S3 Ep15 "Left Behind"

(started 5/21/10 9:30)



Hurley tells Sawyer there has been talk around camp about Sawyer because of his previous unsavory dealings. There's the possibility of a vote for banishment. Hurley tells him he needs to make amends to people, which he refuses at first, but relents and starts making the rounds. It's awkward and almost endearing.

Turns out Hurley hustled Sawyer into being a nice guy who made people happy. The swindler got swindled. And Sawyer realizes he kind of is a de-facto leader in the absence of Jack, Locke, and Sayid.

Congrats to Hurley.

==============

PCL Kate on the lam, but now with extra Cassidy action. Cassidy of the Sawyer long con has turned out quite nicely. They could have been a new version of Thelma and Louise. Cassidy helps Kate so that she gets a moment with her mother, who still hasn't forgiven her for blowing up Wayne.

Cassidy almost tells Kate her conman's name, but does tell her she's pregnant and she loves him. It's not like Kate and Sawyer don;t have 27 aliases - how would she have known it later on?

============

At the Others Barracks Kate is gassed and wakes up in the jungle handcuffed to Juliet. It's just like the movie with Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier as prisoners on the run - The Defiant Ones. Except that this was written probably to make the male audience hope there's girlfights and mudwrestling in the jungle.

And there is.

But there's also an appearance by the smoke monster. Juliet states they are aware of it, but don't understand it either. Oh, and Juliet has a key to turn off the giant electrical fenceposts.

In between scrappn' and rasslin' and smoke monsters Juliet does tell Kate that that Jack saw the her and Sawyer together on the monitor screen.

They make it back to the Barracks to find Jack and Sayid were left behind as well. They decide the only option is to make the trek back to their beach. Jack insists on bringing Juliet, even though Kate and Sayid are against it.
