But its placement within the final season doesn’t sit right. It’s not that “Across the Sea” is a weak episode it does a standout job of filling the viewer in on everything they should know about the island’s history.

The island stuff is rather entertaining as Juliet drops the infidelity bombshell to keep Sun from heading to Locke’s camp.Ĩ7. The clues may have been there all along, but the revelation that we’re watching Jin’s flashbacks alongside Sun’s flashforwards is Lost at its most tricksy. The calm before the storm that was the final eight episodes of season three. The Kate and Cassidy “sisters doing it for themselves” flashbacks are well-meaning if ultimately dry, and the plot of Juliet and Kate being handcuffed in the jungle isn’t as entertaining as it should be until Smokey shows up. This episode has all the components of a terrific one, but it falls short of the mark. Also features the slightly clunky whispers reveal.Ĩ9. Puts the brakes on the final season slightly, which is slightly disconcerting considering the end is near, but there’s lots of enjoyable moments courtesy of temperamental dynamite and the Hurley-Libby flashsideways reunion. Everybody Loves Hugo – Season six, episode 12 Still, Miles is a great character, and it’s terrific to see Ken Leung getting his time to shine.ĩ0. There’s lots to like here – the numbers being embossed on the Swan station door! – but with a finite number of episodes to go until the conclusion of the series, it’s all just very filler. Some Like It Hoth – Season five, episode 13 Earns a big point for bringing back Shannon’s missing inhaler for no reason but nostalgia.ĩ1. Jack’s haters are given reason to dislike the “broken” spinal surgeon all over again thanks to this frustrating episode, which sees him battle with the discovery that he’s been led to the island his entire life. Maggie Grace’s only flashback episode is nowhere near as weak as some fans remember. Once you get past Sayid and Shannon getting it on, there ’ s some good stuff here – namely the latter’s surprisingly emotional death. The one where Sayid gets thwacked around the head by Locke is fun and mysterious, though (we only discover it was him 14 episodes later). There are some fantastic Locke and Charlie scenes hidden among an episode that’s pretty average by Lost’s standards. Still, the climactic showdown between Eko and Smokey is a gutpunch, boosted by the preceding interplay between Agbaje and Adetokumboh M’Cormack, who plays his brother, Yemi.

The Cost of Living – Season three, episode fiveĪdewale Akkinuoye-Agbaje dealt the writers a curveball when he asked to be written out of the show, so Mr Eko’s rushed conclusion isn’t really their fault. A pretty ridiculous episode, actually.ĩ5. Includes some melodramatic Jack and Kate moments within their flashforwards, and the former demanding he conduct his own appendectomy on the island is so hilariously Jack, it doesn’t even irk. Something Nice Back Home – Season four, episode 10 The fallout of Walt’s dramatic kidnapping at the end of season one decreases in quality with each watch despite some killer Sawyer lines (“What ya gonna do? Splash me?”) and a world-expanding ending.ĩ6. The cat-and-mouse aspect between her and Sawyer is fun, but there’s no denying it ’ s pure filler and frustrating due to the fact it comes after a mega cliffhanger. Your view on this episode depends on how you feel about Kate ’ s toy plane I don ’ t mind it. Whatever the Case May Be – Season one, episode 12 Katie will be doing a show in support of Steven on Wednesday night with tons of amazing guests including Susan Sarandon, Roger Waters, and Lucy Lawless: Ĭatch me on Wisdom this Monday night for a special call-in show at 8PM EST (a lot more of those are coming soon): | username On today's episode Jack and Leslie are joined by Jesse Hawken to discuss Peter Jackson's riveting new Beatle's documentary Get Back.Īnd as a special bonus, we have an excerpt from an interview from the 5/27/21 Katie Halper show with Roger Waters and Steven Donzinger about Steven's unjust prosecution.
