Post #84 LOST Revelation Thursday...

Last night's episode: He's Our Your
Primary Focus Character: Sayid Jarrah
Secondary Focus Character: Ben Linus

First, let me state that I firmly believe that the worst episode of LOST is still better than the best hour of any other show. That being said, last night's was the worst episode of LOST this season.

There was little story development and little character development.
The story was slow and gave us little that we did not already know:
- Sayid has always been a twisted individual, finding it inhumanly easy to take the life of another creature.
- Kate loves Sawyer.
- Ben hated his father.


Here is the episode in a nutshell: The DHARMA people take Sayid to an interrogator who lives in the jungle. The truth about Sayid's trip to the island is so unbelievable that the DHARMA people vote to execute him. Sawyer is losing control of his long con. Young Ben helps Sayid break out of the DHARMA jail. Sayid shoots young Ben.

There are a few questions that this episode begs:
- How does Sayid shooting Ben influence future events?
*Does Ben survive the shooting, appearing to come back to life and thus elevating him to "resurrected leader of the others"?
- Why does the interrogator, Oldham, live outside of the barracks?

I realize that not every episode will be a 10. That's fine, but I expect more from LOST than I got last night. It was entertaining, but there was only 3 minutes of action and 39 minutes of filler.
