Ana-Lucia: Still a Bitch
Bernard: Cuter than ever.
Mr. Eko: Do you mean Mr. AWESOME?

Sorry that's the best I can do. I suck at recap.

SPOILERS FOR EPISODE FOLLOW! Don't read any further if you don't wanna be spoiled

I for one thought that was a superb episode! This is probably the last time I'll ever say this, but it was almost too fast an episode LOL

I think I forgive AL now. I don't hate her. I don't love her mind you, but I don't hate her... which kinda sucks, since all tshe's gonna fall as is a mediocre character

I want to love or hate her dammit!

Too many mysteries opened and hinted at in this, just too much to take in

"the Good ones" - does this mean Claire was the only good one on the island? Please God don't tell me this means it's purgatory... Maybe Dharma's looking to start that utopian society from the video? The Others seem to think they're doing the right thing by taking people anyways.

Also: proof that Ethan WOULD have talked if our goddamn little druggie didn't shoot him to death

And perhaps the others aren't evil after all.

I suppose based on the evidence, Nathan wasn't actually an Other (lol "Nathan") but damn if that rabbit trapping and running from the jungle thing didn't make me suspicious of the guy. (anyone else jump at the rabbit trapping?

anyone else that geeky to remember that from the ol' days?

)

Everything adds up nicely as to why those events happened, except for Mr. Echo's sudden and violent beatdown on Micheal and Sawyer when Jin ran out. I guess it was something that had to be done, but it really didn't seem to fit him after all that peaceful silence.

One thing should probably be clear to everyone: whatever they do with the people they take, they don't kill them. Why would they go to all that trouble just to kill them? I highlly doubt it at least.

Lets look at the "others", shall we? Male and female. Clothed in brown robes when "stalking", have access to at least some 20-year-old U.S. Army trinkets, may be related to Dharma Industries, and might carry the belongings of their conquests as trophies (teddy bear). At least two have infiltrated the camps (around the same times too...). And best of all, they can be killed.... seemingly easilly from this episode (tsk tsk Jack... can't even beat up ol' Ethan...). My analysis: Secret Dharma Initiative U.S. Army Operation

The Dharma logo's an arrow! Boo ya Sledgeweb!

That opening shot was AWESOME. Great vid footage too. I got that nostalgic feeling of the pilot...

Sigh.... Mr. Echo needs his own "Walkabout"-esque episode to really bring back Season 1 though.

okay done, can't think of more. Must watch again!

I also like it how Micheal said "what was that?!". That makes me forgive A L more than anything else... unless they're BOTH idiots... could be

Still, if I were her I'd TOTALLY hold onto that one bullet (didn't she say in a previous episode it had only one bullet?!?!?! The previews don't seem to think so...) if the others were coming. It's her one only protection! Why waste it on a shape flashing by in the distance?

Best part of episode: "Nathan wasn't a good person."

I still hate Ana. What, her crying in the jungle is supposed to make me feel bad for hating her? Please.

Looking forward to next week even though I don't even know who it's about.

I'm glad Warren got this up because I've been so busy with school lately that I didn't have time to get this up.

I really loved this episode. People can say all they want about Anna-Lucia but I see a good person under that tough exterior. She put the lives of everyone else above hers. When the kids were kidnapped she put there wellbeing over her own. When she thought they had been infiltrated then figured out who it really was she put herself on the line to get him away from camp to deal with him. Everything she's done has been to protect the people in her care. I really respect her as a character and I think we'll see a lot of layers to her as we learn more about her.

I can't wait to have the entire cast together in one place because I think that's when things are really going to get good. Anna-Lucia is a great character imho and I really can't wait to learn more about her. She just joined Kate and Jack as my three favorite characters with the most depth.

That different Dharma logo just served to confirm my theory that every seperate outpost had it's own seperate Dharma logo kind of to seperate them from each other. I guess kind of like each places own mascot/theme.

I love how they introduced Bernard and you can see his real pain in thinking he'd lost Rose. I can't wait to see those two finally reunited.

I liked how we got to see that the flight attendant survived the crash. Hopefully we'll get an explination as to if the Others got her or not. I think it would be great to have her survive to meet up with the other survivors because I think it would be great to have just one crew member from the flight around.

Libby has a lot of potential as a character as well so I think we'll get some fun and interesting stories from her too. Mr. Eko is definitely a bit of a odd character but I like him. I loved how he comforted A-L in the jungle.

People can say what they want about these other survivors and what they want about A-L but I'll be damned if that wasn't the most intriguing episode yet this season. And that's saying a lot because there have been some great episodes so far. I love the way they decided to edit together the ending and bring it back to the place the last episode ended. That was a genious move.

A top notch episode but then again what would you expect from a Damon and Carlton written episode.

Didn't anyone else just want to beat the living crap out of Ana when she is like, "There aren't any other survivors" to Bernard and he was all dejected and she was all "SO THERE!" How much she deserves my wrath for that!
