I feel like I should watch this episode again because there were so many levels to the stories that I’m sure I missed things! It was a complex episode and and raises a host of new questions and mysteries. This is the only drama I watch in real time every week; the show keeps on getting better and better.

I like zombiebaby’s statement, “I think there are numerous cons going on here.” Ben and Locke, Locke and Sawyer, Ben and Juliet, Juliet and Jack, Desmond, Sayid, Hurley and Jack…

I love the chess match going on between Ben and Locke how he drew Sawyer into it. Sawyer (Josh Holloway) was fantastic, and as I’ve said before, Sawyer and Locke are two of my favorites and to have them together like that was great. Richard is an interesting minor character who I bet will play a bigger role in the future. He’s creepy and smooth at the same time – what is his deal? Is he still working with Ben or does he have his own agenda?

Although Jack has been a jerk this season (and to think he was one of my favorites during the first season) I think he still wants to “save” everyone that was on Flight 815. He and Juliet have some sort of plan, but I think Juliet has given him the bare facts and that there is a lot she is withholding from him. She is devious; Jack is not.

The burning questions in my mind are how did Cooper get to the island and who exactly staged the fake plane crash. The mysteries and power of the Island is even more far reaching than I expected. It really does bring us back to the original question from the pilot, “Where Are We? I am excited that Ben’s flashback is next. He is incredibly manipulative and sadistic and it should be another episode that weaves more layers (questions and answers) into the story!
