EXCELLENT EP!
Matthew and Evie were fantastically brilliant.
Elizabeth brought her A game.
Sam/Bernard...I use to think he was ok in an Artz fashion, but his character's growing on me the more he's had the opportunity to be on-screen, especially his key scene last week and so forth.
Josh was great as well.
99.50 parts greatness. .50 complete disappointment
Loved the Jack/Kate stuff....but knew that it was just a taste to get everyone jazzed and then it would be taken away in the same ep to mess with us and due to the start of the downfall of Jack and the situation at hand. But it was really nice to see that relationship jump forward, and Matthew and Evie did a great job on that.
Liked the Sawyer/Claire stuff.
How Christian ties into everything still will be interesting.
.50 disappointment. I was really disappointed that they off'd Danielle. I think it would've been a great story arc, for her to turn up alive and surviving barely. Come across her dead daughter, go on a revenge spree, and throughout that time, for which maybe it could've been a two-part ep... have the flashback of Danielle, from the time she got to the island, to the time she was on, etc...and at the end of the ep, when she basically blames Ben for everything and tries to kill him, she ends up dying, shot by a surprise shooter, or ben himself.
But that will join the dashed storylines I hoped for, along with possibly the Walt storyline that I really hoped for.
Other than that, the episode was brillance.
Way to go (coining phrase) "DNC." Damon aNd Cuse.
