My buddy Taylor and I have agreed to post each week about the latest episode of LOST. If you’re not watching (or if you’re just getting immersed into the show), this may not be an interesting read. But if you’re a junkie like me, feel free to chime in and let us know what you think.

Last night’s episode, “The Long Con” was a Sawyer flashback. It’s official: I can’t stand this dude. He’s just despicable. But, lest I speak too early, the show’s producers are really setting him up to be quite the redemptive figure. His statement at the end of last night’s episode (“I’m not a good person. I’ve never done a good thing in my life.”) may bear out to be false, I have a feeling. We saw a glimmer of some redeeming qualities in “The Hunting Party” episode; let’s hope he comes around in the end.

But, whether you hate him or not, you gotta admit, he’s hilarious. Last night’s “Tokyo Rose” moniker for Sun was the best. (Calling Hurley “Jabba” is coldblooded, though.)

What about this new alliance with Sawyer and Charlie? I’ve heard the show is supposed to take a darker turn, but I didn’t expect that.

By the way, where’s Mike? Maybe he’s off auditioning for Matrix 4.

Next week’s ep looks interesting. Theories on who the guy in the net is? My guess is next week will be a Tsayid backstory.

But the real question is: what’s going to happen when the timer goes zero? Thoughts?
