It takes a lot to leave me stunned into something resembling silence. It took me forever to pull my many thoughts on this episode into a relatively coherent analysis. Even after a couple pages of working out my frustrations, I'm not sure that I've completely pinned down my dislike for this episode. I guess I'm still trying to figure out just what that was supposed to be.
Here's my review for Lost 3.9: "Stranger in a Strange Land":

Overall, this episode seemed to have a lack of focus. None of the attempted parallels seem to come together by the end, which makes the episode somewhat unsatisfying. It also doesn't help that the episode was promoted as something that it clearly wasn't. This will hopefully be a temporary setback for the season.
