Lost: Last Night’s Episode
This episode was much more action-packed and than the previous episodes. I found myself feeling more compassion towards Ana-Lucia, whom I thought was nothing more than a “tough girl” stereotype in the last two episodes. They’ve had more contact with “the Others” than the first group of survivors, and managed to kill three of them.
The best scene was where Ana sits with Goodman in the countryside, passing the military knife back and forth. I watched the looks on their faces as Goodman paused with the knife in his hand. Right then, there was no doubt in my mind that she had holed up the wrong guy (who had the misfortune of getting killed by the right one). The dialogue between them was good, but left me with more questions.
Who the hell are these people, and where did they come from? There are so many storylines that were introduced, and then dropped. Will those ever get reintroduced and resolved?
My husband and I watched the previews for next week’s episode. It seems that Ana-Lucia and Sayid are going to go to war over Shannon’s death. I hope that gets resolved quickly so the two groups can combine their knowledge and work together. That would make sense. But then again, nothing about this show makes sense.

Well, a lot of thing may not make sense YET.
Here’s a pretty wild but interesting theory about what could be going on:

Thanks for sharing that link, Michael.
Here’s the link to the ABC forum. I wonder how much on the mark these theorists are. At least it gives me some ideas for my novel adaptation. Thanks, again.

Ah, I was given a disc with six episodes of Lost on it, which I believe is the one before this one you’re talking about (up to the moment Shannon was shot).
At first, the episodes were really, REALLY annoying and when they discovered what was inside the hatch I had a sinking feeling because I really didn’t want endless episodes about that. However, they seem to have forgotten it, along with the “thing” and everything else, which is equally annoying.
It would be so much better if they resolved something. Are these people totally stupid or what? Grrrr!

My husband and I are always complaining about that. But we keep watching the show anyway, just in case they do. His feeling is that the ratings will go down, which will force them to cancel the show before we get any answers. I’m trying to be more hopeful.

It will really peeve me if the show is axed and these issues are not resolved. I couldn’t stand it.
