Well, things are starting to get interesting now aren't they. But I guess you could say that about pretty much any episode so far this season. I do think the faster story-telling has helped keep things interesting this season. So let's do a spoiler free recap real quick. The losties on the beach find that thing that those some other people couldn't explain. Some other dudes do some stuff with that one person. The losties at The Others' camp start preparing for something. Then something happens which makes us think "Oh, so that's how that situation came to be." But then it turns out that wasn't the case. Then a really shocking thing happened. Seriously, I couldn't believe it. Then one character goes and does something which makes us think "Oh, there's a connection between those two?!" Then on the beach the one guy says something and another guy says something else which isn't that big of a surprise because we pretty much knew that certain people were inclined toward a certain way of thinking to begin with. Oh, and in the flashback/flashfoward we do indeed learn how a different situation came to be. In all seriousness though, there was a part in the episode which was not intended to be funny but my wife and I found hilarious. It took away a bit from what should have had more of an impact.
