The weakest of the season so far. But BAM! Nice reveal at the end.

Lots more questions now...

The episode was a bit meh, but then the end!:eek::eek: Didnt see that coming. thought the episode was setting us up to reveal that kate did in fact have sawyers baby, and that was why jack had issues with seeing him, but aaron?! claire must be on the way out.

gave it a 7, a good 7, the ending dragged its ass out of it getting a 6, still the weakest episode though

edit:also the whole miles meeting ben thing was an uber-letdown!!!

One thing I really didnt like was the fact that Jin was able to form a perfect sentence with only being on the island for a little over 100 days and most of that was spent battling the others, pissed of with Sun etc etc. He hadn't got any, that i am aware of, English vocabulary when he landed on the island. So no way could his english progress so quickly. Unless Lost has teamed up with Heroes and Jin has some super sponge instead of a brain. At this rate by season 5 he'll be having full blown conversations

Meh, I'll give it a 6. Worst of the season so far.

gave it a 10 - fav. episode of the series so far. loved the court case, was kept wondering what would happen to Kate. Great twist at end - just when you think Kate's life has finally been sorted.


What was 'Eggtown' title about though?

geh, didn't think much of that at all. and i saw the twist coming, all this talk of Kate's baby without using his name was a giveaway. I just do not care about Kate or her boring little love triangle whatsoever.

And the Miles/Ben thing didn't have any oomph.

Interestingly Jack said in court that 8 people survived the crash, and then of course 6 made it off? Really makes one curious what story they concocted to avoid having to talk about Smokey and Jacob and polar bears.

Oceanic Six are now: Jack, Sayid, Kate, Ben, Hurley and Aaron. (Unless Ben made his own way off, which is possible). However, Aaron isn't one of the eight who Jack claims survives the crash, because he obviously wasn't born yet... hmmm.

i think sawyer was mentioned in the first flash forward as well coz i am under the impression he got off too. why is jack so freaked about seeing Aaron, because he is his half-nephew maybe?

Everything up until the last 5 seconds was fairly uninteresting and average. It will be interesting to see where they are going with it though. To the world only 8 survived the crash,what the hell happened to everyone else? Did all them stay or die or what? And why does Kate have Aaron? And why can't anyone in the cast pronounce Aaron? :rolleyes:

I figure that was just a lie of convenience. For example, for Aaron to be alive, Claire would have had to survive the crash, but since she, apparently, hasn't gotten off the island they would have had to say that she survived the crash and later died.

I was maybe thinking that the last one of the 6 could be Sun. If Jin was to kick the bucket, she would likely leave to bring up her child at home. And, it would play into a lie similar to that of Claire that Jin survived the crash, got Sun knocked up, and later died. Thus it would explain her pregnancy. I know it's a bit of a far out idea, but meh.

It would make the "8 survivors" Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, Claire, Jin, Sun and someone else. Then Jin, Claire and someone else kick the bucket leaving the Oceanic 6 as Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, Aaron and Sun.

Sad Professor

I'm still gathering my thoughts on this episode but regarding Jack's testimony: how the hell did their cover story include them arriving on an island in the South Pacific? That's no where near the Sunda Trench (where the supposed fake plane was found) which is off the coast of Indonesia in the Indian Ocean.

I mean the plane was going Sydney to LA. Why would the conspirators place the wreckage in the Indian Ocean? How could they possibly explain the plane ending up there? And now we have Future-Jack claiming 8 of them landed in the water and swam to an island in the South Pacific.

What the f**k is going on here?

Either the writers don't have a map or there's something much bigger to be revealed. I'm not so sure that plane is fake anymore...

defintily the wprst ep of the season so far, why hasn't Jack asked Faraday bout the experiment and what the hell was going on with the cards. seen the ending coming a mile off! giving this ep a 5

A 6 for me. This was like a bad episode of Brookside!

Cant say Im loving these Flashfowards so far, there's too much time to fill in between the present time and the time they take place in the future

Meh

7/10

And I think I was being kind with that score.

I haven't really liked the flash forwards so far, but only thing that redeemed itself was the "sawyers baby revelation", i wonder where sawyer is in the future? i hope they aren't going to kill him off...

It's getting annoying trying to make out where they are going with the plot, i know its only the start of the season, but every season they leave a lot of questions unanswered and then they try to dazzle you with new questions.

It's becoming a little tedious.

Oh btw! is it just me or does anyone else hate Jack?

AlmightyCushion

It was a bit boring I thought. The whole court case was quite boring. The bit with miles meeting Ben had the potential to be brilliant but turned out to be crap although I do wonder why he needed exactly 3.2 million. I seen the bit about erin coming a mile off.

I wonder what happened to the helicopter though. What's so special about that number they rang?

Ah I liked that episode a lot! Loads going on! I mean, we found out what happens to Kate when she gets off the island, how she doesn't go to jail and stuff, that's HUGE! I was only watching series one recently, I can't believe we're finding out off-island stuff before they even get off the island, not only is evry second of the flash forwards a clue, it's flippin' thrilling!

Series four is so good so far!

7/10!

Jack says 8 survived the crash, landed in the water and kate help him swim to the shore. Right before Kate interrupts him he says 'she tried to save the other two but they didn't....[interrupted by Kate]' My interpretation is that two people died in the water or possibly on the island. Why they settled on this story I don't know. I guess that will be revealed in season 5 or 6.

Really poor episode this week, turning into the last-5-second-wtf-flash-forward season. Mostly boring except for a few scraps of information.

5/10

jmcwobbles

Yeah I agree it was the worst episode so far, but that's mainly cos the season has been FAB so far... Didn't see the Erin thing coming at all, that was a bit of a shocker - but the main thing I'm wondering about was Faraday and Charlotte with the cards, what was that all about??? Something to do with memory??? Are they bringing in memory issues as well as time issues now?

I'll give it a seven.

The best bit was definitely

Locke shoving a grenade in Miles' mouth

. Freakin' hilarious!

And, yes, it does raise more questions, but was entertaining nonetheless.

Dreadfully poor episode. The 6th person is Michael. Remember the memorial?

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I don't know what people were expecting from the episode - we can't expect to have all the major questions revealed every week. I really liked this episode, especially after last weeks one, which I didn't think was great. I'll give Eggtown a 9.

If the oceanic six are celebs, there would hardly be nobody turning up at one of their funerals.
