Nathan Fillion on Lost

I haven't been a big Lost fan since the first season. It's still a good show and I'm not really bothered by the lack of answers, as long as they can keep it interesting and entertaining, I don't need to be able to figure out all the crazy mysteries. Generally I half-watch the show because the Sub-letter likes it and he can fill me in on the stuff I missed last year when it was on opposite Veronica Mars.

Last night's episode was an exception. I'd heard that Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Serenity, Two Guys and a Girl..., Slither, etc.) would appear in Kate's flashback. I do enjoy some Nathan Fillion (even as the evil priest on Buffy), so I made it a point to be home when 9 o'clock rolled around. Fillion was good. He was endearing as Kate's cop husband, but he didn't have a whole lot to do. Kate was still the conflicted con artist that makes me yawn. All in all, it was kind of a let down.

Not such a let down: Sawyer and Kate finally doing something about their mutual attraction (other than send one another mixed messages) and Jack hijacking Ben's surgery and holding the Others' leader hostage under the knife. I think my favorite thing is that the Others were so shocked, like they're the only ones allowed to play dirty.
