Lost S05 E08

Not only do I like Sawyer as a character a lot, but I also feel sorry for him. He’s made the full journey from con-man to caring person. Surely now he deserves a break?

Of course it doesn’t work like that.

In this episode a few things are answered. The Island skipping through time does seem to have been caused by Ben leaving and screwing up the wheel. Locke leaving fixed the wheel. There doesn’t seem any reason to wait for Locke to get back, surely he’s saved them now? Juliette says as much to Sawyer.

Except that they’re saved, but in the past, living through the seventies with Dharma Initiative. Which was a pretty cool woah moment. I loved the “Three years later”, “Three years earlier” moments.  And I also loved Sawyer settling down with Juliette into happy families. Ahh.

But then Jack, Hurley and Kate arrive. So they made it back to The Island but in the past. Just when Sawyer had got over Kate. Bummer. Do they have something to do with DHARMA and the hostiles conflict? And where’s Ben?

A cool episode, which sets up further awesome questions whilst providing a lovely story about Sawyer.
