this episode basically said "we remember that people got kidnapped, the kids and cindy, etc. so, don't say we don't remember stuff that our deep neglect made you think we forgot! we showed you a little more of the others, while not explaining anything. many of the losties were in a position to ask a lot of questions, but alas, no good ones were asked. and we shed some light on jack's tats because the teenie boppers were curious! and we'll even tell you what it says, but we won't tell you what it means" that is all this episode said. that's it.

the "marking" of juliette was stupid. why make it a complete tramp stamp?! and why draw the parallel between her and jack!? they have nothing in common and it makes no sense that they'd make googly eyes at each other. and let me just say that karl and alex being together makes no sense either. alex is cute and karl looks like he has downs syndrome.

i noticed this episode was directed by a WOMAN who's NEVER directed an episode of lost before, that's why it was so weird.

this was a below average episode.
