Lost, Series 5, Episode 8, 'LaFleur'

** WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS**

Perhaps the irony of it is Lost on the production team, but the battle to 'get back' seems to have taken a positive turn this week.
Focusing on the group that John Locke left behind when he yanked on the Tomb Raider wheel, Sawyer, Jin and the blonde-one-of-dubious-morality entertain us in what is the best episode in recent memory.
Flashing backwards and forwards between Locke's disappearance and the day of Jack and co.'s return three years later, we're treated to new insight into the Dharma Initiative and the reason why Jin showed up in a combi wearing DI overalls last week.
As Locke's character has retreated into confusion and helplessness and become less likable as result, Sawyer's sense of responsibilty and purpose has grown to the point where he's almost respectable as a human being. His relationship with blondie-whatsername made a cheerful counterpoint to some of the more sinister goings on but I suspect it'll be back to business as usual next week now that whining Jack and the rest of the Oceanic Six have returned.
