Ok, so I had this all typed out and Firefox exploded and the post went bye-bye. I’ll try to recreate from memory.

I think Lost is consistently one of the best hours on television. If you haven’t seen the latest episode yet, stop reading. You’ve been warned.

So I was a little disheartened after last weeks episode. Don’t get me wrong, season two started off with a bang. It slowed down with the second episode, but we found out what was going on with the raft guys and we got some new info on happenings in the hatch. But week 3 was weird to me somehow. It just didn’t’ seem like Lost. But tonight…oh yeah. It’s back.

I thought the flashbacks for Hurley fit particularly well with his new responsibilities and his fears about them. It also helped explain why he dreamt about a guy in a chicken suit, although I still don’t know why he was speaking Korean (but it does explain why Jin was speaking fluent English in the preview for tonight’s episode). Jack and Sayid’s exploration of the hatch was interesting, and I’m sure more will come up about that later. We finally got to have an almost decent conversation with the other survivors, and it appears we know how many of them are on the island. And we actually got to see pretty much everyone, not just those involved with the hatch or raft. I think that’s part of what I’ve been missing the last few weeks.

The only thing that didn’t sit well with me is the fact that Ana Lucia is still being a total bitch. I understand her initial skepticism at these three guys from out of nowhere, but they told her about the plane, what more does she want from them? I’m hoping for a better explanation there in the future.

Next week is a Jin episode. I’m looking forward to it.

Edit: I almost forgot…you can watch Lost and other tv shows on your new iPod if you’re willing to pay $1.99 an episode.
