The Glass Ballerina
Episode 2 of season 3 was a small step up from episode 1 in my opinion. One of the big things I look for in Lost episodes is that there be a quality backstory, and that it relate thematically to what is happening on the island. I think that's why I didn't like "A Tale of Two Cities". The backstory had pretty much nothing to do with the main story.
In "The Glass Ballerina", though, the backstory mirrors the main story fairly well I think. Basically, Sun betrays Jin with another man. Side note: Kat thought Sun's 'english teacher' was gay. Second side note: there has been some speculation that Zeke is gay.
Other things in the episode I liked. Sun shooting the bitchy blonde. Is she dead? Probably not, but I hope so. Also, Sawyer picking a fight with the guards to find out how tough they are. I guess anytime you beat up Others, I'm gonna be happy. Almost as happy as beating up mascots. Btw, what happened to the Others' super strength. Does anyone remember how Ethan was tossing people around. Are they a group of "heroes" who all have different powers and he was the dumb strong guy who can fix your house? Hmm, that might make an interesting post, what powers do the losties and others have. Hurley has the power of making food appear (and disappear), Charlie has mind control (how else do you explain this?), etc.
One last thing. David and I were discussing whether the Others are really good or not. They keep saying they are, and there's some speculation that they're trying to save the world. I don't think they're good, and here is why: If you were good, and doing something noble, then terrorizing/torturing people is not the best way to convince someone that you're right. Just tell them what you're doing. If they don't agree, then kill them. Ben/Henry being all secretive while telling Jack he's going to send him home is just ridiculous. Just tell him what you want. The fact that you won't tell him, suggests that it's not reasonable.
Nutjob theory of the week: Lost is set in the future, and all the technological anachronisms are because the island hosts aren't sure what the technology is really supposed to be like. So they've cobbled together tech from the general period. If they can get video of the Redsox winning the world series, surely they can get some new tvs.
