Lost in Action

Say what you will about last night's Lost episode, it can't be denied that there was finally some overdue - in my opinion, and the magical elves who live in my backyard agree - action to it.

Jack's father hangs out with Ana-Lucia in Australia? Ana knows that Jack is Christian's son? Jack has a half-sister? Ana and Sawyer get it on? Fenry wanted Locke all along because he is 'one of the good ones'? Hanso Foundation commercial on TV, anyone? Michael guns down Ana and Libby, then himself? This is what you get for driving under the influence?

What we learned is that Jack's father, Christian, can be found in a bar near you in Australia, but not why he thought it necessary to hire security (Ana) to accompany him on his trip to down under.

The fans seemed to quite unanimously come to the conclusion that Claire must be Jack's half-sister because the woman portraying the mother was Australian. And blonde. No evidence of creepy psychic though - not that I could see anyway, but wait untill those screencaps go up and we'll talk.

Ana had sex with Sawyer in order to distract him and get his gun - insert dirty joke here! - so that she could try fake kill fake Henry? But you just know that Henry doesn't go down like that, right? She's new though, and she has only killed a few times before this so we'll give her a break.

Kudos to the writers on the show for the Henry character; Michael Emerson, the actor who portrays the evil genius, has added tension and drama to the somewhat dragging (read: boring) episodes of late, and manages to look hot in bandages while doing it. Not many people can, you know.

What?

Right; the killing. So Michael drew the short stick and had to do the 'actresses arrested for DUI - firing' on the network's behalf, and shots himself in the process. Ana is dead but Libby not so much? At least that's what the rumourmill is saying.

Seems that Ana and her trailer have been MIA of the Lost set for a while now - well she was in prison, for reals - but Libby and her trailer-house is still firmly parked on the ground in Hawai. Of course one could argue the fact that Cynthia Watros has been signed on to 'guest star' on another CBS show with Tom Cavanagh, but I won't.

Come on, we need Libby on the show to find out why she was in the nuthouse with Hurley (and Dave), and who else on the show can we rely on to bring scandalous mugshots for us to enjoy for years to come? Ok, not years; they did kill Boone and Shannon and Hawai just doesn't have the police force or the booze to go by.

Michael shot himself? Yep, but only on the arm/shoulder area, or so it definitely seemed (And you know he's going to blame it all on poor Fenry). Michael can't just go and die now - or haven't you heard; he just wants his kid back! And I'll bet the others made him do it, promising him to get Walt. Walt? You ask; Because he is special; he can even appear in the rain and speak
backwards.

And my cat's breath smells like catfood. (Ok, that wasn't me, it was a character from The Simpsons, but I had to use it. Because I don't have a cat.)

Next week's episode is titled "?" And boy do we have a lot of those.
