I had the great opportunity of watching this as a premiere on ABC. I also had the opportuinity to watch the "special version" of 3x22/23 with the subtitled information.

I was very impressed with the episode but there was one or two things that bothered me.

I'll start with the positives. Its great to have a flash forward so quickly and we now know 6 people made it off the island (if thats what Oceanic 6 meant that is). My guess would be Jack, Kate, Hurley, Claire, Aaron, Sun, Jin with the added possibility that one or more of Des, Ben and Juliet made it off too but are not considered one of the passengers. But why all the top secret stuff about other people surviving? (I have always said I think Ben is in the coffin as noone knew him as he spent all his years on the island so nobody would go to his funeral but maybe Ben dies through spinal injuries caused by Jack's Operation which is why he was so desperate to do the womans in 3x22/23?)

What has Jack agreed to this time I wonder? That man is grating on me. I suspect thats part if the deal with the boat people to get rescued that they remain quiet about the island and any survivors. That creepy man that viisted Hugo seemed to think there are more survivors but why?? He says he works for Oceanic didn't he? So was Cindy/Pilot in on it all???

It was funny seeing Juliet doing all the hard labour of burying her other friends whilst Sawyer had a beer and Hurley did a cannonball.

It was great to see the losties divided as we need some tension amoung them to create new dramas. As I said on another thread I would have chosen Locke's team although that sounds like its the bad decision as Hugo regrets it later it seems.

I also loved how Ben played Jack in this episode. I'm not sure who I hate more now. Funny - I love Lost as a programme but I am becoming to hate several characters. Ben, Locke, Kate, Karl.....add Jack to that list now. I seem to only like those that stay in the background like Sayid, Des and Sawyer although I have newfound fondness for Hurley.

Now...WTF were the writers thinking with the Naomi plot???? As if a half dead person have the energy to fake a trail and climb a tree?? Its LUDICROUS. I have seen some fantasy stuff on Lost before but that took the biscuit. And to make matters worse its a plot point for Kate. Again showing as Kate knows it all and outsmarts Jack again with that annoying grin and fake cry. Again she shows she has not learned from her past by STEALING the radio. I so hope she goes pleading to Locke and Sawyer to join them and they say no.

I gave it a 7 as I'm intrigued to know where this is going but shame on them for that Naomi crap.

Edit - had to quickly mention Jacob's hut making an appearnce again. That was odd. I'm sure that is Locke's eye and the same eye that Locke saw in the cabin.

I also saw the screen grab of Christian in the chair and John Terry was credited but why not show him more clearly??

Also, if they have to change the credits to remove Dominic in episode 2 (unless Charlie is a regular ghost that only Hugo can see like that green alien that only Fred Flinstone could see) why did they have to out up the new names for episode 1? Talk about spoilers in the credits. I counted at least 4 new names.

Also was that cop in Ana Lucia's flashback episodes? He said he knew her.
