I absolutely loved this episode. Everything's been so 'heavy' (understandably) so far this season, we needed an episode like this! And the "you make your own luck" was an interesting contrast to the "you can't escape fate" message of Flashes Before Your Eyes.
And I saw lots of groundwork for future plot points... obviously the Kate/Sayid/Locke/Danielle rescue mission (and hope of finally a Danielle/Alex reunion?), but also hints of tension around the whole Sun kidnapping still to be resolved.
But mostly, I'm just thrilled to see an episode again with almost the whole ensemble, and some of the awesome banter that I've been missing lately. And LOVED Hurley trying to come back at Sawyer with a nickname!
This episode foams over the brim with awesomeness (see what I did there?)!
Dialogue was outstanding, characters were brilliant, the Sawyer/Kate aspect was sensible and logical, and Kate was actually bearable.
Fantastic!
Some may say stuff about how Sawyer went all kamikaze with the nicknames, but this episode truly benefitted from them. The atmosphere is just so relieving.

Best line ever!
And yes... I liked the nickname overload - it was almost as if Sawyer had to get it out of his system after having been away from them all for a few days. Also, I think after that key moment where Kate stopped calling him James and called him Sawyer again, it was sort of a demonstration of him putting the 'Sawyer' persona back on, when he'd let it slip a bit with Kate.
Hurley is a really hopeful and uplifting guy and the aspect of shaping your own well being was explained deeper.
Very different from last weeks episode. I know many may still be in the droughtful stage of being angry at Lost, but this episode was relieving on so many levels.
This episode brought a tonne of hope into my eyes. I was smiling the whole time.
Hurley's horny parents were funny. Seemed like a joke by the writers.
"Hey, wouldn't it be funny if they want to have 'fun' after 17 years?"
That was a fun episode. So happy to see the ensemble back. People were afraid the humour would be out of place but I think it was done great and the balance between drama and humour was adequate.
I loved Hurley talking to Libby. So touching. And it was nice to see a dad who isn't a complete jerk (if you take away leaving the family for 17 years).
Watching the gang in the van all happy in the van put a big smile on my face. Such a feel good scene. One of my favorite ever.

don't forget his dad came back for some money, but he did try to do something good for him, it was good to see them all smile again
I wasn't too crazy about Hurley's horny parents, though. Seemed like a joke by the writers.

Why is that a joke? I've been married almost 25 years - 'nuff said. If you love each other, it's "fun" no matter how long you've been married.
:running over to TPTB question board to ask when Hurley is going to get another girlfriend:
it was a "fun" episode Next episode.... OO NOW THAT WILL BE GOOD !!!!!!
