I'm a first time Lost watcher, and I caught this little lump of coal last night (right before Constant, which was A-MAZING).
I have to say I really don't care for Kate, so I may be biased, but her looking to Miles for an answer about what the people on the boat know was stupid; of course everyone on the boat knows everything about the 815 survivors, that part wasn't surprising. Her flash forwards were just as awful; yes she's a celebrity and there's a chance she would get off, but the mom trying to trade seeing her grandson for no longer being a witness then needing to go to the hospital the night before the trial? Stupid. Getting a deal for time-served and 10 years probation after a laundry list of charges? Stupid.
Almost as much as I hate Kate, I hate the love story between her and Jack. I know he needs to fix things, but it appears to me that it's a fascination rather than anything genuine; him and Juliet are more believable, and I would rather see that. Also, her messing around with Sawyer is stupid too, and has turned Sawyer from an interesting character into nothing more than a plot device for Kate stories.
The whole deal with Miles wanting money for Ben is stupid, and maybe there's a revelation for the $3.2 million, but I don't really care; I thought Miles was going to be as interesting as Faraday, but I've been disappointed so far. Also, don't get me started on Locke- his obsession with the island and lack of a plan has become annoying, and kicking people out of his group the second they try and speak to him is... stupid.
So far in season 4 the only survivors I care about are the ones on the beach, and I'm glad that "Constant" followed this episode; it was like night and day.
3/10
