4-13 Recap	Oh, You Said Move The Island There's No Place Like Home, Part 2 - Remember how you thought Locke was going to move the island metaphorically. You were wrong. The island is gone, taking with it some of our favorite Losties. Other Losties were on the helicopter when it happened. Yet others were on the freighter. Which exploded.

4-9 Recap	Is That A Baton In Your Pocket? The Shape Of Things To Come - Ben turns out to be a real badass. Not just in the "orchestrating the murder and mass burial of everyone he knows" way that we've already seen -- it turns out he's some kind of ferret-faced ninja with a collapsible baton. We feel so conflicted.	04.24.2008 04.30.2008	B	LTG
4-8 Recap	Meet Kevin Johnson Meet Kevin Johnson - We see the story of how Michael came to work for Ben. As you might inspect, it involves lots misery and angst about Walt, along with guilt over the two women he murdered. And on the island, Karl and Rousseau get shot. So it's fun all around.	03.20.2008 03.26.2008	B-	LTG
4-7 Recap	Baby's Got Back Ji Yeon - And forward. As in flashback and flash-forward. They're all mixed together in this episode, as we see Jin in the past and Sun (and her new baby) in the future. Trippy.	03.12.2008 03.19.2008	B+	LTG

4-4 Recap	Thanks, But I'm Not Hungry Eggtown - Kate's on trial in the future-forwards, and thanks to perjury from Jack and a so-called medical emergency from her mother (star witness for the defence), Kate walks with nothing more than probation.

4-2 Recap	What Is The Monster? Confirmed Dead - What is the monster? That's the best question Locke can come up with? The island clearly didn't choose him for his brains.	02.06.2008 02.13.2008	A	LTG
4-1 Recap	Can't Keep A Dead Hobbit Down The Beginning Of The End - Charlie's dead, but he still manages to appear and speak with Hurley in the flash-forward.

3-22 Recap	The End. With Questions. Through The Looking Glass - The mega season finale leaves almost as many questions as answers. Are the Lostaways finally rescued? And who is rescuing them if it's not Penny? Will Desmond be able to warn them in time? Is Charlie really dead? Is Jack really that fugly with a beard?	05.22.2007 05.28.2007	A	LuluBates
3-21 Recap	Footprints Greatest Hits - Having a best friend who looks just like Jesus must be hard for Charlie, especially when that same friend tells you that you have to die in order to save everyone else from their eternal suffering. I mean, he would know from self-sacrifice, right?	05.15.2007 05.20.2007	B+	LuluBates

3-18 Recap	What To Expect When You're Expecting Trouble D.O.C. - Sun and Juliet trek through the jungle to determine the date of conception of Sun's baby in the medical station. No handcuffs, no mud wrestling, just uncomfortable conversation about sperm counts, affairs, and Island sex lives. Boring!

3-15 Recap	Hot Girl-on-Girl Action Left Behind - When Kate and Juliet get gassed and handcuffed together in the woods, wacky hijinks are sure to ensue. But a cat fight? With a mud puddle?

3-8 Recap	It's Time To Switch To Whisky, We've Been Drinking Beer All Night Flashes Before Your Eyes - It's Desmond in an almost all-flashback spectacular, with people getting hit by cricket bats and crushed to death under collapsing scaffolding, and hot roasted chestnuts, and adorable Cockney accents, all of which teach Desmond that if the universe wants Charlie to die? Charlie's gonna die.	02.13.2007 02.19.2007	C-	Daniel
3-7 Recap	Friendly Fire Not In Portland - Jack's withholding-surgery plan works, as Ben apparently gives in and orders Juliet to help Sawyer and Kate get off the island.

3-6 Recap	First Do Not That Much Harm I Do - Jack says he won't do Ben's surgery, but after seeing Sawyer and Kate in post-coital bliss, he says he will -- because he's got a plan!

3-4 Recap	No Man Is an Island Every Man For Himself - Sawyer's bent on making a nuisance of himself, so the Others stage an elaborate con in order to get him to behave, instead of just chopping off a finger or something.

3-3 Recap	The drugs are working Further Instructions - Locke builds a sweat lodge and takes some drugs (oh, sure, but if Charlie tried that, he'd freak) and gets the bright idea to go looking for Eko, who's been dragged to a polar bear cave, presumably to be eaten.	10.17.2006 10.23.2006	B-	Daniel
3-2 Recap	Gone out the window The Glass Ballerina - Jae wants Sun to leave Jin, but she won't, and when Sun's dad finds out about the affair, he makes up a story about Jae stealing and sends Jin to kill him.

3-1 Recap	Jack On Crack A Tale Of Two Cities - Kate showers and dresses, Jack obsesses, and Sawyer proves himself dumber than your average bear. Let's be charitable and say the third-season opener is long on setup, instead of short on plot.	10.03.2006 10.09.2006	C-	Daniel
2-23 Recap	If you don't know Des by now, you will never, never, never know him.

2-21 Recap	It's hard out here for a gimp ? - We find a hatch that's full of mystery, and Eko and Locke watch a film called Orientation. It's not a clip show, I don't think. But pretty soon the "new hatch!" crutch for sustaining interest is going to get old. Also, Ana-Lucia is dead, and Libby is dying. And no one knows Michael did it.	05.09.2006 05.15.2006	B+	Daniel
2-20 Recap	So glad to have you back, Michael Two For The Road - Ana-Lucia screws Sawyer so she can get his gun, but then stunningly is unable to execute a man who assaulted her. This is called character development. And then Michael kills her.	05.02.2006 05.08.2006	B	Daniel
2-19 Recap	Make sure your sign doesn't read S.O.S. - Bernard bullies everyone on the island to help him save his wife.

2-18 Recap	This is the Dave I know Dave - Hurley sees an old friend from the asylum; clearly, he's hallucinating -- and as we examine his relationship with Dave back in the institution, it becomes clear pretty quickly that he was hallucinating then too.

2-17 Recap	During the Locke-down, John needs a little Gale force Lockdown - Locke gets sealed up in the hatch with Henry and catches a little glimpse of an island map, visible only under black light. Sayid's found Henry's grave, only by "Henry's grave," I mean that a guy named Henry didn't DIG the grave; a guy named Henry is IN the grave.	03.28.2006 04.03.2006	C+	Daniel
2-16 Recap	All change, she's having a baby The Whole Truth - Sun takes a pregnancy test. It's positive. Which is possibly negative. Because she's positive that Jin's ability to father children is negative. And this episode finally answers the question: Is Henry an Other? Or, at least, it asks it for maybe the last time? Oh, who are we kidding.	03.21.2006 03.27.2006	C	Daniel
2-15 Recap	Sisters are screwing it up for themselves Maternity Leave - Claire, Rousseau, and Kate go running across the island in search of medicine for Aaron, the first baby ever to get sick. Meanwhile, Claire flashes back to when she was Ethan's captive and high all the time and prepared to give Aaron up. And Rousseau's supposed to be more good than crazy now, I guess, thanks to the female bonding going, like a movie that should probably have Shirley MacLaine and Winona Ryder in it or something.	02.28.2006 03.06.2006	B+	Daniel
2-14 Recap	In torture we trust One Of Them - For anyone who thought it was weird that a soldier in Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard somehow acquired torturing skills, this episode addresses that burning question: it was the U.S. Army who gave them to him.

They also learn that the Others are a bunch of hairy hillbillies with guns and they don't take kindly to strangers. Ultimately, Jack decides to see how kindly they take to a makeshift army of Lostaways. My guess is that they won't be too fond of that either.	01.17.2006 01.23.2006	B-	Erin
2-10 Recap	The Lord is my Shephard The 23rd Psalm - Charlie and Eko go on a hike to find the drug plane, since Eko might know a thing or two about it.

2-9 Recap	I can't allow you to do that, Michael What Kate Did - Kate's Jerry Springer archetype stepdad gets blowed up real good, which is what sent her down her life of running from the law and killing people for little toy airplanes.	11.29.2005 12.05.2005	B	Daniel
2-8 Recap	Good…bad…Ana's the one with the gun Collision - Ana-Lucia flashes back to her days as one of L.A.'s finest, and a lapse in judgment costs her her unborn baby. Amazingly, despite a tragic backstory, she remains largely unsympathetic.	11.22.2005 11.29.2005	C	Daniel
2-7 Recap	Get your hands off my chicken The Other 48 Days - The first month and a half for the Tailaways. It's a lot quicker and yet a lot more slow-motion-y.

2-6 Recap	Shannon's death, take two Abandoned - Shannon and Sayid get down to business, and then Shannon, in her nth attempt to prove how useful she is, runs right into a bullet.	11.08.2005 11.14.2005	B	Daniel

2-4 Recap	Dyno-mite! Everybody Hates Hugo - Hurley's wary of the problems the hatch-hole food will cause, so he's prepared to blow it all up. Fortunately, his insanity doesn't last long.	10.11.2005 10.17.2005	B-	Daniel
2-3 Recap	The petty details of so-and-so's life Orientation - Desmond initiates the Lostaways in the ways of the hatch, specifically, the timer and the alarm and entering the code. As to what happens otherwise, or why, or what any of this means, well, we're going to have to wait a few more episodes (or maybe seasons).	10.04.2005 10.10.2005	B	Daniel
2-2 Recap	Way down in the hole Adrift - When you walk through the jungle, better watch your back. Well, I beg your pardon, walk the straight and narrow track. If you walk with Desmond, he's gonna save your soul. You gotta keep the devil way down in the hole.	09.27.2005 10.03.2005	B-	Daniel
2-1 Recap	Desmond's got a gun Man Of Science, Man Of Faith - We finally, FINALLY get into the hatch. Who's inside? Why, someone Jack knows! I mean, we've never seen this guy before tonight, but still: Dun dun DUN!	09.20.2005 09.26.2005	B+	Daniel
1-24 Recap	I was blown up by a pirate ship Exodus, Part II - Now say that while pulling at the corners of your mouth with your index fingers. Arse blows up, as does the hatch, but we don't get to see what's inside. The rafters meet another boat, but instead of rescuing the lostaways, the boaters kidnap Walt, shoot Sawyer and blow up the raft. That could have gone better, eh?	05.24.2005 05.30.2005	B	Daniel

Born To Run - Kate's the first lostaway to get her third flashback episode, and we learn more about the man she loved, the man she killed (albeit not directly or intentionally).

1-21 Recap	Putting The "Fun" Back In "Funeral" The Greater Good - Jack and Locke have a fight at Boone's funeral, and Jack reveals to everyone present that Locke lied to him about Boone's accident. This makes Shannon think that Locke murdered Boone. When Sayid doesn't kill Locke for her, she tries to take matters into her own hands. She fails, of course, because she's useless.	05.03.2005 05.07.2005	B-	LTG
1-20 Recap	Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before The Journey - ABC graciously airs an illuminating hour-long synopsis of the season up until this point, going over key points for longtime viewers and helping new viewers get up to speed. Or they threw together a hour's worth of "previously on Lost" scenes in a transparent attempt to mollify fans annoyed at scheduling irregularities, as well as making some easy advertising money. Any way you want it, that's the way you need it.	04.26.2005 05.02.2005	N/A	Daniel
1-20 Recap	The anvil of life Do No Harm - Claire has her baby, delivered by Kate, while Jack does everything in his power to save Boone, because Jack has trouble letting go of things. Yes, even of Boone.	04.05.2005 04.11.2005	B	Daniel
1-19 Recap	Immaculate misconception Deus Ex Machina - Locke meets his mother, who gave him up for adoption years ago. We hear a lot about fate and things that are meant to be, which turn out to be garbage when Locke loses a kidney to his deadbeat dad.

1-13 Recap	Pure guava Hearts And Minds - Boone wants to let Shannon in on the secret of the hatch -- not that there's anything to tell, yet. So Locke ties Boone and Shannon up, and then Lostzilla eats Shannon. Only NOT REALLY.	01.11.2005 01.17.2005	B-	Daniel
1-12 Recap	Pulp friction Whatever the Case May Be - We get more of Kate's rootin', tootin', bank-robbin' backstory this episode, as she lies her way to getting back something that belonged to a man she loved -- and KILLED. And Shannon whines because Boone calls her useless. Truth hurts.	01.04.2005 01.10.2005	C-	Daniel
1-11 Recap	There's Nothing Autoerotic About Autoerotic Asphyxiation All The Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues - It's Role Reversal Week on Craphole Island! Once Kate was useless; now she's a trained tracker. Once Locke was a crazy-eyed loon; now he's the calm voice of reason. Once Jack was a level-headed leader; now he plunges headlong into danger, risking the lives of others.

1-9 Recap	Drivin' Your Green With My Three-Iron of Love Solitary - Sayid, on a trek to map the island, is caught in a snare, imprisoned, and tortured. He flashes back to his time spent as an interrogator in Iraq's Republican Guard. He meets Rousseau, steals her maps of the island, tries to convince her to join the castaways, and eventually ends up wandering in the jungle, terrified, as voices swirl around him. Meanwhile, everyone else plays golf. Dan Kwa wrote this recap in an hour flat, which means he had no damn time to write a clever Show Index Description, and instead cut and pasted the recaplet.	11.16.2004 11.21.2004	B	Dan Kawa
1-8 Recap	Just Because My Words Were Lies (Doesn't Mean My Love Weren't True) Confidence Man - Kate knows that you attract more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. But Sawyer knows that what attracts the most flies of all is bullshit.	11.09.2004 11.13.2004	B-	Dan Kawa
1-7 Recap	Digging in the dirt The Moth - Jack's trapped in a cave-in. Getting him out has the double benefit of making Kate love him more and helping Charlie kick heroin. Sayid gets knocked out by someone. Also, if you watch really closely, you might see a moth or two, but it's quite subtle.	11.02.2004 11.08.2004	C-	Daniel
1-6 Recap	That Girl From Pyongyang (Unfurled My Long Wang) House Of The Rising Sun - This week's overly complicated backstory: Jin worked as an enforcer for Sun's father in Koreastralia. Sun almost left him for good at the Sydney airport, but gave him one more chance. Now she's stuck on an island with a bunch of people who don't know she speaks English. Meanwhile, Charlie gets stung by bees, Jack and Kate strip down, Michael gets beat up, and those two desiccated corpses just pretty much lie there.	10.26.2004 10.30.2004	B-	Dan Kawa
1-5 Recap	Drink Deep Of My Sparkling Stream White Rabbit - I guess you were watching Game Seven of the ALCS, huh? Me too. Turns out you missed the most blah episode of Lost yet, as Jack stumbles through the jungle searching for a hallucination of his dead father. His vision quest or whatever takes him to a cave and a freshwater stream. It's a metaphor. For leadership. Or maybe acceptance of death. Hard to say.	10.19.2004 10.25.2004	C-	Dan Kawa
1-4 Recap	I Wanna Touch You Outback Walkabout - Before the crash, Locke was a sad phone-sex addict who worked at Initech and used a wheelchair. Now he's a virile knife-thrower who can face a monster and drag a dead boar all the way to the beach. Plane crashes: Your ticket to a Brand New You!	10.12.2004 10.17.2004	B	Dan Kawa
1-3 Recap	Baby, Let Me Clean Your Slate (Until It Can't Get Any Cleaner) Tabula Rasa - Through extensive flashbacks to Olde Australia, we learn that...well, we learn that Kate got caught by Marshal Shrap, and she has a heart of gold, both of which we already knew. No one feels it necessary to tell us what crime she actually committed.	10.05.2004 10.10.2004	C+	Dan Kawa
1-2 Recap	The Second Time Is Always the Sweetest Time (For Rammin') Pilot, Part II - "Guys, where are we?" Charlie asks, and though in this second episode -- significantly better than the first -- we don't learn the answer to that question, we do learn a few things. The island has a polar bear and a radio transmitter, and the radio transmitter has been broadcasting the same SOS for 16 years. Kate was a prisoner being transported back to the States by a Federal marshal. Charlie's ridin' the horse, and Sayid was in the Republican Guard. Sawyer is an ass-kicker. Claire's baby is a belly-kicker. Walt has a dog. And Locke has a secret.	09.28.2004 10.04.2004	A	Dan Kawa
1-1 Recap	Sucked In Pilot, Part I - Yes, there's been a plane crash. Yes, forty-eight people survived and have fetched up on the shore of an uncharted desert isle. Yes, Matthew Fox plays a brave and resourceful doctor who also has had some flying lessons. Yes, there's also a cowardly bassist, a reclusive Korean, a helpful lifeguard, a poor-spelling fat person, a pregnant skinny person, a protective father, and a bitchy bitch. And a dog. Yes, there are some extraneous casualties: a guy gets sucked into a jet engine, and the pilot of the plane gets killed by some kind of clanking, growling monster in the jungle. But no, thanks for asking, Dan Kwa hasn't ever watched Felicity or Alias, so he doesn't know what the hell you're talking about.	09.21.2004 09.27.2004	B	Dan Kawa
