Lost regains ground
The writers of last night’s episode of Lost, in which we got the back story for siblings Boone and Shannon, were back in the saddle again. It moved quickly, was interesting and gave us a few more things to puzzle over even while some questions were answered. I think the writers chickened out a bit by making Boone and Shannon step-siblings. I don’t think they were willing to get as dark and twisted as it would have to be to make them half- or full-blood siblings. In any case, I was relieved that last week’s bad episode was just that–an episode. The series continues to be mostly fun. And I loved that little bit where they showed Sawyer being escorted, shouting, through the police station. They never have explained what he was doing in Sydney, and why he was going to LA.

I’m glad it was a good episode. We just started watching it with the premier last week, but this week we got confused between Wednesday and Thursday. Do you know of a site that recaps all the stuff that went down?

After some hunting, I think I’ve found the problem, and her name is Jennifer Johnson. Jennifer is the co-writer for the two worst episodes of Lost: The Moth and Whatever the Case May Be. Those are the only two episodes on which she is given a credit.
