I thought it was a much better episode than the last few. I also went into it with lowered expectations, so that only made it that much better. Hopefully they keep the storyline more action packed.

It was good .... but what questions did it answer?

I think we as TV viewers are getting spoiled with a lot of shows. We expect every week to be filled with "answers" or new questions. Sometimes I forget that I'm watching to be entertained, not to do a report on it for school and need answers quick. Take the show for face value, last night was a pretty entertaining show, answers or no answers.Originally Posted by TeamCasey
Maybe.
I just expect it to not suck.
Season 3 has sucked IMHO.

Well, we know who the guy with the eyepatch is.
We know what the Flame station is or rather was.
It can be inferred that the hatch implosion has damaged the Other's ability to communicate with the outside world as well as their sonar beacon for their sub(s).
It was inferred that there was a conflict between the Others and the Darhma folks and the Others won.
It can also be inferred that the Others have been there in some form or another for a long time, or at least longer than Darhma.
I think that is pretty good for one episode.
BTW it was proposed on EW that the Others are Gnostics, who historically have another name I can't remember. Anyway, the other name translates to "The Good People". A reference Ben/Henry has made to his folk a couple of times.
Best episode of the year.
Here is my crazy theory for the next plot twist:
Locke has been turned by the others and is working for them now. He was alone with the leader in the first hatch and the leader helped him when the door came down on his legs. Locke was basically responsible for the first hatch getting blown up and now this one as well. Hmmm?
I don't know about Locke. I think when you approach things from the basis of faith, as he does, you can make some bad decisions. The other side of that is that Locke has faith that everything is meant to happen, so there are no real bad decisions. I don't see him as an Other sympathizer at all. In fact, I think he is at the other end of that spectrum.
I have long suspected that something isn't right with Charlie. He's very nosey, sticks close to the baby and seems to go into some very deep funks at times. As if he is dealing with an inner conflict.
Then again, could be the heroin talking.
That is what will make it such a good plot twist.
I don't need a lecture on my TV viewing. I've had years of experience.
Someone earlier in the thread mentioned that we got some answers. Just curious what they got out of it. Lots of people discuss the theories and whatnot.

Tonight's episode was perhaps the best of the season so far.
Jack and Claire are brother and sister...
Locke an other?
Jack catching the football...
Wow, that was quality "Lost" at it's finest!
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
Tonight was good, but next week should be better. Can't wait!

I didn't take it as him possibly being an "other", although I can understand how you reach that conclusion. I took it as another example where one or another "other" had interactions previously with some of those lost.
I enjoyed the "Claire" story.
I'm anxious to find out how Locke ended up in a wheel chair.
teach tolerance.
Tremendous episode!
I think Locke has different motives rather than rescuing Jack from the Others than do the other members of the rescue party.
Locke has always had a lot of faith in people and has been taken advantage of. Knowing that the others seem to know a lot about them from his conversation with Ben, I think Locke wants to know if he's being played again.
