UNspoiled! The Constant: LOST

Well, look at that! It's a Kate episode and we both actually really enjoyed it! And not just because Nathan Fillion is a guest star (but that doesn't hurt). No, in this episode Kate does most things right, and it's a refreshing change.
 
Jack also decides to perform Ben's surgery, but he's got some stipulations: he'll sew up the damage he personally caused as long as Kate and Sawyer are allowed to escape. Will this gamble work, or will he let Ben die? WE SHALL SEE!

And now we say goodbye to Mr. Eko. It's a satisfying end to his story, but it still sucks to see him go.
 
On the Other Island, Jack is faced with the prospect of doing surgery on Ben's spinal tumor, and Juliet proposes he just let Ben die on the table. We're guessing Mr. I'm Gonna Fix You doesn't have it in him to do such a thing, even if it is the best move he could make.

We're back! Thank you for your patience during our longer-than-planned hiatus. But now that we're finished with our individual travels and healthy again, you won't be getting rid of us so easily! Mwahaha.
 
On to the show! In this episode, we learn that Ben knows exactly how to get Sawyer to behave, and that the con man can be conned. Kate says the "L" word about Sawyer, but we're not sure if she's telling the truth. Jack plays an angle with Juliet that leads nowhere, because his surgeon skills are needed NOW and there's no more time for mind games.
 
And they're on an OTHER ISLAND! How about that!

BOOOOONE.
 
 
I mean, Locke goes on a vision quest and his guide is Boone. He is instructed to save Eko FROM A POLAR BEAR, which he and Charlie successfully do. Elsewhere, Desmond is running around naked and seeing the future. And there's these two randos who seem to think they're part of the group, but we've never seen them before. Shut up, Nikki.

This is a really short one, guys. We just had so little to say about this episode. We didn't learn anything new, really, and it just mostly felt like filler. I can't even think of anything to write about it here. Sun's a liar. Jin knows more English than he lets on. Sayid is smart, but not so smart that he can outsmart the Others who have cameras or spies on the island. They lose the boat. Sun shoots a woman. Jack finds out that the Red Sox actually won the World Series while he's been on the Island. I bet Christian Shepherd wishes he were alive for that.
 
 
We'll be back with a much more exciting episode next week!

It's very possible that season 3 is my favorite, so you can imagine how excited I am to get started. In this episode, Jack learns to let go, Sawyer learns how to get a fish biscuit, - not a euphemism - and Kate learns...nothing, really. But her hair looks great and she gets to wear a dress, so that's something. We also meet Juliet, who is probably the character I've been most excited to get to talk about after Desmond, so yeah. I'm super psyched that we've reached this season.
 
Thank you to everyone who wrote reviews for us! Krista is working hard on her drawing of the Island, and we'll let everyone know as soon as she's finished and ready to share. You're all awesome!

Ooh, Desmond is back! And we learn about his time pushing the button. There's a statue of a foot with four toes. Michael and Waaaaaaaaaaaalt get on a boat and vamoose the fuck off The Island. Locke and Eko battle over their existential crises and Desmond initiates the failsafe. Everything shakes. The sky goes white, and purple. There's a loud noise. The Hatch blissfully blows up. Jack, Kate, and Sawyer are taken captive by The Others. "Henry Gale" is indeed their leader. Some Portuguese-speaking men on a boat somewhere in a cold climate notice an electromagnetic anomaly and make a phone call. To Penny. Desmond's Penny.
 
Listen as we discuss all this excitement with guest host Maggie! And come back next week when we start Season 3!

In this episode we learn what actually happened to Michael when he went to find Walt, and why he has gone to the extreme and twitchy measures that he has. Does that mean we forgive him? Hell. No. We are very much Team Smartypants Sayid, who figures out very quickly that Michael has been compromised and is probably leading four of them into a trap. Now it's a matter of whether Jack actually listens to Sayid or not.

It seems that Locke only likes these Island Quests when he's the one being sent on them. It's not so fun for him when he's the one being forced to follow. This time it's Eko on a mission, and what he finds is another damn hatch.
 
Meanwhile, we officially lose Libby. Screw you, Michael.

Goddamn it, Michael! What more can I say?

This is one of the episodes I was most excited to talk about with Krista, especially after how much she ended up loving both Ana-Lucia and Libby. Hopefully she'll recover from the loss.
