The what did you think of this weeks Epsiode thread!!!

This is where you can talk about the latest episodes and discuss all the crazy moments of the show!

This last week's episode was pretty good. I liked Hurley trying to rewrite Empire. I had posted on a different forum last season that the Doc and Miles were probably related. I didn't think it would end up being correct though. That said this season is the first one where every episode has kicked ass so I'm looking forward to each episode.

Decent episode....didn't move the plot all that much, but I enjoyed Miles' backstory. Can't wait for 2 weeks for a Faraday-centric episode!

Questions raised:

1. Where has Faraday been?
2. Who was in the van the kidnapped Miles and urged him not to get on the freighter? They are obviously in the same group as Illana.
3. What lies in the shadow of the statue? The temple, maybe?

It was OK, but not great. Confirmed what we already had pretty well figured out, namely Miles is Pierre's son. It showed us they were building The Swan, which we already figured out. And it set up a bit of a reckoning coming with the losties and Dharma, as it looks like they will be found out.

Also seemed to hint that Miles doesn't really talk to the dead, he can just read their final thoughts. And it is likely the result of some island happenings.

Next 3 episodes look INCREDIBLE.

Just as a update for people, there was no NEW episode last night, it was the catch up show, so while your dvr may have recorded it, it was just a refresher and no story movement.

It was a waste of money, time, bandwidth, and electricity. Why run it three episodes before the end of the season?

Sweeps.

I kinda agree and thought they were running 16 right in a row, with no breaks, why did they do a recap show?

[Derwin0]

I was nice to see the "Oceanic 6" segments in order. But other than that, it was a waste of time. Be nice if they put something new into it.

But the reason for a recap show, was to extend the season at little to no cost.

I guess, I am in the minority, as I found the recap show to be the most valuable one I had seen in a long time (I generally hate those, and delete without watching), but this one took two years of flash-forwards and then present-day stories and tied them all together in a way that brought it all together very nicely.

There is something very challenging about tying all of the pieces together, particularly since they have had such long hiatuses between seasons, the memory sometimes fails.
