Well, first off, I don't think it quite lived up to the hype. That trailer they ran after last week's episode, appeared to be epic, but this episode was just good— not life-changing.
Some Things:
CTU Called…
They want agent Michelle Dessler back. That was cool, I always like when Lost suprises you with a familiar face. I liked her on 24 and was sad when *spoiler alert* they totally offed her in the beginning of season 5. That was dumb. Well, the creative geniuses at Lost seized the opportunity to fill out their rapidly materializing Dharma Initiative.
The Mysterious Mrs. Goodspeed
It appears that a bond was forged between two spouses that were in one way or another, left behind. Amy by the murdered Paul and Horace by the mysteriously absent Olivia. Could it be possible that near the end of "LaFleur's" 3-year-span, that Olivia grabbed her and Horace's daughter, Charlotte, and peaced out for England? After Charlotte spent a fair amount of time learning Korean from Jin and developing an somewhat eery attraction to Faraday, (of course)? This would leave Horace to comfort the deserted Amy, and find himself tormented by the loss of his first wife and their daughter, driven to drunkeness even when he should be happiest?
Juliawyer? Sawyet?
However you say it, I like it. I love how the writer's managed to squash any obvious hints or connections up to tonight's episode. Kate better not ruin this. Someone needs to tell the women no for once! She and Jack need to beat it and continue their twisted, torturous relationship back in the city. Just look how people can flourish without those two drama queens around! PS Ben is not going to like Sawyet.
The Biggest Let-Down
That was a cruel trick. A couple of tricky edits and we were all in an uproar! So the woman with the sack over her head was Amy and they cleverly edited it to appear that Sawyer knew this woman. Lies.
LaFleur
They've made me love all of these broken, pathetic characters, and I can't help but root for them when their lives are looking up. Old theiving, conning Sawyer ate his way to the top of the food chain! Finally, those mad conman skills came in handy.
Cuddly Moment
This week's cuddly moment was brought to you by Juliet and Sawyer and Jin, when Juliet was able to deliver Amy's baby boy, we all got that rare, but familiar warm and fuzzy Lost feeling inside, as though you just drank a bad can of Dharma beer. Discouraged and scarred by her numerous attempts in the present to deliver babies on the island, Juliet was overjoyed to have finally seen a successful birth, and that made everyone happy.
So, What's the Little Fella's Name?
We'd be silly to think this child would be just another person. Surely he has to be someone we've encountered! According to lostpedia this child was born in 1977. Here are some things we should all know about 1977 and Lost:
• In the episode "Maternity Leave", Sawyer can be seen reading the novel "1977".
• Hugo "Hurley" Reyes and Kate Austen were born in 1977
• Sawyer's mother was conned by Anthony Cooper in 1977, and subseqently his parents were killed in 1977
TIRED!

This episode was good, but like you said, ABC made it out to be epic and it was more self contained than anything else. However, I too am liking the Sawyer/Juliet romance and Jin's ability to communicate English better is also welcome. Seems like 3 years was the magic number as despite the time travel and off island stuff, all the main characters have been away and felt as if it has been 3 years at this point. Very clever for some of reunion stuff that the next ep is getting at.
Also, second official shot of the giant '4-toed' statue. That thing is like the new smoke monster...the writers are stingy with revealing info about both.
Richard Alpert is awesome. His come-and-get-me march into Darhma HQ was cool. Although I'm not sure he didn't know who saywer was when they spoke. Maybe I'm reading into it a bit much. He's a crafty guy.
That's all I got.
Good points. I totally forgot to mention the statue. We were all freaking out! I think the statue deserves it's own post!
Also, I have a few ideas/questions on Alpert… maybe he can share a post with the statue.
i thought it was an awesome episode. i was getting sick of ben making everyone dance to his evil puppet strings. this was a nice break from that.
Too bad in a couple of episodes we'll find out that 14 year old Ben was pulling LaFleur's puppet strings!!
So many questions after that episode.... Are Horace and Olivia really Annie's parents? Where is 1974 Ben when Charlotte is spotted by Faraday? Are Sawyer and Locke going to be opposing leader's in "the coming war" that was mentioned by Widmore? Is the war going to actually be "the purge"? When are they finally going to let on why Alpert never ages?
What happens if older Ben is seen by younger Ben in the infirmary? Will Kate try to get back with Sawyer? Will Juliette find comfort with Jack again? Will their be a love quadrangle? TOO MANY QUESTIONS!!!
