Lots of stuff left to watch, but so far (highlight for spoilers):
- Lost: What the hell was that? So Jack's flashback revealed what his tattoo means... sort of? He walks among us but isn't one of us, or Jack's a leader but lonely? Also getting that tattoo means he gets his ass kicked for some reason. And I'm totally unclear why he became so insistent on getting one upon learning that it was Bai Ling's "gift" that he looked ready to beat on her.
And the Jack/Ben/Juliet thing kinda played out how one would expect it to play, with Jack continuing to use his expertise as leverage, but they do introduce a new character, Isabel "the sheriff" (played by Diana Scarwid, who was awesome on Wonderfalls, and was pretty awesome here). The branding of Juliet was kinda unusual.
On the Sawyer/Kate front, nothing interesting happened. Plus it was capped by a cheesy An American Tail shot showing Alex and Karl looking at their same teddy bear constellation. I don't remember a worse Lost episode.
- Jericho: Another show that had a long hiatus, and I have to admit, I forgot what was going on where we left off. But this episode gives us some pre-bomb action, mostly following Hawkins and Jake. Jake's in Southern California or something, struggling to find work after some mystery incident in Iraq ruined his reputation, and then he has to flee from the evil Haliburton like company. Meanwhile, Hawkins has to abduct his family to keep them out of the way of all the bombs, and there's some stuff involving the chick he was living with (including an inexplicable online chat where they have full motion video but no audio). And then we catch back up with where they left off before the hiatus, with the plane crash people showing up, including Roger, Emily's fiancee with a ridiculous fake beard, and Hawkins' girlfriend in the dramatic reveal at the end. Yawn. I've never loved this show, but keep watching for some reason
