I just SAW IT! WOO!
I'm only going to evaluate on one thing right now.
Spoiler:
When Ben was all like (in flashback) "Why? After all I've done for you, you ask me why?..." and I thought, "Aw, this can turn out to be really sweet." Then Ben's like "YOU'RE MINE!" That heavily increased Ben's creepy scale. Heavily. He could've said, "Because I loved you!" but no, he had to go down the creepy stalker route...
Another great episode! (More later.)

OMG. I loved this episode! (gonna squee about it in the spoiler tag....)
Spoiler:
OMG OMG! Bennet is canon! *runs around in circles, squeeing* I thought I was the only person on the planet who ships Ben/Juliet, but apparently the writers do too?? And how creepy was that, though? "YOU'RE MINE!!"
The Jacketness at the end was cute! The hug was really sweet. I really do prefer it to Jate. There was some pwnsome footage in that episode for the Jacket/Jate vid I'm planning. ^_^
When Juliet was pointing her gun at Dan, I was all, "NO! DAN! Juliet, don't kill him! I'd have to hate you!" I was seriously scared he was going to die. And Charlotte was all worried about him too. ^_^
I totally called it about Charles Widmore being the man they were working for. And the man on the boat....pssh, it's Michael. After the promo for next week's eppy (which looks GREAT) I'm almost positive.
I'll squee some more tomorrow once it's totally sunk in. _________________ art by me&tammy

This episode was awesome! Almost as good as last weeks!
Spoiler:
Ben had the potential to be really sweet in this episode. "Don't you know why I'm keeping you here? Don't you know why I'm doing so much for you?" And then he ruined it... "YOU'RE MINE!!" It was cute, though, when he was all excited about their "dinner party", lol.
And Claire was in this episode... I wonder if she'll ever get to talk to Miles. I hope so. The girl needs some screen time!
And Charlie was mentioned again, by Locke, of all people, but at least he's not forgotten.
Ooh, and the whole gas thing. That was really interesting. I was so worried Dan was going to blow up the island, but it turns out he was doing the good thing. I still don't like Charlotte, though.
Overall, excellent episode! _________________ icon by becca

Good episode. It wasnt OMG jaw dropping amazing but it let the story flow and we got some answers along the way...
Spoiler:
really i think EVERYONE knows Michael is the guy on the boat
Ben seemed really swishey during that dinner scene lol. I actually thought he was gay in season 2 and they were going to play that when they found the real henry gale. I did think the flashback quadrangle was kind of corney. I am really starting to think ABC is pushing this romance stuff on the writers because of you look at ABC, he majority of their shows are chick shows. (Grays anatomy, desperate housewives, brothers and sisters, dancing with the stars, exct.) I do think Ben was ULTRA creepy with the "YOUR MINE" and wish we had this episode before the melodrama contest!
But overall pretty good ep.

Yay! Jacket Kiss! But my husband started talking right after it and I didn't hear what Jack said to Juliet! Ugh its really bugging me now...please someone tell me what he said!
So I liked this episode although I was hoping it was going to be a FF and not a FB...They tricked me in the beginning when they were talking about Juliet feeling like a celebrity. Oh well....I guess Juliet isn't getting off??
I loved the Jate reunion. I got all chilly. He was really concerned....awww...and Juliet was just like...whatever and ran off! Haha...
It was interesting to see confirmation that Ben loves Juliet.It was always kind of implied but now we know "That she's his" but for some reason both me and my husband laughed during that scene when he told her that..It was some how funny.
So overall...good episode but kind of anticlimactic...I was expecting more...oh well...the ending was really funny!

Great episode. Our power went out 20 minutes before it started, and we thought we were going to miss it all when about 10 minutes later everything returned back to normal. We screamed for joy. I'm glad I didn't have to miss this one.
LOL, loved the "You're MINE!!" scene. That just put an image in my head of Ben romping around the island like a little boy, with Juliet on a leash as his pet. It also kind of reminds me of The Princess Bride, somehow.
Michael's acting was just stellar in that scene. I was waiting for him to do something real meaty, and there it was. I'm gonna have to watch that again.
As for bad acting.... I swear to God, if Matthew makes one more drop-head, turn-to-the-right-and-then-look-back with some cheesy look on his face, or turns around in a circle dropping his head because he's so pissed, I would slap him. It's so goddamn irritating. Is that all he can do in any scene like that? I know I'm going to get people upset by going against the grain, but I just don't think he's a very good actor sometimes.

What, "of all people"? They may have had a bit of falling out, but Locke has always cared about Charlie very much, otherwise he wouldn't have helped him get off the heroine in season 1. He and Charlie had a connection. There was also a deleted scene from Further Instructions where Locke apologized to him. Don't act like Locke's a cold monster who doesn't have feelings for anybody.
The ending was pretty creepy. Ben must have told Locke basically everything he wanted to know about the Freighties, to get off like that and sleep in his own house. I'm pretty sure nobody will be surprised about the next episode's cliffhanger. Except those who are living under a rock and haven't read any spoilers. _________________

I didn't say he had no feelings for anyone. But we'll have to agree to disagree about Locke and Charlie. I hated him for what he did to Charlie, but I wish they had made up. I'd like to see that deleted scene, is it on the DVD? And obviously they were great friends in season 1, I'll agree to that. But then in season 2 Locke changed a lot, and in my opinion, he's not the same person he used to be.
And Locke just isn't the first person I'd personally expect to be talking about Charlie. _________________ icon by becca
