So Charlotte, Lost’s most annoying on-island (for Season 5) character is dead, and I’m supposed to care.
I don’t mean to sound callow, but ever since she showed up on the island (“Don’t you people want to be rescued?”), she annoyed me, and I’m just not sad to see she’s gone. Or, as The Civee put it, “I’m glad Charlotte’s dead, because this plot is boring.”
I wouldn’t entirely put it that way–her last few minutes established that Faraday tried to break his “don’t do it, because you can’t change it anyway” rule, which should mean he gets into some interesting situations during his next jump. Speaking of which, if he meets Charlotte back in the day, then shouldn’t he be, like, her Constant?
Perhaps the most interesting revelation in tonight’s episode comes from a different story thread: John Locke can’t follow orders. When he meets Christian at the bottom of the well, Christian emphasizes the fact that Locke was supposed to move the island. But Ben moved it instead, causing the whole mess the island has gotten itself into. Well, a few seconds later, Christian tells Locke he has to push the frozen donkey wheel. And what does Locke do? Well, permit me to illustrate:

In the above screen capture, we see Locke with the wheel. The blue arrow represents the direction Locke would have had to go to push the wheel. However, Locke moves in the direction of the yellow arrow, pulling the wheel.
And this is the guy they expect to save the island?

Tonight’s episode of Lost, The Little Prince, didn’t have a lot of action, but it made up for that with answers and more riddles. Most of this show seemed to be about groups of people doing things. More specifically, groups of men. Locke and Sawyer had their little bonding moment. Sayid and Ben (and somewhat Jack, when he wasn’t trying to help Kate out) also spent some quality time together. The most surprising thing in this episode was the transformation of Sawyer into Mr. Emotion.

After eight months, Lost picks right up from where it left off with two new episodes, Because You Left and The Lie. The show which seemingly juggles genres finally started probing two issues that it had hinted at in earlier years–time travel and (well, for the first scene at lease) the workings of the DHARMA Initiative.

For the past four TV seasons, the survivors of the crash of Oceanic 815 have been stranded on an island.
