Lost Rewatch: 3x04 Every Man For Himself
No bunnies were harmed in the making of this episode
So last season, Charlie’s jealously towards literally anyone who talked to Claire was treated as obviously wrong, but this season we’re supposed to like Charlie, so they don’t dwell on his very obvious antagonism toward Desmond for talking to Claire
Ben made a comment about his and Jack’s roles being reversed in episode 2, but clearly he doesn’t consider Jack’s resultant place to be able to break up his ranks, like he did himself with Jack and Locke
Speaking of, why did Ben choose Juliet to consistently talk to the person he’s planning to put his life in the hands of? He seems to be aware that she hates his guts
Sawyer calls a dying Colleen ‘our ticket outta here’, and to this day, I have no idea what he’s talking about. The plan he comes up with after this really has nothing to do with Colleen
So if Munson stole money from the government, why do all the prisoners want him dead?
Is kicking someone upside the head the only way this show can think to knock a character out?
When Sawyer comes to, Tom is telling Ben about them losing communication with the outside world. Why would you tell him that it the presence of one of the Losties?
Very obvious; the rabbit has an 8 on its back
Ben’s plan is incredibly psychotic, and at the same time incredibly smart
So why does Kate get new clothes, when Sawyer doesn’t?
Josh Holloway is consistently one of the best damn actors in this show. Case in point: the scene where Cassidy tells Sawyer that he’s got a daughter
So Colleen dies, and what happens next bewilders me. Pickett goes outside, beats the living hell out of Sawyer, and stops when Kate says that she loves him? Uh... what? Why?
As someone who had to study Of Mice And Men in English, I do not get why anyone would read that of their own free will
Munson asks Sawyer to move the money he stole, but Sawyer is in prison too? How is he supposed to move it?
Juliet says she’s not used to death. And everything else she tells Jack is true, but that sure isn’t - she’s lost nine patients!
Desmond’s little lightning rod is clever as hell. I certainly wouldn’t have thought of it
The ending of this episode is amazing, and works wonders to show how much of a threat Ben is. If they can con Sawyer of all people, what else can they do?
Overall Review:
This is where season three starts ramping up! We’re done with the obligatory set-up of the start of the season, and so now the plot can get kick-started. While the flashback is, for the most part, pointless, it does introduce Sawyer’s daughter Clementine, who does show up again, and is another thing that shows that flashback Sawyer isn’t all bad. And once again, Skate is pretty good when Jack isn’t around
Overall Rating: 6.7/10

The 50 Most Influential Books of All Time
You are what you read. This saying seems an undeniable truth when we picture the impact some books have created on the world. From cracking social boundaries to challenging centuries-old notions, books have played an inimitable role in different segments of human lives. So, which are the books that, along with being a good read, have influenced the way we think? Let’s have a look.
Science
These are the books that pioneered the fundamentals of science taught in schools today. These works left a great and probably a controversial impact on society at the time they were created.
On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin
The Interpretation of Dreams, Sigmund Freud
Physica, Aristotle
Elements, Euclid
The Meaning of Relativity, Albert Einstein
A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking
Silent Spring, Rachel Carson
The Naked Ape, Desmond Morris
Against Method, Paul Feyerabend
The Gene, Siddhartha Mukherjee
What Evolution is, Ernst Mayr
For years, these books are inspiring science enthusiasts to learn newer elements of the universe. That makes it intelligible how millions of students travel abroad to acquire education and stand on the shoulder of giants like Einstein.
Society
Intriguing fiction or rattling real-life stories, many texts have left an unraveling effect on peoples’ views. These books have captured some climactic moments of history and transformed social practices.
The Analects, Confucius
The Republic, Plato
Orientalism, Edward Said
The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank
The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvoir
The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Mary Wollstonecraft
The Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli
Native Son, Richard Wright
The Rights of Man, Thomas Paine
Philosophy
Nothing is absolute in philosophy. While pondering over never-ending questions and theories of the universe, dig into the minds of great philosophers of all time through these books.
The Nichomachean Ethics, Aristotle
On Liberty, John Stuart Mill
A Treatise of Human Nature, David Hume
The Discourses, Epictetus
Naming and Necessity, Saul Kripke
The Art of Happiness, Dalai Lama
Letters from a Stoic, Seneca
Beyond Good & Evil, Friedrich Nietzsche
Meditation of First Philosophy, René Descartes
Critique of Pure Reason, Immanuel Kant
Reasons and Persons, Derek Parfit
Being and Nothingness, Jean-Paul Sartre
Confessions, St. Augustine
Apology, Plato
Literature
With insightful lines and epic characters, these books in literature offer us undeniable elements to remember for a lifetime.
The Complete Works, William Shakespeare
1984, George Orwell
In Search of Lost Time, Marcel Proust
War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy
The Iliad and The Odyssey, Homer
The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer
Beloved, Toni Morrison
One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel García Márquez
The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien
The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde
In a Free State, V. S. Naipaul
I, Claudius, Robert Graves
To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee
Chronicles of Narnia, CS Lewis
All these books have stood the test of time while telling the stories that needed to be told. Authors’ backgrounds and personal experiences influenced many of these works. And did we mention many authors on the list were actually the celebrated alumni from Oxford University? So, if you are aspiring to change the world through words, Oxford maybe your ideal study abroad destination, where you can learn what influenced these writers to create such timeless compilations of human intellects.
