Apparently I'm in the minority, but I didn't think much of this episode. About halfway through DW looked at me and said, "It's very slow," and I agreed with her. While it tied together some bits and pieces from other episodes, I didn't see much plot progression. Yes, I get it, things are building up to a big conflict at the end, but does that mean we have to wait through six more transitional episodes before it happens?

Overall much of this season has felt like a soap opera, where very little happens until the last 30 seconds, and then there's a big cliffhanger. While I'm sure the mystery of Locke's discussion with Widmore and subsequent reappearance on the main island will be explained later, I'm losing interest in always having to wait for answers. And Sun's bumped head and forgotten ability to speak English? Right out of the soap opera handbook.

I expected more out of this season, and especially out of this episode.
