Last week’s teaser for tonight’s episode already prepared us for the attack on Sun, but who could’ve guessed that Sawyer was behind it all? Personally, I found it quite fitting that Ana Lucia would do something like this – she is, after all, trying her darndest to form an army – and though it seemed a much too easy, it felt right. On the other hand, it was nice to see Sawyer’s true genius come to fruition. Ever since his first flashback episode, the audience has known very little about his work as a con artist, but now we know just how good he really is. Oh, and in case you were wondering, he’s really good.
For now, Sawyer seems to have jurisdiction over the other survivors – he is the only one with a gun, but I really don’t see that lasting much longer. Jack and Locke are far too imposing to let Sawyer get away with his little game of Sheriff for very long, and I’d expect some sort of coup d’etat in the coming weeks. More interesting is the slow demise into darkness that Charlie has taken over the past two weeks. With that hood draped over this head, he looks more like evil Anakin Skywalker than a heroin junkie looking for a fix. In fact, he even refused to take the Virgin Mary statues when Sawyer offered them to him at the end of the episode. Just what exactly is going on with him?
