Touchdown!

Last night's "Lost" redeemed some of the problems I had with last week's episode, mainly that Locke is less a bumbling idiot who can't stop pushing any buttons he sees, and more of a calculating asshole who has something bigger up his sleeve. Is it that he wants to sabotage ANY ability to contact the outside world because he never wants to leave the island? (The whole "island gave him his legs back" thing.) Or is it that he's some kind of super duper sleeper agent working for some Dharma or anti-Dharma agency?

I've been dreading the big Jack-and-Claire-are-siblings reveal for a while, mainly because it seems such a soap opera, "OK, let's throw that in there too!" thing, and not like something they were planing from the beginning. But I guess it went as well as could be expected. I don't like that during Claire's first flashback, with the fortune teller and the pregnancy, there was no mention of her having a mother in a coma. Sometimes I wish the writers were forced to stick to all the pieces they laid out in season one, and not throw in things that weren't mentioned back then.

Finally, that last shot of Jack running for his life and catching a football? Was all kinds of awesome.
