There are no sports tie-ins for the ABC show "Lost" like there were for the FHM.com list of the 100 sexiest women alive that we featured below yesterday. But it's our blog and we'll do what we want.
Jim and I are both big fans of the show. Before we shared a blog, we would discuss the episodes the day after. Jim, if you haven't watched it yet, DON'T READ THIS! Now that we have the blog we don't really have to talk at all.
I thought the episode was OK. Not great. It was a shocker to me -- as it obviously was to Ben -- that his daughter was killed.
The explanation of why Sayid decided to become a killer for Ben...I dunno, kinda forced. So Sayid is just going to take Ben's word for it that that guy killed Nadia? Without reservation? Seems unlikely.
I thought it was cool that Ben called for Smokey the Monster. But does that mean Ben can always call for Smokey the Monster? Did Ben call for Smokey when he killed Mr. Eko? Mr. Eko was a terrific character. My understanding is he was killed off because the actor didn't want to be on the show anymore. Notice he hasn't been back in any flashback/forwards.
Overall, I give the episode a C. It might be my least favorite of the season. Hopefully next week's will be better.
Jim, your thoughts?
UPDATE FROM JIM: I did not watch the episode last night. I will tonight. Then I will comment. In the meantime I am trying hard not to read this post of the Entertainment Weekly summary that always explains everything I didn't understand.
