The Lost Diary

00:03 -- Charlie speaking = even worse.

00:04 -- Arzt is a bit of a downer, isn't he?

00:05 -- Kate wants to get on the raft with Michael, presumably so she can disappear and not be captured should they ever get rescued. Her priorities are, as usual, way out of wack.

00:06 -- I've always had a really hard time believing Kate could ever elude authorities. Every time they show her in that "mode," I just don't buy it.

00:08 -- As Jin and Sun have their first conversation in ages, I can't help but notice -- Jin still has the one handcuff on his wrist. That has to suck by now.

00:09 -- Our first look at the hatch, all dug out. Man, you never forget your first time.

00:10 -- I know I will lose a few female readers here, but I like it better when Kate and Sawyer are enemies more than when they're, you know, making sweaty, dirty, island cage love.

00:11 -- "Hey Sawyer, if I want your spot, I'll get your spot." -- Kate. Yeah, just doesn't do anything for me.

00:12 -- "This island, uh, finding it again might be hard." -- Michael

00:14 -- As I watch Jack and Locke debate about lying and the hatch and whatnot, I wonder: Is this the first of the many debates between Jack and Locke that highlighted a lot of season 2? Man of science, man of faith, remember? These two were never exactly the best of friends, but it's the hatch that truly separated them and this is the beginning of that.

00:15 -- Michael's come down with stomach pains and as we know, nothing happens on this island for no reason. Did someone poison him? I honestly don't remember.

00:17-- Kate and the guy she has wrapped around her finger go out into the middle of nowhere at night to dig up something.

00:18 -- Jack suspects someone of poisoning Michael's water. Stay tuned for more of this week's exciting episode of "Law & Order: Creepy Island Unit."

00:19 -- "You know, the whole fugitive thing." -- Hurley

00:21 -- Claire give Charlie a haircut and fails to injure him in anyway.

00:22 -- Jack accuses Kate of poisoning Michael and I kind of agree with him. I really have absolutely no memory of this episode, except for the flashbacks -- those I remember.

00:23 -- And there is the little time capsule that Kate and the guy she has wrapped around her finger buried when they were kids -- and the plane Kate carries around with her on the island.

00:25 -- "You always want to run away, Katie." -- Young version of guy Kate has wrapped around her finger.

00:27 -- "Don't open it, Mr. Locke. Don't open that thing." -- Walt to Locke. That's the kind of moment that makes "Lost" ... well, "Lost."

00:28 -- Sawyer outs Kate as a criminal to everyone in an incredibly petty scene that really didn't do much for me at all.

00:31 -- Kate's reunion with her mom went about as well as could be expected.

00:33 -- Boy the cops are sure overreacting to a screaming cancer patient, aren't they?

00:34 -- RIP guy Kate has wrapped around her finger.

00:35 -- No one seems to like Kate anymore. Sometimes I am amazed how anyone is still friends with anyone else on the island.

00:37 -- Sun tried to poison Jin to keep him from going on the raft. And that concludes this week's episode of "CSI: Island in the Middle of Nowhere."

00:39 -- "Because they're ain't anything on this island worth staying for." -- Sawyer

00:41 -- "Yes we do." -- Walt

Ramping down towards the end of the season, I'd say this episode is a bit of letdown. Episodes in the beginning and end of the season are judged differently than shows in the middle of the season. There are only 2 more episodes after this one,  and it doesn't bring the goods like it should.

I give this episode a C, and that's really only because of Walt -- who once again brought the creepy side of his personality to the forefront (which, I would argue, I feel like they never fully paid off).

Two more episodes to go ... man this has gone by fast, huh?
