Lost: Recon Review

Summary:

Fauxke tells Sawyer he's the smoke monster, and then sends him over to scope out the Ajira 316 survivors. That almost turns out to be a bust, because all of the Ajira 316'ers are dead, and we're not sure if it was the smoke monster (my bet) or Charles Widmore - who has parked his sub off of Hydra Island. Sawyer tells Widmore he'll lead the smoke monster right to him for a ride off the island. He then heads back to Fauxke and tells him that he told Widmore. Then he tells Kate he's playing the two sides against each other and he plans to get off the island in the sub unnoticed while they duke it out.
Also, Claire nearly kills Kate. Fauxke rescues her, then tells Kate about his crazy mom - and that Claire is crazy. Then Claire hugs Kate and everything is better? At least Kate is clearly confused and not buying anyone's crap.
AltLost - Sawyer is a cop, and has a partner, - Miles! Miles! sets Sawyer up on a blind date with Charlotte! but Sawyer blows it when Charlotte! discovers about his long dead parents. Sawyer confesses this to Miles!, and before much more can be done, they chase Kate! and catch her.

Thoughts:

Another transition episode. Now we have some picture of where this season might go - Sawyer trying to steal a sub. Is he planning on strong arming another sub captain, or did he get a little submarine training when he was Chief of Security?

This is one of the episodes where I actually liked Kate. She's not buying into Fauxke, and is clearly weirded out by A) Bat-Crazy Claire and her Squirrel-Baby and B) emotionless Sayid.

Somewhere, Jeremy Davies is crying that he didn't get to make out with Rebecca Mader...

Themes:

Not a lot in this episode.... More of a plot episode than a thematic one, in my mind. Sawyer off island makes a different life choice - but is still the same person. Interesting.

Also, all of the alt losties have looked in a mirror in the sideways. Important?

Speculation:

Speaking of Jeremy Davies, when is good old Faraday gonna show up in the sideways?
And when is Desmond gonna make an appearance?
Next week - Richard. No sideways I'm guessing...

not much to say really

another semi-pointless setup episode.

i totally called sawyer being a cop.

richards episode should be a nice change of pace.

whats the prediction for sun and jin's flash-sideways? they are siblings? business partners? eloping to escape from Sun's evil dad, who is actually godzilla? i mean come on, how stupid are these flash sidewayses?

oh and then when we catch up with sawyer and kate in the alttimeline, we will find out that kate wasnt running from trouble, but was actually training for a marathon. sawyer will become her coach. she will win a gold medal.

argh .
