Lost Recap - AnaL Plugged

It's been a while since I've done one of these, but that's because Lost tends to give America new episodes fairly unoften. But, since we all love it and worship the ground Lost walks on, we don't care. We're just happy to see a new episode.

What happened last night on Lost? Well, it starts right where it left off almost a month ago. Jack and Kate are at "the line" they're not supposed to cross, and out of the jungle, Mike staggers out, and passes out. They carry him back to camp, where Ana Lucia (AnaL) just had an tussle with Henry. Henry almost killed her, but Locke interceded, and knocked him out with his crutch. Meanwhile, on the beach, Hurley is trying to set up a romantic rendez-vous with Libby.

After tussling with the "Other" Henry, AnaL decides to get herself a gun from Sawyer, who isn't very keen on the idea, until AnaL attacks him, and then decides to have sex with him.

Meanwhile, over at the hatch, Mike wakes up, and tells Jack about the camp he discovered while looking for his kidnapped son, Walt. He tells them that they're worse off than the plane crash survivors, living in tents and walking around barefoot. He tells them about a hatch, that is guarded by only two men with two guns. He tells Jack that he will lead them there, to save his kids, and the kids from the tail section of the plane that were taken as well.

While Jack is trying to get the rest of the guns from Sawyer, AnaL and Mike have a conversation about the Other they're holding in the vault. She tells him that she can't bring herself to kill Henry, and Mike volunteers to do it. It seems that he wants revenge on him, and AnaL hands him the pistol. Mike gets up, tells AnaL he's sorry, and then shoots her twice in the chest. She dies, and while Mike is trying to compose himself, Libby comes in and startles him, and he shoots her as well. Then, he walks over to the vault, opens it up, and shoots himself in the arm. WTF!

The backstory on this episode was AnaL centric. It was fairly uninteresting, except for the fact that AnaL and Jack's estranged dad pal'ed around Sydney before he died. It looked like Jack's dad had an illegitimate son/daughter with an Australian woman. Nothing elaborated on that, but I don't see how that is relevant to the present island-based storyline.

So, two cast members die . . . and interestingly enough, it was the two cast members who recently had a little trouble with the law. Maybe Disney-owned ABC decided that they didn't want to employ outlaws, and went through with the off'ing of the two ladies. I know that Michelle Rodriguez will actually be doing time in a prison, rather than spend most of the year trying to work off 240 community service hours. Oh well, we were not fond of the AnaL character, but Libby's blossoming love affair with Hurley might have been interesting . . . seeing as they spent time in the same mental institution.
