Lost, Season 4, Episode 4

Hurrah, Kate gets off her worldwide spanning rampage of lawlessness. Ten years probation doesn't sound too bad for that long list of crimes. I loved Jack's version of events in the trial: they crashed in the water, eight survived, six got off the island. So the six so far are: Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Aaron and ??, and who are the two who are supposed to have died? And who is really alive?

I didn't guess that the baby was Aaron, even though the clues were there, mainly because I was distracted by the amusing Sawyer being domesticated plot thread. So what's happened to Claire?

And meanwhile, Miles, gets to spend time with Ben and all he wants is money. Huh? And what does Kate ask? Not "who are you?" or "tell me what the hell is going on", but "do you know who I am?" Surely one of many wasted opportunities all in the name of mystery?

Locke's still nuts. Bens still imprisoned and beaten up. All is still entertaining.

Interestingly, I think the focus of "what happened?" rather than "will they get off the island?" has made the character stories more enjoyable, and left the mysteries as a mild intriguing back-story. Which is what I've been saying all along really, it's about the question, not the answer.
