whatho | Lost 2.9 (Reply)

Loved it. One of the best episodes of the second season. Even if it was Kate. I had low hopes for this one, actually, because of the poor pacing this season: at any point in the first season I would've been very interested indeed to find out 'What Kate Did' - I've seen so little of her this season that I'd more or less forgotten she's done anything. But they managed to catch with themselves pretty well in this episode, what with returning to a few season 1 dynamics and reintroducing the hatch and the whole Desmond thing and his fantastically camp music. I think Horsey was the best ghost yet. Locke, Locke, dearest Locke was properly in the episode, smiling in all the wrong places and saying hello. And the thing with the computer at the end and 'Dad?' and all that was triffic. 'I have a taranshula with an eye the size of a meatball' etc. I think they've done a lot of rescuing with this one: they haven't undone the mistakes of the previous episodes but they've made it a lot easier to go on from this point. Well done them.

What was bad: 'Don't mistake coincidence for fate'. Yes. We'd never considered that particular theme.

Otherwise wheeeeeee.
