Oh man so tempted to read that spoiler about the 4 toed statue! that is one of the biggest "WTF!?!?!" moments from the show for me. Going to stick it out though.

As for Heroes vs Lost, I know a bunch of people that love both. I tried to get into Heroes after a few episodes but the acting was just too hokey for me to get into it. I did see the preview for this past weeks where it's in "a future they hope never happens" and I immediately thought of X-Men Days of Future Passed. Sure, it's a ripoff of that but it's a cool idea and hey lest we forget there's plenty of talk on Lost boards about Desmond and alternate timelines etc. I think Heroes owes more to Lost's early breakout success which helped it get the green light than it does to the actual format or style.

Trust me, that one won't spoil anything for you.

thanks Josh I see what you mean

Just tell me if Kate is going to take off her pants. That's all the spoiler I want to know.

Just finished here in Canada. Some interesting developments this week:

Unspoilered, "Good ep, bad ep" rating?

GREAT EPISODE!!!!

This is what Lost should be. Not dragged out, a backstory that provides insight on the character in question while also adding to the story going on in the present timeline.

Good episode.

ok -- random request. i forgot to set my dvr. it has been acting funky lately...and i missed the first 4 minutes...up until it does the LOST splash across the screen and fade out. can anyone fill me in up to then so i can watch the rest of the episode...i know it's not ideal...but i want to watch tonight!

This episode is proving the theory...

I thought that was pretty obvious, and kind of what I figured for a while now (back in season 1 when EVERYTHING was connected.) Show isn't as un-predictable as it once was, running out of tricks .

This feels like a season 1 ep again, I like that feeling.

Yep, predictable, but still, DAMN! They're actually letting people spill the beans this episode.

that scene reminded me of Return of the Jedi with Leia and Jabba the Hutt

Damn, intense scene. I wish I could get over the fact the 'real' Sawyer reminds me too much of Ron White.

Locke's dad is (was) a bad dude.

Fitting considering his constant references.

Solid episode.

I really hope a few more people die before the end of the season - namely Ben. Locke would be a nice subtraction, too.

And Jack.

Best episode in a long time. Theres just something about Locke walking around the island that reminds me of Season 1.

Anybody else think Jack has turned into an asshat?

Is Juliette a good 'guy' playing a mole?

I LOVE this show again. Every week since the show came back has been getting better and better. Now its to where I cant wait for next week. Love what they are doing with people not trusting Jack.

I loved seeing the old ship again too.

Jack has been an asshat for quite some time.

No -- I have thought he was an asshat since some time in season one.

Did anyone notice that Cooper just sounded a bit different?...maybe its nothing though.

Great episode. The Losties are finally starting to talk amongst themselves and rely information.

I guess

Next week's episode looks like the 'HOLY SHIT!' episode of the year. Can't wait. Start the countdown!
