On Lost this week, Walt's apparent psychic powers expanded a bit as he pulled a page from the Johnny Smith playbook and gleaned Locke's plans for opening "The Hatch" by touch. And given Walt's reaction, it would seem that the only thing waiting beyond "The Hatch" is untimely death. Maybe there's a whole family of polar bears hibernating inside.
Meanwhile, Arvin Clone returned to Alias after a few weeks away. (Although this time it was Elena Derevko's turn to vanish for a week. Alias just can't juggle multiple plot lines like it used to.) On the one hand, I was a little disappointed to see "reliving the past to gain useful information in the present" be the way to solve the crisis two weeks running. On the other hand, I did find it all an intriguing payoff to the Arvin Clone arc. It's a shame it had to end so soon, really. I think during the Golden Age of Alias a few years ago, this sort of thing could have carried on for quite some time.
And I don't know if any of you noticed, but Jennifer Garner actually directed that episode of Alias, and did a respectable enough job. As if she doesn't have enough to do on the show already.
