3x4 - "Every Man For Himself" - Flashbacks
1. Sawyer has a daughter? With Cassidy (from "The Long Con.") no less? Never exactly thought he was the fatherly type.
2. He can even pull cons from inside a prison. Sawyer managed to trick a big time thief into believing that the Warden wanted the money he stole. Sawyer even managed to get the Warden in on the con, and the biggest con of them all, HE DID IT FOR HIS COUNTRY! Never actually thought Sawyer would actually did something good with his life before he got on the Island.
3. Sawyer really does have a heart. He uses the money he got as his comission to set up a bank account in his daughter's name but he wants it set up so that she'll never learn where the money came from.
Thoughts: Sawyer clearly does care for other people but he can't bring himself to do anything good overtly for the people he cares about. Is it just me or are the writers spending less and less time with the flashbacks in each episode?

It makes some sense that they might shy away from doing such long flashbacks, except in the case of people like Sun and Jin, as we still don't know too much about them. I think it will get stale if they do it too often, that sort of thing is always a risk in this sort of media. I'm more concerned by the number of commercial breaks.

I agree about the commercial breaks but the I believe the episodes are as long as they were in previous years. As for the flashbacks, if they're worried about doing something particularly long or if they can't do anything meaningful, then they shouldn't bother doing it every week.
nah, i think we're getting the same amount of flashbacks, all together. it was refreshing that this week's ep was so present-oriented.
considering that the glass ballerina and further instructions were almost half flashbacks, i guess the writers gotta spend some time developing the present and flash forwards. gotta balance this stuff out, imho.
