S6E13 RECAP

L: Lo! - - - the scene designed for the most bang was Widmore's rocket launch against Flocke. However, conventional weapons cannot harm Flocke. We know that, so we must assume Widmore knows that. In conjunction with the dumb Zoe meeting with Flocke in the jungle (the ultimatum was a message that Widmore was ready and not a threat), the rocket attack merely used to solidify Jack's allegiance with Flocke.

O: Obnoxious - - - many of the sideways scenes were so contrived to be unbelievable, even in a fictional drama series.

S: Story line - - - it seems that the story is stalling, like grinding gears in an old car trying to get it to move in first gear. We have seen several episodes now that some describe as "moving the pieces around" before the action begins; less reshuffling the deck and more action is needed.

T: Time line - - - sideways Desmond is acting like island time line Jacob in trying to get characters to cross over between time lines. How one independent time line reality can influence the other is still a nagging question.
