S1: Confidence Man

Sawyer gets his moment to shine in Confidence Man.  And we also get the beginning of the Jack-Kate-Sawyer love triangle.  Since Sawyer is one of the better characters that I like, this storyline hasn't left my long term memory and this episode didn't move me as much as some of the others thus far.  If you know Sawyer is the good bad guy, or the bad good guy, depending on how you look at it.

To say it a different way, Sawyer is obviously the bad boy that everybody loves to hate, and hates to love.  This episode gives you more reason to do either.  Maybe you begin to love/hate Kate for kissing him.  Maybe you love/hate Jack and Sayid for going to extremes and doing the opposite of what they preach which is bringing people together, not tearing them apart.  I guess it's just fun when you add Sawyer to the mix, everybody else goes crazy and doesn't act like themselves.

Bonus:  Claire is back and Charlie appears to be all better.  Hooray!

I forgot that Sayid decided to leave the group, but I definitely agree with his decision because we have to move the story forward somehow and that isn't going to happen with people just hanging out on a beach or in a cave because this is Lost and if it were just about watching people that were lost then that would be boring.  Until next time, just keep breathing and if you're having trouble, some eucalyptus may help.
