Previously on Lost: "Dr. Linus"

I was expecting a lot from an episode titled "Dr. Linus," who is undoubtedly one of my favorite TV characters. I wasn't completely let down, but the episode felt more like the slow-paced "What Kate Does" than the action-packed "Sundown." Tuesday night's episode featured little action on the island, and a whole lot of Ben Linus-centric scenes in both the sideways world and the island one. The result: an emotionally charged hour that revealed some conversations about tidbits of information we've all been longing for.
