How Lost got its groove back. Is it just me or does Lost really feel like Lost again? I would give every episode since the Jack tattoo episode at least a B and most would be an A. Last week's episode with Jacob would be the 2nd A+ with the other A+ being awarded to Desmond's kooky time-travel flashback.
Best moments from last night's Charlie-centric episode:
-Sayid getting up in Jack's face, tellin' him like it is.
-Alex hinting that she knows Ben might not be her father.
AND
-Last night, though, they got me. I was expecting one of three outcomes: 1)Desmond's vision comes true to the letter, with Charlie saving the day and dying; 2)Charlie dies in failure, because the show is just that bleak sometimes; 3)Charlie succeeds and yet somehow manages to make it back up in time. I sure as hell wasn't predicting that he'd be besieged by some underwater commandos. Are they Others/Hostiles? Dharma? Something else entirely? From Sepinwall.blogspot.com:
I couldn't have thought it better myself. This is right on track with where my mind was last night.
Other thoughts:
-Is Desmond telling Charlie the truth? Is Desmond going to be getting on that chopper and not Claire? Claire could just be Desmond's device to motivate Charlie into action.
-Was Bernard brought back to be killed off?
-Jin can shoot? I'm not surprised, but I have a strong suspicion we might be finding out more about that in the future.
- Nadia, Sayid's true love was the woman being robbed when Charlie saved the day.
-Was the day Desmond ran into Charlie singing Wonderwall the same day that he saved Nadia? Charlie was wearing different clothes, so I'm not sure...but I think it is significant. This might be a way to show us that the timelines are/have been disrupted.
Every semi-spoiler site that I visit swears that you MUST NOT read any spoilers for the finale. And every one of them says that reading a spoiler will spoil all the fun. So I am guessing this major twist is going to be bigger than just a major character or 3 dying. I mean what fun is death?
The biggest question of all though is this...Why did Jack make the entire gang trek out to the jungle to show the trees being blown up? Why the demonstration or did the show just need to waste a few special FX bucks? Is Jack still withholding some kind of secret? Does he know more than he is letting on? Why do I feel like he and Juliette are still playing everyone?
Your thoughts?
OUT!

I thought this episode was awesome. Good combination of information and action.
I have a question, though: Why would Alex suddenly be so suspicious Ben is her father? Maybe she had been talking to Locke and we didn't know.
Loved Charlie's "greatest hits." Also, I still think Juliet and Jack are hiding something. Jack seems to be taking the "war" really personally and probably isn't looking out for the good of the group like he should.
One last thing. If you go look at the Dharma symbol for the Looking Glass station, it's a rabbit with a hole on it. Is it possible that the cable isn't really for communication? What if the station has something to do with time travel or something (down the rabbit hole, hmmm)?
thats a great observation on the dharma logo for the looking glass. I was definitely thinking that it might be the hub for time travel experimentation b/c of the alice in wonderland theme. But now it makes me even more sure of it b/c of the rabbit.
Ben sure loves his rabbits.
Do you think Desmond realized that the underwater hatch was a way out??? Maybe that's why he suddenly was so interested in fulfilling charlies role for him?
