The new episode was kind of [not much of a spoiler] a let-down. [/end musing]
Although the first four minutes were really intriguing, the rest was pretty meh. I guess it has something to do with the fact that among the Oceanic bunch, only Jack, Kate and Sawyer were shown in this episode. I sure as hell would like to know what's happened to the rest, especially Michael and Walt, whose names were left out of the opening credits. But I guess the good news is that Desmond and Henry are regular cast members now.[/spoiler]
And it might be a bit cliche, but the episode, although having answered some of the questions we've all had since the first season (like where those friggin' polar bears came from)[/spoiler], still managed to make less sense by posing more questions (like who the lady doctor Juliet was and why is she hot) [/spoiler].
