My interest in Lost has been increasing since the season started up again. I was about to abandon it, partly due to the time change and partly due to a lack of interest, but the last several episodes have been very good. I thought they did a good job of showing how other survivors like Nikki and Paolo weren't just sitting around the island doing nothing, yet integrated the core group into story pretty well. Has there ever been a commercial airline flight with more criminals on it than Flight 815?

Now that that's established, can we please have a flashback episode which consists solely of Boone and Charlie getting friendly?

Yeah it did.
