S3 Ep4 "Every Man For Himself"

(started 5/21/10 12:00)

People on this show aren't very good at coming up with Master Plans For Escape. Sawyer wets the ground with is waterpipe his plan is to make himself get shocked by electrical current and reach out to a guard at the same time. Sawyer knows how much current he can take since he got tased, but the guard won't have that going for him. Really? That's what you come up with?

Of course Ben knows because of the monitors. So the next day when Ben comes by it doesn't work, because they have turned to electricity off in the food bin. Wha wha whaaaaa. At least now Sawyer knows that the Others are watching them.

They install a pacemaker on Sawyer that will kill him if his pulse rises above 140. Or if the bus goes below 65. Where's Sandra Bullock when you need her?

Colleen, who got shot by Sun, is dying on the operating table and Juliet brings Jack in. He can't save her either because their crash cart is not working. Jeez people. How's a man supposed to work here?

Danny beats the crap out of Sawyer afterward, and because of the pacemaker he doesn't fight back. Kate can't understand why. I'm guessing that your pulse still rises when you're getting whacked in the face, whether you are defending or not. He stops only when Kate admits she loves it. It took way too long for her to do that too. If somebody is beating a guy and asking me if I love him I'll say Yes even if I never laid eyes on him before. It's about keeping the dental work. Too expensive.

Jack tells Juliet he thinks he's been brought there to save someone. He saw xrays in the clinic and somebody's got a too-mah. Hopefully they have the medical equipment up to snuff by then.

The pacemaker is a fakeout. Ben brings Sawyer to a lookout point to show him they are on a different island and there is no escape. No matter - Sawyer can make a good plan to save his life anyway, remember?

PCL sawyer is in prison. He helps the warden rip off another prisoner to lessen his own jail time. Sawyer also received a visit from former con victim Cassidy, who tells him he has a daughter in New Mexico. Sawyer takes his cut of the proceeds from the warden and has an account set up for the kid he won't publicly acknowledge.

Ben sounds like Kevin Spacey and hearing his voice in my headphones but not seeing him while I write is a little unnerving. I expect to want to buy a Honda or get Gwyneth's head delivered to me in a box.
