This episode was a bit slow..but cmon...I thought overall it was above average and had so me excellent moments:
1.) Locke's speech about being "LOST" - kinda freaky if you ask me and fits in perfectly with what we have seen before
2.) Jin's flashbacks had some great nuggets, his interview, and the fate "orange" thing. What it is interesting is the "orange" color was its discussion about fate - it might be fated, but a prophecies aren't exactly the way yoiu think they are. I bet that theory comes back into play later.
3.) Tense hunt moments - I thought they were great. Kinda reminded me of Predator a bit.

The episode was above-average. Michelle Rodriguez is pretty cute. I liked the walk through the forest and the guys finding each other and the tense moment with the others passing by. I thought the backstory was decent.

I like Jin and Sun's backstory. I hope it has a cool tie-in somewhere. So far, I think the most interesting backstory, other than Locke's, is Hurley just because of the numbers. Odd as I think Hurley is the least interesting character on the island because he is basically just a simpleton and there is nothing really interesting about his character (I think he owns the record for number of "dudes" ever said on TV). That said, it is correct to have someone like him on the island because there are a lot of Hurley's in the world. I just do not think he is interesting at all.

So 5 episodes, and we haven't seen/heard the security system yet? The tail survivors don't seem to be worried about that, more about the "others." Maybe the area of the island where the tail survivors are is full of "others" that are sick, and the area where our original mid-section survivors are is protected by the SS? So the SS is actually a good thing? Just a guess.

Or it could be to make "The Others" - a group of supposed crazies who may or may not have skewered that one dead guy - seem even crazier if one of their ilk was lugging a teddy bear on a leash.

ok, first off, Alex is a girl. we found that out last season.
second of all, i liked the episode, too. I'm really digging Mr. Echo, Eko, whatever. Michelle Rodriguez is getting on my nerves a little bit with her attitude, but it looks like she's softening up. Like when the blonde said, "his name is michael" and she responded. they obviously have severe trust issues. They must have had an infiltrator like ethan...
i really liked the flashback this episode. sure we didn't really learn a huge secret, but it was well-acted and just a good story overall. I liked the little twist with the girl in the orange dress. you keep looking for Sun to show up in Orange, but we get that scene. pretty good.

In general, there are people who come to these threads to discuss the current episode, and don't want to know ANYTHING about an upcoming episode. They specifically avoid the "next week" previews for this reason.

I agree, Michelle Rodriguez is annoying.
Did Jin ever gave that teddy bear to Sun? I can't remember if that bear was a gift alone with the puppy in last season's episode.

good point, michael corvin. unless it happened right away. i mean, do we even know exactly when ethan showed up? he could have been there since the crash, but we only saw him once locke befriended him.

What I am getting annoyed with, in terms of the writing, is the constant skirting around really specific, but simple, questions like asking the other survivors "why are you so on edge?" and "what happened to the rest of your group?" These things are brought up and promptly ignored without any real reason for ignoring a perfectly valid question. I would be pulling my hair out wanting to know what is wrong with these people if I were in the place of Jin, Michael or Sawyer, but they seem content to be ignored. I don't mind if information isn't given out immediately (I know that's pretty much the whole point of the show) but I at least like to have a rational reason as to why that easy question can't be answered right away.

Otherwise, I was one of the people that enjoyed this flashback. As for the rest of the episode, it was ok. Little slow. Not enough Kate for my taste.
Guess I can find something else to watch for 3 weeks.

Good point. I was watching about half of it while I was working out. Is that a pretty easy show to jump into, or would I be Lost (ha, there's the link to not make it off topic) if I haven't seen any other episode?
Sorry, didn't mean to go off topic.
So Kate did/does have feelings for Sawyer. I'm willing to bet that Anna Lucia and Sawyer will have feelings for each other or have hooked up by the time they get back to the other survivors.
