That episode was ok. I was disappointed with their explanation of how to get back to the island. They made it sound pretty luck-based, e.g. "recreate the original crash as close as possible and hope for the best." What about the submarine that transported all the dharma people there, not just back in the 60s, but even recently with Juliet? Surely they weren't simply re-creating events that previously took place. Although it does make sense why they drugged Juliet to sleep for the trip.

Some interesting highlights from the episode:

* Aaron is gone and Kate refuses to talk about it? WTF. Lame.
* Wasn't Hurley in jail after turning himself into the authorities to avoid going back to the island? Now he's not only out, but knows all about the plane trip and willing to go. WTF.
* Why did Sayid suddenly change his mind too? And how did he find out about their trip and having to recreate the situation. Seemed like he was playing the part of Kate, as he was secretly in custody of some federal agent during the flight. The agent reminded me of Anna Lucia... coincidence?
* Jin showed up as one of the dharma. We can see how that happened, but WTF. Surely that had to have some implications on the events that later unfolded on the island. Major paradoxes there.
