I know. Lost 2x06 was sad for all the wrong reasons. I never really liked Shannon and Sayid as a couple (even though I like them both individually). I was hoping this ep would be the one that rekindled my love for the show but it just confirmed for me that it just isn't up to scratch this year.

Firstly I hope the survivors had a stockpile of condoms because otherwise it is seriously irresponsible to risk an unwanted pregnancy even if the guy does have a Bedouin tent style seduction going on.

Secondly shame on you Lost for falling back on the "You have sex outside marriage something bad will happen" cliche.

Thirdly I am so annoyed that they gave us the reveal that actually Shannon wasn't the spoilt rich kid we thought she was and now I will never know how that horrible, twisted family dynamic played out. I will never see the gap between Shannon's flashback and Boone's filled in. And yet they have already given us several "Doctor Jack has daddy issues" and "see Kate she is on the run" eps.

The only good thing about the ep was that Claire finally realised that Charlie has just kind of plonked himself into her life without even consulting her.

Veronica Mars is easily my favourite show this season. The writing is smart and funny. The one off characters are given distinct identities so that you actually care about the outcome of the case of the week. I know that the bus crash isn't as devastating as Lilly's murder but I still think it is interesting. I'm not even missing the LoVe stuff. I still don't get the point of Duncan though he should be a really edgy character and yet he seems to be just the blandly handsome, nice guy boyfriend- strange.
