I am probably alone in finding last night's episode totally meh. Despite all the cool action and the very pretty-in-black-tanktop Sayid, nothing really happened that we didn't know was happening.
It was basically a Seyid story that showed the mechanics of what we've been told since the season's 2nd episode would occur - i.e., he's been "claimed" and is evil and will align himself with MiB. Ok, so that's about all that happened - except we were treated to some cool alternates in the sideways world and, yeah, some cool action on the island.
But it's what? Nearing the halfway point of the final season? I want some movement in the story. I am not happy with the meandering of taking an entire episode to move the story precisely one inch.
Maybe some stuff in the sideways world moved forward. I couldn't tell. So it seemed like a placeholder episode to me. Sorry, but Yawn.
(I generally find Lost seasons to start off slow and pick up steam around the halfway point. But I expected a more steady flow of movement in the final season. There's a lot to wrap up, and still provide enough new stuff to entertain. I don't think there's too much time for dithering.)
