I don’t think LOST is getting lost. With the format of the show you are sometimes going to get episodes that features a character you don’t care as much for (Michael) and I gotta admit I wasn’t really paying much attention until the last 2 minutes that were pretty awesome. It is something that happens every season, but unfortunately we have to have a long break after this Michael episode. One of those unplanned, writers strike curses.

I really enjoyed this episode. I trully think that Michal & Walt’s story after leaving the island is one of the most interesting plots on Lost. Besides, we finally have a gay character in the show!! (We already had the lesbian one a.k.a. Ana Lucía…)

I figured out my issue with the episode: Michael’s motivation made no sense to me. He’d rather kill himself because his son doesn’t want to be around him since he killed two women. Rather than tell what he did, possibly get everyone rescued, and maybe serve some jail time but at least he’d redeem yourself in his son’s eyes. To me, it’s a no-brainer.

I just think it’s weak that Michael’s willing to kill himself (or go on a freighter to kill a dozen people) rather than own up to what he did (which is really what Walt probably wants from his dad). If Michael’s biggest motivation is redeeming himself, it’s a stupid way to go about it. And I don’t think Walt would be anymore impressed with “Your dad killed a freighter full of people to save the island”, than “I killed two women to save your life”. It’s so backwards.

Todd - I agree. The ratio of mystery to answers is getting to a place that I can deal with.

TvA- I also agree that Michael’s flashbacks are marred by Walt’s absence. I couldn’t figure out what I didn’t like about his flashback but something was off.

disappointing ep. and all those promos about “someone will die!” Yea, right. I don’t think I saw those two minor characters faces in the promos. Big disappointment. Worse than last week’s. What’s going on? Is Lost getting Lost?

I dunno about everyone else, but i find Harold Perrineau EXTREMELY annoying… i dont know what it is about him, but he just bothers me. So i was really dissappointed with the ep, especially. But maybe if a liked him more i wouldve liked it more.

I really didnt want Aaron to be part of the oceanic six, considering he wasnt exactly on the plane, i guess..

I doubt we’ve seen the last of Walt. Thanks to the new format of the show, he could appear in someone else’s flash-forward or get his own episode told from his future point of view.

I hope Danielle is not really dead. Seeing Mira Furlan and hearing her distinctive voice always makes me a little nostalgic for Babylon 5 (she played Ambassador Delenn on that show).

It’s still hard to tell whether Ben and other Others are good guys or bad guys or somewhere in between, but at least now we get to share that frustration with a major character, since Michael is having to weed out the innocents and only kill the bad guys. Having to kill a dozen or more people to redeem himself for killing a couple people — Michael is truly screwed.

And, yay, no more O6 debate. Aaron is one of them. I like how the ratio of mystery to revelation & confirmation is starting to balance out better.
