That's right, folks, it's gonna be a Kate episode. Stick around for the fun.

*places a remote out on the table*

There's the clicker. No one'd blame you.

 

[Trekker4747]

Thank-God I only watch Lost on TiFaux now.

 

[Kira's Mom]

The one night I might be home in time for a live commentary, it has to be a Kate episode.

There should be some good on island stuff goin' on with Saving Little Ben

Kate: the biggest mystery on Lost!

I don't really mind Kate but her episodes usually suck out loud

In any event I think I'll be able to actually participate tonight for the first time in weeks. I keep saying that but I inevitably get Lost guests dropping by. Tonight I'm taking the phone off the hook and locking the fucking door

The good news: Tonight's is written by Lindelof and Cuse who pretty much always deliver standout episodes.

The bad news: It's a Kate episode.

I honestly can't call this one in advance.

Damon and Carlton really are the shit. Not surprisingly, they have relatively few Kate episodes between them. It breaks down like this:

Damon:
Tabula Rasa
Whatever The Case May Be
I Do (The best Kate ep yet, IMO)
Left Behind

Carlton:
I Do (with Damon)

Clearly Carlton's sporting the better record here, but still. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

 

[sidious618]

Well, I hated Whatever the Case May Be and didn't particularly like I Do so maybe I'm in for trouble.

 

[DeafPoet]

"Whatever The Case May Be" was indeed bad. "I Do" had the benefit of Nathan Fillion and a reasonable Island story to help it along. The flashbacks (as usual) for a Kate episode weren't great but they were as good as they ever got.

Also it wins for this: "Kate dammit, RUN!"

 

[Brent]

I'll tell you what happened, the Island hapened!

can't wait!

 

[Trippy]

All ready...let's go!

 

[cubbie]

*waits impatiently*

 

[Kira's Mom]

Yay! I was able to get out of choir early, so I'm here!

Here we go.

 

[Brent]

Don't tell me Kate gave the kid to THAT women! Kate's a bitch!

 

[DeafPoet]

"Sawyer sent me." Woo!

Could we be in for a decent Kate ep?!!

 

[Trippy]

Well I KNEW that's what he said to Kate!

Might actually be a good Kate episode

 

[Velocity]

Roger actually sounded like a parent for a change. "That's my kid!"

 

[Gertch]

After a few minutes of recap and a few minutes of show I'm already in the Lost zone. Anxiously awaiting with raised blood pressure and giddy smile on my face.

 

[Kira's Mom]

Sawyer sent me. Ooooooo, could be a good Kate episode for a change!
