Sexual Harassment, Eating Disorders, and the Quest to De-Woman Myself

Lost S1E14: Special

I was scammed before with the promise of a Naveen Andrews episode, which ended up a total let-down and more focused on this whole “mythology” thing that I’m sure the show’s going to lose interest in soon enough, but this week, I have finally been gifted with a killer platform for a great actor that the show actually seems to want to do something with.
