Out of Gas, Lost

The beginning of the Firefly episode "Out of Gas" was a little confusing at first. It began with Mal stumbling through the cargo bay of Serenity holding onto a part and falling on his face while he bled. He made his way to the engine room, but the ship was quiet and empty. Kaylee wasn't with the engine and nobody was around. Then it flashed back to when Mal first purchased the ship and brought Zoe on board and her doubts. It should how Kaylee, Jayne, Wash, and Inara all got hired or brought on board. But it kept flashing back to Mal in "the present". But then it flashed over to when the engine failed and how the crew responded and it started to make sense...but how were they to get out of this situation. By the end it gave a lot of background as well as provided an excellent episode.

This week's Lost was okay. We saw a boar for the first time in a while. Wonder where the polar bears are. Not much to say about it. I'm liking Season 2 more than the first season, but I wonder if that is because I'm not sharing the show with my wife and we're watching together compared to watching it alone. Not sure. Either way, it's entertaining. Glad Sun found her wedding ring.
