You know, when a season is 23 episodes long, a crappy episode every now and then is to be expected. But when you only have 13 episodes in a season, you don't want to screw around with a bunch of crappy episodes, and that is exactly what we are doing this season with Lost. I am still trying to decide which episode was worse, this one or last weeks. Last week a lot of nonsensical nonsense took place, this week absolutely nothing took place. So the question is, which is more preferable, a retarded nonsense episode last weeks, or an pointless episode where nothing happens, like this weeks? Either way, they are just pointless filler, and you know something is wrong with a show when over half the episodes are pointless filler episodes.

Compared to the beginning of season 3 all of these episodes have been pretty good. This last episode was even better than many of the ones we got in season 2 if you ask me.
It was clear in season 2 that the show was going to focus on the characters in a more in-depth fashion. I was extremely frustrated with that at first, since I liked how stuff actually happened in the first season (I liked the plot more than the characters), but I care about the characters enough to where I'm okay with it all now.
