Another funny nit about the episode. So Jack and Kate are raising a 2-3 year old kid... yet the kid is only seen a couple of times and they're having naughty sex around the clock? Yeah, right. What do they do, feed him horse tranquilizers so they can sneak off to bonk?

Two year olds sleep all night and nap during the day. Jack and Kate also have a nanny. I don't see the problem.
 
Can we please not talk about next week's promo in here, at least uncoded? Some of us deliberately didn't watch it.

^ that dead guy was Ben's dad Roger Linus.

All the good cowboys have daddy issues.

I'm pretty sure that was Horace in the preview, half of the couple that happened across Ben's birth, gave Ben's dad a job on the island, and died in the purge...

You know, Kate was pretty hot when she wrapped her legs arounf Jack. I can imagine Evangeline Lilly's parents having another fit.

:lol:

...

Parents don't like to think of their little girl as being a woman, and thought about as a sex object. That being said they need to realize she is a woman and needs to lead her own life.
 
Really? Sure looked like him.

I'll have to watch that again.

Sure, when they show next season's promo, I'll code it for ya. :)
 
I give this episode an average, which is pretty standard for a Jack episode as they're all pretty average. I liked the Hurley scene and the ongoing Christian Shepherd mystery, but can the writers just destroy the love triangle storyline already? Now it's even present in the flash forwards!

Lilly has said that she gets a call from her parents if they so much as see her kiss a guy in an episode, so something like this would probably send them through the roof.
 
Easily worst episode of the season. I gave it a poor because NOTHING HAPPENED and i would like my hour back.
 
I just remembered something else I didn't like about this episode and I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it:

How the hell did Keamy and his men survive Cerberus' smackdown? :wtf:
 
Well, I think some died, others survived or were wounded.

I vote somewhere between average and above average. I like how things are returning to how they were before after the island (Jack is acting like he did with his ex-wife only to Kate). They built a lot of suspense that I feel will be resolved soon, although they definitely teased us by not having Christian speak (it definitely gives the hint that Jack can't raise Aaron, though). Also, Jack's line towards the end shows that Jack knows by then that he's related to Claire.

Jack's storyline felt like filler, but I think it was just to show parallelism to the off-island stuff (LOST has done this throughout so I'm not going to start complaining about it now). I wish the sickness he had was a bit more serious (since I still wonder about Rouseau's illness), although Rose's question raises an interesting point.
 
Average but I'm not quite as down on it as everyone else is. I thought the smoke detector going off when Christian appeared was a rather major clue that Cereberus can go off island (which, is kind of scary. Forget the Cloverfield monster destryoing NYC, I'd love to see smokey do it!).

Random thoughts:

Kate was as irritating as ever but that's hardly a surprise.

The restraining order part was very funny.

I like that Lapidus is a good guy. I genuinely like the fellow.

Y'know, it's really odd that there was this big ado about Michael's return but he's barely been in the show.

I missed Locke, of course.

I thought the Juliet and Kate scene showed how much better of a person Juliet is. Plus, I don't see a love triangle there because I have this feeling that, if she so desired, Juliet could kill Kate with a snap of a finger.

Good to see plenty of Bernard and Rose. Rose made a good point about someone getting sick on island. I wonder if they'll return to that.

Seeing Christian with Aaron was an awesome scene.

All in all it wasn't bad but I think it could've been much better considering the shortened season. Wasn't as boring as "Eggtown" or "Ji Yeon," though.
 
I gave it an "average." It was full of stuff to set up some really exciting stuff---in later episodes. I didn't mind it, but I am a little tired of Jack. The other characters are WAY more interesting.
 
Damn you'd think the writers wouldn't want to waste an entire episode with a shortened season. But then again...
 
1) Kate has a nice butt.

2) So Smokey was only able to kill, what, two of the mercs?

3) I was hoping Kate would say she was working for Ben.

4) For a character that was dead before the opening shot of episode one, Christian sure gets a whole lot more to do than some of the regulars.
 
A bit OT, but I had switched Grey's Anatomy on about 10 minutes before Lost came on and was surfing here at the bbs and kept hearing someone say 'Dr. Shepard', so I kept thinking I was missing Lost, it was driving me crazy. :lol:
 
A definite step down from last week's excellent outing but I think it did enough right and it did enough to hold my attention that it is an Above Average.

This episode was a bit of a patchwork with it trying to do a bit of everything--advancing the plot, throwing in a few surprises(Christian showing up for Claire, Miles finding Danielle confirming her death), answering a question or two(Miles IS a medium, apparently the other survivors chose to stay on the island but why?) and a few character moments.

I enjoyed Rose telling "Red" she best not be talking to Bernard with that kind of attitude or she'd break out a can of whupass.:lol: I liked Juliet taking charge in Jack's absence. Glad Sun raised the question of trusting Daniel and then Juliet matter-of-factly telling Jin to shoot them in the knees if they pull anything.

It seems the "island" is what triggered the downward spiral of the Oceanic Six by appearing to Jack and Hurley in the form of Christian and Charlie. I wonder if Miles will communicate with the doctor from the Kahana whose body washed up last week to find out what really happened to him.

I wasn't too crazy with the Jack/Kate romance. I think Juliet and he have more chemistry. I didn't mind Jack getting sick but I thought it would play into the other events as a complication. I was surprised the island didn't kill those mercenaries last week. Did they have a way to stave it off?

Wonder why Miles wanted to hold Aaron?
What kept Jack from initially wanting to see Aaron?
Did Jack do something to trigger his illness as Rose ponders?
Wonder what Jack did to save Kate?
 
The whole "will of the island" is rather hokey and has lots of holes to it. So Carl deserved to die but Michael can't even kill himself?
 
Average. It was okay I guess. I'm not really a big Jack fan. Still an average episode of Lost is still miles better the most of television.

Good:
Very happy they remembered the whole "Aaron must be raised by Claire" storyline from season 1.
The scene between Jack and Hurley was well acted.
Christen was really spooky.
Kate looked hot pantless in most of the episode.


Bad:
This entire episode felt like set up. I'm okay with setup as long as it's well written like "Greatest Hits", this episode really wasn't that interesting.
The episode completely ignored the more interesting Ben and also the Losties on the boat storylines.
Too much silly romance.
