LOST Revisited: Pre-Game for “Dr. Linus”

Where’s Sawyer?: We haven’t seen Sawyer in two episodes now. Considering that in the last three weeks we’ve had an episode entirely free of Jack and Kate, and another where Jack only makes a cameo without any lines, that isn’t entirely unprecedented. But he was with Look-a-Locke last time we saw him. And then Sawyer apparently got ditched, because he was not around when Smokey showed up at Claire’s fort, and he was nowhere to be seen when the Lockelganger wandered the jungle and assembled his forces. For that matter, Jin is missing in action too. Now, I assume they’re taking care of Pelt Baby. But beyond that, where are they?
