Thanks Kate, I couldn’t have said it any better myself. Of course, that’s how I usually feel during the average episode of “Lost,” but this week was a little different. This week was pointless. Kate and Juliet were stalked by the smoke monster (only to discover that the damn thing is too stupid to go over a freaking fence), Hurley played a trick on Sawyer, and we learned absolutely nothing new about Kate’s past. In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that she’s part of the whole Jack-Kate-Sawyer love triangle, the writers could very well kill her off with little or no consequence.
Still, some people will undoubtedly call this another great episode, but not because it was actually good. Instead, they’ll point out that we got to see the smoke monster again, that Kate had a run-in with Sawyer’s old flame (Cassidy), or that Sawyer finally warmed up to the rest of the survivors. Oh, and Jack now has feelings for Juliet. Shit. That means they can kill off Kate if they wanted to. Well, what are you waiting for?
All in all, this was a pretty boring episode. And when I say pretty, I mean very. Let’s hope that next week’s episode gets things back on track, because the series was finally starting to get interesting again. Of course, the new addition of Juliet to the survivors’ camp is sure to stir things up. Sayid will have a bit of fun interrogating her, and fans will have weeks to wonder about Locke’s newfound relationship with the Others.
