In complete contrast to "This Place is Death" this episode was action free (aside from a bloodied and bruised Ben) yet it was just as every bit exciting due to the sheer volume of information we were given. We learned how Dharma discovered the Island and we learned that the Island is contastly moving. We learned that it wasn't Christians fault that he was wearing white sneakers with his suit. His son just isn't that good of a dresser. We saw that Jin is posing as a Dharma worker which answers the question of where the time-jumpers ended up after Locke fixed the wheel. We also have plenty of questions. Where is Aaron? Why did Kate give him up so easily? Do we really care? How was Hurley convinced to go back? I'm guessing Charlie finally got through to him or maybe Libby paid him a visit. Was Sayid really under arrest or is he being escorted by an Other dressed as a marshal? Why wasn't Lapidus scared out of his mind when he saw Jack and the other members of the Oceanic 6? He should have known that there was no chance of that plane landing in Guam, or anywhere else for that matter, safely. Lets just hope he's still alive. Anyway, enough of my rambling. Let's get to uh, um, more of my ramblings. Jack: Welcome back to the Island.
