YES YES YES YES YES YES YES! THAT's what a good ep is! Right there!

You know you guys are perfectly free to start ep discussion without me or someone saying it, just so you all know. As long as the scenes have been aired, it's fair game. I've just noticed that I always seem to be the first one here otherwise.

Anyway...OMGAWESOME. Sure, no questions were answered, so there wasn't some big shipper moment, sure they're worse off than when they started, but by GOD Lost is finally going somewhere. I loved the intensity of this ep, and even that backstory wasn't annoying.; Not only that, but the best four characters on the show were central (well, the best well-known ones, discounting Mr. Eko) of Locke, Sawyer, Jack, and Kate to give us some scenes where everyone finally cared.

That last line.... I just had to writhe in extacy at THAT one

I hope someone caught what the bearded man said "Alex". And I hope you all realize the importance of that name or I will be very disappointed in you

You know, there may be a big rivalry between the Jack and Locke sides, but they were both right today. Locke was right, it was a stupid thing to do going charging in after Micheal, and Jack was right that they had no choice, because Micheal wasn't going to come back if they didn't (you don't even need 20/20 heinsight to agree with that one.)

"Took off you shoes before going in to another's home" Anyone else notice that Locke DID indeed take off his shoes before going further in the hatch?

Oh and hey, ground rules on the complaining about the eps thing: you can say your opinion on the ep in here, but save any discussion on it for the complainers thread

lol. I've got a feeling I'm nopt the only one who gets more put off from the show by sifting through what's wrong with it, even though I do agree with you guys

If Lost has one of those, then I think this MAY be considered a "plot-moving episode"

bout time!

Are you guys ready for the biggest shock of the night? I agree with Hobbes. That was actually a good episode in my opinion with very few exceptions. Let me get my bullet-point typing finger ready.

- Jack's flashback. I'm finally glad to see why he and his wife broke up. I was glad that he was honest about the kiss because I think it would have been out of character if he wasn't. Other than that I can't comment because I was simply mesmerized by how fan-frickin'-tastic he looked in his shirts the entire time. Oh. My. God. End drool session.

- I liked the Locke, Jack, and Sawyer dynamic.

- I was stoked that we got to meet the others a little more in depth. I have two questions though. Did that bullet bounce of of him? And two, does this mean they also "have" Michael? I found it interesting that they bargained with them to get them to go back to camp when it would have been just as easy (no easier) to kill them all. Kate included. They did not have to show themselves. I do feel that this indicates that they are indeed vulnerable as Jack had speculated. (Though obviously not as small in number as he thought.)

- Jack/Sawyer/Kate triangle stuff. It was there. I didn't hate it.

- Sawyer was back. Finally! He has been half-hearted Sawyer this entire season until this episode. Loved the "favorite leaf" line.

- Jin & Sun. I really liked this bit.

- Hurley's got a crush on Libby. It is totally cute and I hope he gets the girl. I really REALLY like Libby. Too bad she wasn't in the ep!

Now for the complaints (hey! They fit here!):

- Jack - "Let's do this together." Michael - "No, and you know why? Cause I'm a dumbass!" (Enough said.)

- Charlie... shut up Charlie!

- Kate. If she wanted to go she should have said, "Screw you, Jack. I'm coming anyway! You are not the boss of me!" Instead of going behind their backs. It would have saved everyone a lot of trouble. I have a feeling that they were trying to illustrate that Jack understands that she's more of a liability than she thinks she is, which I think isn't a bad lesson to learn, but at the same time, it doesn't jive with her backstory. That's all I'm saying.

OMFG! Jack is about to start some apocalyptic sh*t on the island.

First thing that came to mind > It's gonna be like the potentials against the First. LMAO!
I SO can't wait to see where the writers are going to take this. I'm SO excited!

Oh and Great episode!

ISLAND REVIEW:

* Dude. Jin's hat? Awesome. Can he keep wearing that hat?
* I think I like Crazy!Michael. Please don't be "sick", Crazy!Michael. I think I like regular, no-nonsense Michael better, but Crazy!Michael's fun.
* Since when is "Jack, Locke, Sawyer, and oh yeah, Kate" = "everyone"? I think I'd be insulted.
* Boat!Dude? Creepy.
* ALEX!
* Why do the episode releases and summaries and spoilers keep making a big deal out of what ends up being one scene? "Jack is an interested observer when Kate gives Sawyer a haircut", "Hurley and Charlie commiserate over the age-old conundrum of "what women want."" Don't get me wrong, the Hurley Charlie scene was adorable and I'm thrilled that one of my crack!pairings now had a solid canon basis ("She's cute, in an I-got-terrorized-by-the-Others kinda way"), but it's annoying that they play it up as this big subplot and then...it's one scene.

BACKSTORY REVIEW:

* Sarah pregnant. Yup, saw that coming.
* Jack and Gabriella kissing. Yup, saw that coming.
* Jack failing to save another patient like he saved Sarah. Yup, saw that coming.
* Sarah leaving Jack. Yup, saw that coming. (Also, when she said "I'm leaving you," I cheered and said something like "You go, girl!")
* Sarah's seeing someone else. Nope, that one took me completely by surprise. (And my "You go, girl!" turned into "...Huh.")

Question. The power here cut out for about three minutes at the very end of the episode. What happened after Jack sat down to talk to Ana-Lucia? I gather he asked her about training an army.

EDITED because there's no "Jake" on this show.

Fantastic ep.

I think Jack is lactating, becuase in the scene where Kate apologized to him, it seems his... pecs... were wet.

LOL That Sarah being a teacher.

Umm... Warren, who's Alex??

Hooray for Hibby. Sorry Marcus, this is such a better ship than Hurlielle:lol:

You could just ban her until the episode airs in her area.
