Critical Myth Review: Lost 4.6: "The Other Woman"
This was the kind of episode that I really wanted to like, and kept waiting to like, and just left me frustrated. As I said to someone else, it felt like the writers came up with an idea and tried to find a way to shoehorn it into the canon. To be fair, some aspects of that idea fit within the existing background, but other elements took me a while to reconcile. I'm still not sure it all feels right, and it's been a long time since I've felt that way after an episode of "Lost".
Lost 4.6: "The Other Woman"
Overall, this episode appears to be a mass of contradictions, and while it is possible to reconcile the apparent changes in characterization, it's also possible that this is an unfortunate and damaging writing choice. Considering how strong the season has been thus far, this potential misstep is all the more glaring and all the more concerning.
