For this one, I’m all about agreeing with you on everything you write here. The fanboys need to get lives and realize that not everyone that watches this show reads and posts to blogs and message boards devoted to all things Lost. No, they just watch it for what it is. Maybe think on some things on their own or engage in some water cooler chatter, but most likely, they wait for the story to be revealed before them rather than write their own.

That actually describes my experience very well. Other than reading Ed’s posts, I don’t read anything else about the show (or our other mythology-rich fave, Heroes). So, even though I figured out a lot of the events verified here on my own, it was satisfying to get that confirmation and see it play out.

I think the scene between Sawyer and… well, Sawyer, was excellent. Just very well played by both actors. I think Cooper’s re-telling of his arrival on the island and his insistence that he is (they are) in Hell was particularly well crafted.

You don’t make any mention of the scene between Kate, Jack and Juliet, but assume that’s because it has been revealed somewhat more in the next episode. That said, I’m with Kate, everyone’s sudden distrust in Jack is a bit unnerving, but then, these are extraordinary circumstances, so maybe somewhat understandable given what’s been happening on that island.

Okay, maybe ten minutes for that…
