On The Run
31 July 2010 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This episode focuses on Kate Austen's past and how she knew the man with the shrapnel in his chest, who turns out to be a U.S. Marshal who was taking Kate to L.A. to go to jail or something like that. Anyway, Kate basically just runs around in the episode, the flashbacks are capable but don't do anything for me. The on-island action is good. This turns out to be a good episode but pretty weak compared to other season 1 episodes.

Standout Performance: Matthew Fox

Best Lines: U.S. Marshal moans in pain Shannon: I WISH HE WOULD JUST DIE ALREADY! Boone: Real humane, Shannon.

8/10
