If you’re a Lost fan, Andrew Dignan over at The House Next Door has the goods you need. His insightful, well-constructed episode deconstructions offer exactly the kind of intellectual fuel you need to keep you watching this show just when you think you’ve got much more intelligenter things to do.
I tend to agree with everything he says about “Enter 77,” last night’s episode. Although he never comes right out and says it, I think he feels as I do that this was a great episode. First of all, it was written by Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, who if you believe everything you read are some of the only people who know what the frak is going on.
Are there really people out there who write letters to ABC when an episode doesn’t have any action going on on the beach? Because a show like this, which has so much going on, should really be able to take a break from all that every once in a while and just focus on some action. Like it did last night, except for about 10 wasted minutes of Sawyer’s ping-pong tournament. That’s 10 minutes more time in which we think Eye Patch Man is a Dharma guy.
Sayid is starting to become the most eye-roll inducing character on the show. Tell me, when is the last time Sayid has ever not been the smartest guy on the island? When has he ever had a hunch that didn’t pan out, or made an error of any kind? Actually that’s not a rhetorical question; maybe I’m forgetting something.
Anyway, I was happy with the action. Once I connected “Enter 77″ with the C4, I thought he was going to collapse the building on Kate and briefly it became the best episode ever, but in the end it was just a great episode.
By the way check out this season one image of Sawyer. How far we’ve come, look at that young buck:

I finally got around to watching last week’s show last night, the one that aired on 3/14, and I did my usual fast-forward until I see something that looks interesting. For the first time in several months, I watched most of the show rather than speeding through it. I though it had jumped the shark a few different times previously, but it seems to be picking up some steam again — perhaps due to viewers’ revolt against the show for not resolving anything?
