a LOT of shows take December off -- the November ratings are over and there are holiday special programming interruptions and lower audiences overall (holiday parties)

Anyone considering waiting on the rest of the season to play out on LOST should switch over to Veronica Mars. I promise it moves at a most satisfactory pace.
With that said, I will not again reference the competition. I don't want this turning ugly.
I think I was supposed to feel sorry about what happened, but I don't. I don't think it was possible to move this character over to sympathetic with one little set of flashbacks given what we already knew.
I'm satisfied by the pace of the show. What I care about is movement, not necessarily the pace of that movement. I still firmly believe that there wasn't movement in the last episode of last season and will not be happy if they pull a stunt like that again. Until then, this makes for nice 10 PM ET viewing in my household on Wednesday nights.

She sealed her own fate (or maybe it was Syid). People on these types of shows should never confess their love for someone else. It is a guarantee that someone will die.

Good episode. Almost makes up for not being around the last couple of weeks.Wonder if Sayid now understands some of what Shannon felt towards Locke. Maybe he will take his gun to Ana-Lucia.
Wonder what did happen to the missing tailie.
Looking forward to next week, appears to be a strong flashback, much better than what we've seen so far this season.

Wow, Sayid must be a little upset.
As for the flashbacks, it was nice to see Boone again.
And didn't Walt do his backward talking trick twice? Or were both times the same thing? (they're coming and they're close)
I'm looking forward to next week's episode.

Wow!
Now that was a great episode. Best since the season premiere by a long shot.
They really don't need to answer things every week. Just keep the tension up and the show exciting. Even without the ending this was a great episode.
