘hostiles’.
and i havent gone back to watch that scene with sun again, but here’s a shot of it
