The Good Shephard

This is shaping up to be the most lopsided kickball game ever.

Team Flocke has Sayid, Claire, and a confused Kate.

Sayid and Claire are so F'n evil right now. I don't even know how or why but it's the only thing I know for sure.

Despite what you might assume, Sawyer should still be considered a wild card. He may have played nice for 3 years in the Seventies but this is a man who does his best work when he's thinking for himself.

Team Jacob isn't really a team, but rather anyone else who isn't with the black shirt dude.

We have Hurley, Ilyana, Sun, Miles, Lapidus and...

Ben was in this group, but now we will have an epsiode devoted to his demise. If the show can make us care about it's most despicable character... it can do ANYTHING!

Lapidus and Miles are around for comic relief. Which is fine, because Sawyer hasen't been funny in awhile. Lapidus could use a new Tommy Bahama shirt and Miles should be given the gold for outrunning the smoke monster.

Richard Alpert (with his magical mascara and age defying skin cream) shouldn't be forgotten. He's probably one of the only people on the island who knows what's what. I'm going to venture a guess that he pops out of the woods somewhere and meets up with Hujack (Hugo-Jack).









At this point, Jack seems to be entering every scene kicking and screaming, and he's always been rather predictable. We're supposed to assume that his doctor brains are going to figure out how to do the right thing. I'm not so sure. Jack has made the most confident decisions out of anyone, but he has a horrible track record of making good ones. Ah, the hell with it. Jack is a boy scout. He's practically Captain America. He came to this island to do two things: administer CPR and kick ass. Well, he's fresh out of CPR!

On a side note: I have this uneasy feeling that at some point we are going to have watch him administer his famous "I will pound the crap out of your chest" CPR on Hurley.

The jury is still out on Jin, who was last seen watching Clocke (Claire-Locke) share a weird moment. He obviously recognizes that Claire is batshit crazy. Friendly faces aren't what they used to be.

The painfully slow build to the reunion of Jin and Sun should be a good payoff. Cue the sad music and montage though, because one of these two probably won't make it.

Hey, you Jin some and you lose Sun.
