NEW TV SEASON 06/07: LOST

So here we are now 7 episodes in, and with one more left before the big break. And where exactly do we stand?

Well Jack has a decision to make, and whatever choice he makes could seem to be the right one. Does he trust Juliet? Is she lying about wanting to revolt against Ben. Well look at this way, there will be flashbacks involving Others this year. So it would stand to reason she is telling the truth and will end up on Jack's side.. but does that mean he has to kill off the show's villain.

Sawyer and Kate are still caged, with Sawyer being the only one who knows that they are not their island anymore, or are they?

Sayid returned to camp after having their boat stolen, no sign of Jin or Sun in episode 7, and he doesn't really mention anything other than saying he just got back. I suppose we are just meant to assume he told Locke and the rest what happened on the trek through the jungle.

Eko has sadly been lost to the island. Another sacrifice. Also another one proceeded by visions. Note how Dave tried to get Hurley to kill himself and when Jack saw his father in the first season he almost fell off a cliff too. It seems that the monster can take forms to play mind games on people. Jack's father, Dave, Eko's brother and even Kate's horse.

Do you think critics even watch the show anymore? As this morning in the USA today William Keck writes an small sidebar on the loss of Eko and mentions that he is the last of the tailes to die. Wrong. What happened to Bernard and Rose?

Now we have the new mysterious one-eyed man hiding in possibly the unseen Flame station. The buzz is that he is played by Andrew Divoff (Wishmaster), who also had a couple of guest stars on Alias.

We only found out about him thanks to the quick thinking of new lostie Nikki. Her and Paulo right now only seem to function as a form of narrative, they haven't done much so they have to keep asking questions thus keeping new audiences clued in on what is happening. The writers better think fast about doing something interesting with them or fans are gonna hope they come to a nasty end before the end of the year. Maybe Michael can come back and just shoot them on principle, now that would redeem him.
