Lost 6.8 Review: The Adventures of Jim Sawyer and Kate Finn…

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 12, 2010 -- Outside of giving Holloway some welcome screen time to flesh out his presumed allegiance with Smokey, last night’s episode of Lost was mostly just some padded calm before the storm. The title was ‘Recon’, the last intel gathering activity that usually precedes a battle. That, if nothing else, is welcome news.

On the sideways front, there were some interesting if unrevealing twists. The best of these is that James Ford became a cop instead of a criminal; he describes the discrepancy as a single choice to go one way instead of the other. Also satisfying from a fan perspective, is finding that Miles (Ken Leung) is his partner on the force and when Miles plans to set Sawyer up with a date, it turns out to be everyone’s favorite redhead named after an English writer, C.S. Lewis (Rebecca Mader).

It makes sense, however, that James is still haunted by the death of his parents as a result of the actions of Anthony Cooper and that he still wants to track him down. Miles suspects Jim’s recent trip away wasn’t actually for relaxation, and has sent Charlotte in as recon of his own. When Ford finally does confess to Miles that he’s been planning to find and then kill Cooper, the conversation is cut short by a car smashing into their vehicle. The driver of the car; Kate Austen. Ford tracks her down on foot and then apprehends her, ending the sideways flashes with the reunion of Kate and Sawyer.

The end is coming, and it’s drawing down on all of us with an unflinching finality. Of course, the ‘us’ I’m referring to are Lost fans and the ‘end’ is May 23rd, when the six year tour of Abram’s mysterious island finally draws to a close.

With each passing week and fleeting episode, the window narrows and the opportunity for answers shrinks. What exactly will be explained, and what will be left blowing in the wind for years to come?

Thanks to this weekend’s William S. Paley Television Fest and a Lost panel that included showrunners Cuse and Lindelof, as well as stars Terry O’Quinn, Michael Emerson, Zuleikha Robinson, and Nestor Carbonell, we actually have a few of those answers.

Like all things ‘Lost’, some of it’s frustratingly vague, some exasperating, and all of it makes us rabid to see what’s coming up as it all winds down. There’s definitely something of interest here to the die-hard fans, especially those of us who have long-held or half-baked (or maybe both!) theories about what the end-game for this beast will look like. I’ve got theories formulated back in 06 that still seem credible and haven’t been confirmed or denied by the show’s more recent seasons. Part of me fears they might still be that way when the smoke (monster) does finally clear away.
