(*Lost*)

[Nucholza]

"This is the first time Kate has seen the "ressurected" John Locke and she knows Locke is on the wrong side" is the last said in the recap episode. That makes me think that she hasn't actually joined them, but they do also say "Now Locke has acquired the remaining Others, Sayid, Claire, and Kate" which is conflicting, right?

I dunno, the episode was good as a stand-alone episode for all the reasons you listed, I just expect more to happen in these last 10 episodes. I remember watching tonight's episode and fast-forwarding through some commercials and noticing I was 45 min into the episode and wondering "what the fuck, nothing big has happened".

I agree that things are looking up and getting good, but that's the same feeling I had after the last episode, "Sundown", and thinking this one with Ben would be amazingly good. So I dunno, just feels like getting setup for mediocrity once again.

My own personal highlight for this episode was due to myself. In one of the last scenes when Jack, Richard, and Hurley arrive at the beach and Sun runs towards Hurley I just thought to myself "wouldn't it be awesome if this is where they answer the questions of which Kwan is the candidate because Hurley's fatass trips and falls and crushes Sun to death". But maybe that's just me...
