I thought this weeks episode was very good. Definitely not the best episode of the year, but definitely a good one. The "chosen" theme and the destiny theme were interesting. I really hope the writers know where they are going with that.

The most interesting part of John's flashbacks were the people who appeared at key points in his life. It seems as if he has some potential to live up to and that there are people waiting for him to live up to it.

Richard is back. Again, and again, and again. It is one of the most interesting mysteries in Lost.

There I was sitting with Mrs Cycles saying - Christian is going to be in that cabin because Christian is Jacob. I was half right. So who is Jacob? Maybe it doesn't matter.

Clair's little half smile was disturbing. It reminded me of a scene in Blade Runner when two of the replicants smiled at each other behind Sebastian's back.

I don't understand why the doc said, in an earlier episode, that the Captain should be feared when he was pissed off. The mercenary disposed of him like so much used tissue. Maybe the writers wanted the Captain to be the bad guy for a while, then changed their mind and turned the Captain into a good-guy, right before they killed him off.

Why exactly is Desmond staying on the "boot"? He spent three years on the island so he didn't want to help Sayid rescue anyone. It had a hasty and unconvincing feel to it - as if the writers needed some excuse to keep Des on that boat for a future scene.

Loved the scene with Sayid on the dingy and the scene with Ben and Hurley eating the candy bar.

Edited to change references to Jason into references to Jacob. Thanks ZombieBaby.
