LOST---The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Part XII

This week's episode marked Faraday's long-awaited return to the show. However, the focus was supposed to be on Miles(short review this week).

The Good:
1. Surprisingly, Dr. Chang is featured as a pretty decent guy.

2. The Hurleyisms keep getting better and better as time goes on.

3. The arguement between Roger and Kate and Roger's suspicion of Kate. It sealed up any possibility of them getting together.

The Bad:
1. I cannot put a finger on what exactly it is, but this week's episode seemed very sterile. Hopefully, Ben will come back in the coming episodes and jump-start the conflicts again. Maybe he will use his mere footsteps this time.

The Ugly:
1. I have continued Season 3 recently, and after getting doses of both 3 and 5, in conjunction with memories of seasons 1, 2, and 4, I have come to yet another conclusion: this show would have been better as a series of novels. It already plays out like a Harlan Coben mystery, and has all the drama of "Pride and Prejudice", with a little of "Lord of the Rings"'s mythical qualities on the side. A novel form would also allow the story to be more accessible to a broader audience.

2. My judgement of the "Star Wars" bits has already been passed: I laughed. Plus, those bits pretty much speak for themselves.

Oddly enough, this episode did very little to further the plot, which is what made it very sterile. Time now for a two week hiatus from the Losties and the Dharma Sock Puppet Emporium; ciao.
