Okay- i'm up for a proper review now.

I'm agreeing with Rocco that this was one of THE best episodes ever- it's coming up there with The Moth and The Constant. The excitement, the reveals, the intriguing flash's...it's what Lost's about.

Firstly, I was saddened to discover that Dani is, in fact, dead. When Alex told Ben "they killed Karl, and my mother," my heart sank quite a lot.

And code 14-J? I think it's most likely that Alex sent it, at the same time as opening the sonic fence. Would they have programmed it (I mean they as in the Dharma Initiative, as I doubt Ben could have built it later) for safety regarding Smokey? Or for a situation just like this?

Alex's death scene made me sob...(I can't believe i'm about to type this)...more than Charlie's death scene did. It was so upsetting, and the fact that this was right in front of the burning remains of Claires house- very powerful, along with the first time Alex called Ben "daddy." I cried in front of this screen, my brother running to me to find out what was going on.

The sub-plot is making me wonder- what the heck is wrong with Jack? I don't know why his stomach started acting up as soon as Daniel lowered the bomb that they weren't there to rescue them. I think Jack lied that his 'bug', is just that.

Also- was that really the doctor? I couldn't really get a great glimpse of his face- and he was all pale and stuff.

The Flashes...very very intriguing. Sad to hear that Nadia is dead...feel extremely sorry for Sayid, but I had a hunch that his employment of Bens was something to do with her.

The Widmore scene is now one of my favourite scenes ever- Two brilliant actors in a room in the middle of the night- bound for a classic scene. I am also interested by the Ben/Penny situation. Will he get Sayid to kill her, or will he "do the honours" himself? If Desmond does get to the mainland- I don't think he'll let that happen, whether it's Ben or Sayid.

And CLAIRE- WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?! Glad that she's been dreaming of Charlie, but deciding that her whole believing of the reason of his death was a mistake and going back to the beach...HOW DARE SHE?! I mean- I think there she'll find Charlie's ring that he left for Aaron there and then go into a deep depression (that's what I want

)

All in all- brilliant episode, third 10/10 for me EVER.

Oh...and good to see Smokey again, or Rex as i'm gonna call him from now on.
