Lost – The Hunting Party

I am not going to summarize the show but you can find a great summary here:

Here are some of my thoughts:

• Jack is workaholic to the point that he ruined his marriage. Who is his wife seeing?
• Romantic tension arises between Jack and Gabriela. Jack’s father walks into the room where they are and Gabriela leaves. Jack’s father senses the tension and advises that he is crossing the line. Jack tries to zing his father by countering, “I guess you would know”. At this point his father says something really interesting. "It may be okay for some people, Jack. But not for you." His father sees that unlike himself his son has character. That is the type of reputation I should be striving for in my own life.
• Sawyer (i.e. James Ford) zingers of the week:
  When Jack ask Sawyer if he recognizes the land where they were searching, Sawyer responds “Oh ye, there is my favorite leaf!”
  Later Sawyer calls Jack “Mr. Clean”.
• I love a show with character development and Jen is one my favorite on the show. He has been evolving from a totalitarian, jealous husband to someone who is a dedicated, compassionate friend and husband.
• Also note that we find out that they have been married for 4 years so this could give a good time marker for future episode, flashbacks.
• Where was my favorite character this week, Mr. Eko?
