I was a big procrastinator this week. At last here is last week LOST report. I usually don't like Sayid episodes but this one was good. This was probably the most revealing episode of the season so far. We now know that the "Others" or the "hostiles" are not part of the Darhma Initiative. We knew previously that the Darhma Initiative still exists because of the food drop. We know also that the "Others" have contact with the outside and a recruitment program. Which means there are at least two outside organizations with operations on this island. Which leads to the biggest question: what's so important about this island? I was also happy to have a second episode in a row without Jack. He's a dick.

Here's the dialog in Russian:

• Klugh: Mikhail. Mikhail! You know what to do.
• Mikhail: We still have another way [out].
• Klugh: We cannot risk. You know the conditions.
• Mikhail: There is another way.
• Klugh: They captured us. We will not let them to get into territory.
• Klugh: You know what to do. It is an order.
• Mikhail: We still have another way! Klugh (in English): Just do it, Mikhail.
• Mikhail: Forgive me. (shoots)

Here's what we learned:

• The Flame was a Darhma Initiative communication facility
• The "others" took over the Flame at some point in the past
• Sayid worked as a cook in Paris
• Not even Sawyer knows who Nikki is
• Hurley is better at ping pong than Sawyer

New Questions:

• Will Sawyer keep his word and stop using nicknames?If so, will he stop using his own nickname and go by James Ford?
• Was Kelvin the last of the Darhma Initiative?
• Why didn't Patchy disarm the station's explosive?
• How did Patchy escape the ropes?
• Was there a Purge, a battle between the Darhma and the Others?
• What happened to the livestock after the explosion?
• What was "another way" that Mikhail spoke of in Russian

Tonight is a Claire episode. The preview suggested a surprise connection between two of the survivors. If it's that Claire is Jack's sister, that's really not a surprise. Everyone assumed that after the Ana Lucia episode.
