Yay SyFy put Lost back on at 4:00! I was able to catch today.

The Hunting Party was interesting. Brief recap this is where Micheal knocks out Locke, locks up him and Jack and takes of after Walt(after using the computer). Saywer, Jack and Locke take off after him. We have our famous jungle nighttime scene with "Zeke" aka Tom and the jungle full of torches, Tom telling them this is their island and they let them live on it and to not cross the line. Kate followed the guys and got nabbed by the Others and they had to trade their guns for her safety. Last line of the episode is Jack asking Ana Lucia how long it will take to raise/train an army.

Flashbacks are of Jack. He is asked to perform a miracle surgery on an old man with a tumor on his spine. The man is Italian and his daughter Gabriella is there. We learn that Sarah is often alone due to Jack working so hard. The surgery is not successful as the man dies due to heart failure. Gabriella kisses Jack in the parking lot and Jack confess to his wife this. After promising to make things better, Sarah informs him she was leaving him for someone else anyway. He will always need "something to fix".

Notables:

Kate spends a great deal in this episode trying to get on Jack's good side. She is all about him even though she shares a few smiles with Sawyer.

Jack, Locke and Sawyer hear gun shots in the jungle and when they come across the empty shells there is nothing else there. Those shots have never been accounted for have they? I had a brief thought of when they were time skipping if they might have done it there. It almost looked near the place where they were in 1954.

I hate to say this as it is one of my least favorite theories but this epsiode could be pointed at supporting the "they are all in therapy and are working out their problems via virtual reality". Gabriella after signing the release forms on her father tells Jack "What's the matter? Do you want to go back? You don't have to go back if you don't want to". It just stuck out and was odd. Additionally Jack admits to Sarah he made a mistake with Gabriella and right after that she tells him she is leaving him. Cut to island and Kate is repeatedly telling Jack she was sorry and made a mistake.

Jack finds Ana Lucia on the beach playing with Vincent and says "I see you have a new friend" and her answer? "Progress".

Locke tells Jack that they need light to go on in the dark.

Recurring theme through episode is that no one has the right to tell someone else what they can or can't do.
