MichaelR's TV Reviews

Lost is, by and large, still the most compelling and original thing on television. I personally don't understand why many people are frusterated that no questions are being answered!

Q) Why are there polar bears on the island? Why does Kate see a horse? Why was the shark's fin tagged "Dharma?"
A) Recall that the Others were using some sort of zoo research facility to hold Jack, Kate, and Sawyer. It seems clear that these animals were being held in order to further reproductive research. Jack ended up in a fish tank and both Kate and Sawyer ended up in bear cages.

Q) Why was Claire kidnapped and injected?
A) The latest episode explained that the Others are involved in reproductive research and that Claire's injections, whether a placebo or actual medicine decide to aid her in keeping the baby healthy, are a result of this research.

Q) How do the Others know all about the survivors?
A) Again, the latest episode reveals that the Others have access to a computer system which allows them to almost instantly find information on anyone or anything. It would seem that the Others had no knowledge of the people on the plane ahead of time. Either that or Ben is an incredible actor (which we know to be true).

I look forward to each and every episode and the small pieces of the puzzle that each gives us. If for some reason the writers decided that they were going to solve each mystery for us next week I'd be bored.
