lafleur

As the great philosopher Rick Springfield once said, you better love somebody, it's late. You better love somebody, don't wait. You better love somebody, don't...tempt fate. That's sort of what happened with Sawyer and Juliet did on last night's episode of Lost, isn't it?

Kate is gone, and Sawyer didn't know if he was going to see her again. Same with Jack. Juliet didn't know what was going to happen. So Sawyer and Juliet got together. I'm not saying that they "settled" for each other because they didn't have anyone else (though when you're on an island and you don't have many choices...). I'm sure they actually fell in love in the three years depicted in the episode.

And then at the end, Kate returns to the island and Sawyer has to deal with all of it again. Oh oh. (This show has something for everybody, whether you like soap opera love triangle plots or killer smoke monsters and time travel.)

I think the best way to describe this episode was safe. Nothing crazy or out of place happened and you knew how it was going to end the second it began. Think of it this way - when we first started watching Lost, it was like dumping a giant puzzle onto the floor. At this point, the entire puzzle is assembled, and for the most part, we can almost see the big picture, save for a bunch of pieces that are still missing. "LaFleur" was one of those pieces.
