This is the last new episode of Lost until 2007.

Nathan Fillion, of Firefly and Slither fame guest stars in this episode. He is the only one who could save a Kate-centered flashback.

Jack, in the present, has decided not to operate on Ben’s spine tumor. He was pretty brutal when explaining his decision to Ben. No matter. Ben will just threaten someone he cares about.

Nathan nipple, front and center. I’m sure James Gunn would have some stinging comment about that.

Kevin, Nathan’s character, is marrying Monica. I mean, Kate. He called her Monica. Either I need a cochlear implant or something tricky is going on.

Alex, Russo’s daughter that the Others captured, came into the Other’s camp and assaulted some folks with a slingshot. She is no horrible outdated cartoon of a overall-wearing kid with a big cowlick, but she has pretty good aim.

Then Kate put a bag over her head because they told her to, which would have been contrasted nicely by her putting on her wedding veil. Instead, they just cut to her standing in front of a mirror in her wedding dress. Nice missed opportunity there, storyboard editors.

And then Monica married Kevin with no problems. Until later, I am assuming.

Kate is still a wanted criminal in her flashback. She married Kevin under a false name, and she pleaded with that US Marshall on the phone to stop chasing her. We all know that isn’t going to happen. Because, you know, Kate ended up on this island with the US Marshall.

Sawyer and Kate and sharing some deep kisses. And soon, they will be doing it. Which means one of them has to die, right? Those are the rules of the island. But they aren’t on their island anymore. Hmmm, tricky.

Oh yeah, I think I forgot to mention that Kevin is a cop.

Jack was allowed to momentarily escape. He had just enough time to grab a gun and see that Sawyer and Kate had hooked up via camera. Then Jack decided to do Ben’s surgery. That sounds entirely planned out to me. I thought Jack was too smart to fall the Others’ tricks. Oh well.

Kate explained to Kevin that she was a fugitive, drugged him, and then ran away. Always on the run, Kate. Are you so afraid of being loved? And taco night?

Jack is holding a bleeding and anestitised Ben hostage while he commands Kate and Sawyer to get to safety. And there is your last new Lost until February. As if the show’s ratings weren’t already going down, this isn’t going to help.
