First halves of two parters are always a little tricky. A lot of the action is tied up in setting up stuff that won't pay off for another week, and that's doubly true for a show like "Lost." Actually, with a show like "Lost" there's a lot of stuff that won't pay off until next season, if then. Still, the lack of consistency in "Lost" is one of the single most frustrating things about watching it. Sometimes it's really, really on, but other times it gets mired down in its large cast, the multi-layered timelines and the never-ending tease.
Not only is this week's episode tied up in moving people and plots into place for the big conclusion, but it also reminds me a little bit of "Noises Off" in the scene where everyone is running in and out of various doors, just missing each other over and over again. With people running from the boat to the beach to the helicopter to the jungle, it's a tangle of missed connections that's frustrating to watch.
Of course, frustrating as it was, it still had some interesting bits. Let's see how we did on points.
- Comical Sawyer Nicknames: 1 (Genghis, I like it.)
- Great Ben Lines: 1 ("How many times to I have to tell you, John? I always have a plan.")
- Details to Obsess Over: 50 gajillion (Okay, yeah, but let's focus on the note that it's 108 days in the real world from crash to rescue.)
- Things Likely To Blow Up: 2 (I'm saying the orchid station, and the boat.)
- Times I Yelled "WHAT'S UP WITH CLAIRE?": 3 (I scared my cat.)
- Times I Received A Satisfactory Answer: 0 (Bogus, man, bogus.)
We got a little bit more about the experience of the Oceanic 6 when they returned, and got to see more of the official story. There's not much to it that hadn't been hinted at already, though it was a little heartbreaking to see Sayid with his doomed sweetie. Heck, it was even a little sad to see Jack learning that poor little Claire was his half-sister (time number 2 that I yelled about Claire).
I'm so glad that someone asked the very question I was wondering about with this whole island-moving deal. If the guys who are going to blow the place up are still on the island, just exactly what is gained by moving? As Ben says, he's always got a plan, but it's a mystery to us mere mortals. Next week, we'll see what that plan is, and we'll all be amazed at what a super genius Ben is.

Finale. Aw, this is a little sad. Tonight brings the very last episode of "Moonlight," which CBS wouldn't renew. The show has a smallish but very loyal audience, and many believe but for disruption of the writers strike, it would have become a hit. In the final episode, Mick and Josef move to protect their kind after a murder threatens their exposure.
Premiere. If you tend to think of CMT viewers in stereotypes, "Mobile Home Disasters" brings to mind something involving tornadoes, I'm sure. But really this is like a budget version of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." Tonight, the deserving family getting their digs re-done consists of single dad Jim Bigelow and his six boys.
Freeman Agyeman returns to SciFi and "Dr. Who" as Martha Jones, who hips the good doc to the return of archenemies the Sontarans.

It's nothing but blue skies for tonight's episode of "Lost" as we focus in on a plane preparing to land. The pilot of the plane refers to some bad "mojo" that turns out to be the Oceanic Six, who are flying back from the island in cargo class.
It's the closest moment to rescue that we've seen thus far.
And I have to give credit to "Lost": When the survivors first step out of the gaping mouth of the airplane, the slo-mo reunion scene was pretty mushy, but I still couldn't help but cheer when Hurley saw his family and Jack hugged his mom. Of course, the scene was tempered by Kate and Sayid, who had no one waiting for them. At least Hurley pulled Sayid in to meet his family.
Back on the island, Jack and Kate are off to track down the helicopter that dropped them a phone last week. Once in the jungle, Jack starts coming apart at the seams, literally -- Jack disobeyed Juliet's orders to rest so his surgical stitches could heal.
They run into Miles and Sawyer, who hands off baby Aaron to Kate. Jack and Kate ask about Claire, but there's no time. Jack and Sawyer head back into the jungle, and Jack orders Kate to take care of Aaron, who we immediately flashforward to as the Oceanic Airlines tells a group of reporters how Kate delivered the baby on the island.
