Recaps that I enjoyed reading this week: Jeff (Doc) Jensen, in his recap at EW, calls Kate a “Good Shepherdess” in this episode, because she runs after the “sad strays of her flighty flock” — grieving Sawyer on the Island and pregnant Claire, all alone in L.A. Jensen writes about how the title is in [...]

Thoughts on 6×03 “What Kate Does”
February 11th, 2010 by Ms Terri · 2 Comments · 6x03 What Kate Does, Recaps and reviews
Though this episode wasn’t as exciting as the season premiere, there was much here to like. Transitions between timelines Most of the Island scenes flowed right into the Mainland scenes, and vice-versa. It reminded me of the way the flashbacks worked in Season 1, where there would be some action on the Island and then [...]

LOST recaps
February 7th, 2010 by Ms Terri · 1 Comment · 6x01-02 LA X, Recaps and reviews
While I reserve the right to change my mind, I’m probably not going to be doing recaps this year. For one thing, my life is going to be chaotic for a while. I’m going to be moving back (and forth? and back?) across the country. But even if I had the time, I would still [...]

Lee)
Although the episode title refers to a “leader” in the singular, there are actually two leaders in this episode who set out on parallel treks in different times — Jack in 1977 and Locke in 2007. Each is convinced that he is finally acting out his destiny. And each has Richard Alpert tagging along, as [...]

Recap of 5×14 The Variable
April 29th, 2009 by Ms Terri · 4 Comments · 5x14 The Variable, Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick), Destiny versus Free Will, Dr. Chang (Francois Chau), Ellie in 1977 (Alice Evans), Eloise Hawking (Fionnula Flanagan), Faraday (Jeremy Davies), Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell), Kate (Evangeline Lilly), Miles (Ken Leung), Penny (Sonya Walger), Penny and Desmond, Recaps and reviews, Sawyer (Josh Holloway), Suliet (Sawyer and Juliet), Time travel, Widmore (Alan Dale)
An amazing episode. After we’ve heard Jack wail so many times, “We have to go back! We have to go back!” it turns out that no, they didn’t have to go back after all. Faraday’s theory about how you can’t change the past is turned on its head. We see Mommy issues that are just [...]

Instant recap of the LOST clip-show special “The Story of the Oceanic 6″
April 22nd, 2009 by Ms Terri · 4 Comments · Clip shows, Recaps and reviews, Season 4, Season 5
I’m typing this up during the commercial breaks of the show. 9:08 First segment was a fast-paced recap of the first four seasons, except for the flash-forwards, with the most emphasis placed on Season 4, especially the part where the Oceanic 6 decided they were going to lie when they got back. It was okay. [...]

Recap 5×12 Dead is Dead
April 10th, 2009 by Ms Terri · No Comments · 5x12 Dead is Dead, Ben (Michael Emerson), Egyptian mythology and hieroglyphics, Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Recaps and reviews, Smoke monster
Ben, still wracked with guilt over Alex’s death, has come back to the Island to be judged by Smokie, who he calls “The Monster.” That name could just as easily be applied to Ben himself. Ben is a cold-blooded killer, as we see in both the present storytime and the past via flashback. In the [...]
