I love the episode structure of LOST because so often it’s a very serious storyline paired with a very unserious storyline. It’s always something like
“John’s dad steals his kidney and leaves him for dead. Back on the island, Sawyer gets a new pair of glasses.”
“Sayid is held captive and brutally tortured while Hurley golfs.”
“Charlie deals with horrific PTSD after being kidnapped, hanged and revived. Meanwhile, Jack, Kate, and Sawyer, toss a bag back and forth.”
“Boone is tied up, drugged, and left for dead in the dangerous jungle while Hurley battles a tummy ache.”
“Sawyer looks for the boar who peed on his shirt while Charlie comes to terms with taking a man’s life.”
“Hurley deals with the very real possibility he might be losing his sanity and spiraling into a deep depression while Locke makes Claire a birthday present.”
