What a great episode. Lost has really hit it’s stride for the final season. The writers have figured out how to answer a lot of the big questions while continuing to introduce new ones. Our Tuesday night Lost parties are a high point in my week. We even had Lost beer and wine this week.

I’ve started seeing more parallels between Myst and the conflict between Jacob and Man In Black. We keep debating which one of them is the good guy and which one is the bad guy. What if it’s not that simple? What if they are like the two brothers in Myst and they are both bad? They are trapped on the Island and bound by a set of rules. Just like in Myst.

I’m sticking with my belief that Jughead never exploded. Someone moved the island while Juliet was hitting the bomb. The white flash was the island moving, perhaps in both time and space, and not an atomic explosion.

I really enjoyed seeing Locke’s life in the no-crash timeline. I’m starting to care about this version of the truth.

Favorite moments this week:

- Ben saying words over Locke’s grave.

- Man In Locke throwing the white rock in the ocean. “It’s an inside joke.”

- The names on the roof of the cave. I can’t wait to see screen caps to see the other names.

As usual, Jeff Jensen does the best analysis of the week at EW.com.
