Lost - Season 3 - Episode 55 - Not In Portland

Damn right they're not.

I must admit that Heroes has jaded me, but if ABC is airing 16 episodes of Lost straight without any repeats beginning tonight, then I'm willing to go for the ride.

The year's first episode continues last year's cliffhanger where Jack threatens to kill Ben in order to help Kate and Sawyer escape. I'm not too excited about having Juliet as the central character in this episode, but it did give yet again another painful clue on why these people are on the island. It looks as if the "Others" are recruits of Ben. Now whether or not they can really leave the island as Ben wishes is still a mystery.

So Kate and Sawyer manage to get off the tiny island back to their big island, and Jack is stuck with the Others. Kate will form a rescue party in a future episode.

That's it??? And ABC expects us to come back and salivate for more next week? Sigh. Thank god Sawyer is still HOT.
