Lost. Season 4. Episode 7: Ji Yeon

A castaway is dead. We learn the identity of another of the Oceanic Six. We learn who owns the boat. And we meet Ben's spy on the boat.

Has there ever been an episode that answered so many questions yet advanced the plot so little? Not that I'm complaining -- Ji Yeon continued the near-perfect season four. It was a masterful episode, and I doubt there was a dry eye among viewers at the end.

Lost. Season 4. Episode 6: The Other Woman

Juliet has been one of the more successful additions to the Lost cast. As a (former?) member of The Others, it’s been interesting watching her integrate into the group under Jack’s sponsorship, and so far her main function has been to inject fresh drama into the occasionally tired Jack-Kate-Sawyer love triangle.

Fittingly, then, that her episode is entitled “The Other Woman” – a title that highlights Juliet’s function in the group dynamic. The tension on screen every time Jack, the island’s most unlikely pimp, pays Juliet more attention than he pays Kate is brilliantly palpable, and makes Sawyer’s harsh words to Kate about her tendancy to bed-hop ring particularly true.
