Okay, as I was watching, I remembered that GC was an extra? Did I miss his show?

I believe he daid episode 12 of the season or so. Believe me, you'll hear the sirens.

And that WAS an incredible episode. It had so much going for it. Murder, random groups of characters running through scenes out of nowhere, some good ol' smokey slaughter. Awesome awesome awesome.

Or not.

I was bummed to see Dogen get killed, but man was it satisfying to watch his little bitch get it.

I don't like where it seems to be going.

I guess we can assume Kate and Sawyer are going to team up.

Wait. NotLocke more or less said he could give Nadia back to Sayid. In the sideways world, Sayid has Nadia back (in a sense). Is the sideways world also MIB's world; one in which he has given people what they want (but maybe not specifically how they thought they would get it)?

NotLocke also told Claire the Others had Aaron. I wouldn't take him at his word.

Spoiler about what the island may be:

Well, Kate may be considered an "other" now...and she has Aaron (more or less).

In this theory, I don't think MIB is giving out what people want in the way they want it. Kind of like King Midas' wish to be able to turn everything he touched to gold didn't work out quite the way he envisioned.

I had a similar thought last night.

It would seem that Jacob sucks at making deals with people as well if what Dogen said is accurate in the story of his son. But in the alternate world with the piano competition, his son was still alive.

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.)

A commenter is guessing that the island is a door; personally I think that makes a lot of sense. __________________ ~Whitney Wondering about the future of Ellington Woodard's punk@ss sh!t.
