And some things that should not have been forgotten were pretty much totally forgotten, at least by me.

(Uh, whats the Dharma Initiative again?

And for three long months,Lostpassed out of all knowledge.

Its back tonight (Feb. 7).

And its time for some brush-up.

Whats everyone up to?

Which setLostendom all aGoogle, Im sure.

Also party to this is…

SAYID…who remains… sad.

Whose name anagrams to Y I sad?

Whose character I am writing off until he comes back from Sadmore Springs, Sadlandia.

Which is a long way from… Their captor is…

BEN… a.k.a.

Henry Gale, once a prisoner of the Losties, now their chief tormentor.

For reasons that are still far from clear, Ben is babysitting this love triangle.

But will Jack save him?

She wants Jack to let Ben die on the table.

Or she wants Jack tothinkshe wants Jack to let Ben die on the table.

Or she wants him towantto think that… well, you get the idea.

He agrees to perform the surgery.

Jack can fix it… but he wont, unless the Others comply.

Jack tells Kate to run, says she has an hour head-start.

Theyre on an island, so its unclear how far she could run.

But run she must, says Jack.

So where does this leave…

SAWYER?Dunno.

He had a gun on him.

And Jack distinctly said, Kate, dammit, run!

Not Kate and Sawyer, dammit, run!

The subtext being, Sawyer, dammit, die!

SUN AND JINStill together!

But she slept with a bald dude back in Korea bad Sun!

ALEXDanielles daughter, remember her?

Regularly foils the Others unbeatable jungle defenses with her slingshot?

But apparently still at large she has access to a PA. Never give the kids access to the PA!

Next Jonestown these people set up, thatll be Rule No.

NIKKI AND PAOLOI refuse to accept these characters.

I still think of them as random TV viewers who won a sweepstakes.

Awaiting a new story arc.

CHARLIE AND CLAIREPlaying house with Baby Aaron.

So there we go.

Seriously, though, buddy?

Im glad youre back.

I hope we can recapture what we had.

It was a good run.
