Ok this is for rating the episode its self. Just give a mark out from 1-10 to how good the episode was and maybe a little comment. Thats it.

I gave 6

NB:I didnt realise there was an offical discussion thread for this episode. If this in anyway violates that thread, please feel free to delete it. thanks.

night night

i thought it was a great episode, first series opener we've had that hasn't started on music

and nice to see jack doing well off the island for a while (even though the flashforward was before that of the one last episode).
I almost felt like crying when Hurley told Claire about Charlie

and Dom looked so damn hot in that episode!
...umm... yeh I can't really think of many bad points, except Naomi... why did she leave a fake trail?

oh yeh... i'll give it a 7

TheDharmaShark · 02-03-2008, 11:24 PM

7

Was a solid episode. Worst opening scene out of all 4 series though. I was expecting more all around tbh.

Him · 02-04-2008, 01:21 AM

I'm going to give it an 8 - I liked this episode, and I thought it was better than last season's opener.
Perhaps it's more deserving of a 7 or 7.5 in the grand scheme of things, but I'll give it a bonus for the questions it's raised, even if the pace wasn't blistering.

lalaland · 02-04-2008, 01:58 AM

i gave it an 8, solely because it gave me soooo much to think about and try to figure out. it was a bit slow, especially the start of the episode, but i'm a bit thankful for that, my brain would've overloaded otherwise

keeno_82uk · 02-04-2008, 06:40 AM

i gave it a 7.

it was an alright episode for the season opener.

Murgatroyd · 02-04-2008, 08:28 AM

9! I don't think I've ever given a high rating than most of the board before, but I thought it was an excellent episode. It's only a step down from the high points of season 1 because the flashforward wasn't as cohesive a standalone story as, say, Deus Ex Machina or Walkabout, but I thought it was the best season opener since Pilot. And the first not to be Jack-centric.

***D-Roc*** · 02-04-2008, 08:47 AM

I gave it a very high 8 - it had different pacing and seems surreal..but that's part of the reason why I love it. Lost has the ability to reinvent itself and at this stage that's important. I love the new FF mechanism, the visuals..everything..it's just such a rewatchable episode too.

It also seems somewhat 'darker' and edgier..we'll see how that plays out, but I'm liking it so far..although I sense they needed us to overlook certain coincidences which took place in the episode, I do appreciate that this must've been an incredibly difficult episode to write and produce.

***firebreathingfishies*** · 02-04-2008, 08:50 AM

i gave it a 9, nearly a 10 but there's been better episodes

yes I'm easily pleased. and it was because Charlie was in it.

Matt Gogi · 02-04-2008, 08:50 AM

8... it was good, but like I said in the discussion thread, it just semed to lack something. Good opener though.

haelle03 · 02-04-2008, 08:57 AM

8....for the Charlie scene alone.

harvey107 · 02-04-2008, 11:28 AM

I gave a 10 out of 10 but I think a couple of points are given just because I'm so happy Lost is back!

Reed · 02-04-2008, 04:31 PM

Will need to watch it again before I rate it as I cannot remember much from it but I suppose I would give it an 8 or a 9.
