*SPOILERS AHEAD*
The episode begins with an awesome fight scene between Sayid and Dogen.Is there really more to ask?
The answer is of course no.Maybe the poorest flash sideways to date,with the exception of Kimmie's and Jin's appearance, but it really didn't matter because what was happening on the island was all you really wanted to see.
The story is unraveling with a quick pace and it's about time, seeing that there are only 12 episodes left *sigh*, and everything is starting to fall into place.Well, not exactly,but still. Smocke has successfully made everyone to flee in panic, even though they all kept saying that the Temple would protect them(yeah, what happened, to that?).With,apparently,Sayid taking his side and rediscovering his dark side,along with Claire and Sawyer and some scared ex-Others, he is now the master of this game.
And then he lays his eyes on Kate.The way he looks at Kate in the final scene(what a brilliant actor!)was,IMO,the episode's best moment. Disappointed and angry but all the while thinking "I'll deal with you later".Amazing!And Kate...well,let's face it.She's in trouble big time!Apart from "siding" with the bad guys without even knowing it, she told psycho-Claire that she took her child and raised it.Come on!Can't you see her?Shut up for a minute and think!Eugh!
So it appears we have two sides now(it reminded me of Stephen King's "The Stand" and I am yet to be proven wrong) : The baddies, with Smocke, Sawyer, Claire, Sayid, Kate and some of the Others and the good guys who are Jacob(I don't know in which form yet,but all bets are on Jack so there can be a Jack - Locke face-off in the finale),Jack, Hurley who will eventually meet with Sun, Ben, Miles, Frank and Ilana. Richard has gone AWOL and Jin we assume is still at Claire's hideout.Let's see how it'll all play out.
Great episode with the flashsideways being its only flaw.
