What I Liked:
- Ms. Hawking is back!
- So is Vincent!
- How can I not like an episode that focuses on Hurley? I imagine there won’t be many episodes where we’ll be able to spend time primarily on one character’s struggle with the situation but if we are going to have them, I’m glad they chose Hurley.
- We are finally going to learn more about the island’s history through all this time jumping?
What I Didn’t Like:
- This was definitely the least eventful of the two episodes
- Too much was made of the weight of the lie they all told.
- As much as I like Michelle Rodriguez, it was kinda silly to bring her back for that one scene. Was she on vacation?
Lines of the Night:
- “Libby says ‘Hi.’” – Ana Lucia to Hurley
- “He’s dead, isn’t he?” “I’ll see you in six hours, Jack.” – Jack and Ben regarding Locke’s body
- “Welcome back, Dr. Wizard.” “I believe it’s Mr. Wizard.” Sawyer nickname for Daniel and Miles correcting him
- “Look, everything’s going to make sense. I promise.” “It better!” – Hurley & Hurley’s mom (and everyone who’s been watching the show for the last five years)

What I Liked
- As pointed out by Slate, everything you need to know about the current season of Lost is shown in the opening minutes of the season premiere. That said, I think this has to be my favorite opening sequence in terms of mindfrak.
- It’s clear that Daniel Faraday and Desmond are going to have huge roles this season in terms of the sci-fi aspect of this season and that’s awesome because they are two of my three favorite characters (Ben Linus being the third)
- The flashback/flashforwards are over. I’m glad because both storytelling devices had run their course.
- The show has finally tipped heavily towards the sci-fi end of the balancing act it has with it’s character study aspect of the show
- We’ve hit the ground running.
What I Didn’t Like
- I loved everything about this episode although the island stuff is infinitely more interesting than the “Let’s Get The Band Back Together” off the island stuff.
Lines of the Night:
- Sawyer nicknames: Ginger (Charlotte), Danny Boy (Daniel), Frogurt (Neil)
- “Well, what goes around comes around.” – Alpert, regarding Locke getting shot by Ethan
- “Maybe if you ate more comfort food, you wouldn’t have to go around shooting people.” – Hurley after Sayid refused a french fry
- “It’s a compass.” “What’s it do?” “It points north, John.” – Alpert & Locke regarding the compass pictured up top.
