Well, we got another great episode of Lost Tuesday night, full of action in both realities, and quite a bit of mythological exposition on the island. Everyone is back together, as Smokey pointed out. As presumably "The Last Recruit," Jack was great in this episode. I'm not sure what exactly it is about him, but Jack is turning into one of the best characters on this show. Maybe it's his unpredictability, or his new-found faith in the island, or his peace with the actions he has taken. But there's some kind of vulnerability there, played incredibly well by Matthew Fox, that's got me invested in every action he makes. Not something that could be said for Jack in previous seasons.
Given the lack of a whole lot of episodic ambiguity to ponder, I'm going to break both realities down into some likes/dislikes/intriguers.
