LOST “Recon” Review

What did you think of tonight’s episode of LOST, “Recon”? Recon was great if for no other reason than the scene with Sawyer watching Little House on the Prairie…and he wasn’t just watching Little House either, he was really getting something out of it ha-ha. Who knew big, bad Sawyer was a fan of half-pint?

So far the alternate reality version of each character has been better than the island version. Was anyone else surprised by Sawyer being a cop with Miles? I was surprised but I also thought it was pretty freaking cool. What I thought was interesting is that when Sawyer saw Kate in the elevator at the airport in handcuffs, he let her go and he was a cop the whole time! Also, what do you think about his safe word being “La Fleur”?

Did anyone else catch Charlie’s brother at the police station? It made me sad that alternate reality Sawyer, although happier than island Sawyer, is still deeply troubled about the death of his family. I was impressed by Sawyer’s ability to play both sides on the island. He always looks out for himself, but I’m glad that this time he’s watching out for Kate as well. I wonder if he will let Kate go for the second time in a row in the alternate reality.

Another thing I’m curious about is what Widmore is up to on the island? It can’t be anything good. What are your theories? Now let’s talk about Locke. As much as I try to not like Evil Locke, I just can’t bring myself to hate him. He tells it straight to everyone, something that Jacob never did. He also has mommy issues, which brings some depth to his character. Whatever he did to Sayid, however, is not cool. He didn’t even help Kate when she was getting attacked by Claire.

Here are a few things I’d like to see in the next Lost episode:

- What Faraday is up to in the alternate reality.
- What the heck Penny and Desmond are up to (in either reality).

Also, what did you think of the previews for next week’s show? I am so giddy at the thought of an entire episode devoted to Richard Alpert! As always, please leave me a comment and let me know your theories on tonight’s episode of Lost, “Recon”.

Goodwork

Yeah, I thought tonight’s episode was awesome, despite the lack of any real answers. And yeah, I agree about Flocke (Fake Locke) telling it straight. He seems quite genuine, aside from the fact he’s supposedly evil and everyone he comes into contact with turns psycho. (Flaire, and fake Sayid… Fayid? xD) I don’t believe Flaire’s “apology” to Kate either, her talk with Flocke seemed to calm her down but she’s got it out for Kate. Overall awesome episode, BUT NEED MOAR ANSWERS T_T Well, we still got 8 episodes (9 if you include the season finale) so should be enough time to wrap it all up (NOOOOOO!). Awesome work, keep up the reviews

And if you don’t already, should check out Seanie B’s recaps, really uncover a lotta the secrets and shd light on some of the mysteries in each ep. (www.youtube.com/theseanieb)

And no, I’m not Seanie B

This show has fallen off. This is the last straw. Poor writing.
Richard

If Jarrah was an Inmortal because Jacobo touch him. Why can he kill Dogen if Dogen was touched too by Jacob? It’s not supposed than Jack can’t kill Richard Alpert because both were touched by Jacob??
