What I Liked:
- Jin’s alive! I knew he was alive (because Lost is really crappy about keeping people’s names out of the opening credits) but the second I saw someone floating in the water I knew it was him.
- Danielle’s expedition! Aside from the four-toed Simpsons’ statue, this was the one period I was really hoping we’d flash back to since Danielle was unceremoniously killed last season. Hopefully this is one of the flashes that last an entire episode like “Jughead”
- Josh Holloway has really come a long way as an actor. His scene watching Aaron’s birth and trying to explain it to Juliet were great.
What I Didn’t Like:
- Until the Jin/Danielle reveal, I was about to call this the closest thing we’ve had to a filler episode
- I don’t know what it is but any episode where Kate is the emotional center of the episode are always inferior to the rest. It’s not that Evangeline Lilly is a bad actress or anything, I’ve never just really cared about Kate.
- The properties of time travel are getting more confusing.
- The Oceanic Six storyline is essentially dragging it’s feet until they start making their eventual trip back to the island
- Jack is WAY too trusting of Ben
Lines of the Night:
- “At the time, I thought it meant something.” “Did it?” “No. It was just a light.” – Locke & Sawyer about the light Locke saw out of the hatch the night Boone died
- “Are you sure you’ve never been to the island before?” – Daniel to Miles after Miles says he got a nosebleed too
- “Don’t you want her to come back?” – Locke to Sawyer about his need to get the Oceanic Six back to the island
- “Other-others?”- Sawyer about the canoes and the Aijira Airlines water bottles
- “THANK YOU, LORD!” “I TAKE IT BACK!” – Sawyer, regarding the life-saving time flash into a rain storm
