This is the official episode rating thread for The Economist. The rating poll is located above.

The_abbott · 02-18-2008, 10:28 AM

I gave it an 8. So same rating for the past two episodes for me. Its not moving forward as such but staying on an even keel for me.

***firebreathingfishies*** · 02-18-2008, 10:28 AM

I loved this episode, it was really unexpected. I knew straight away that it was a flashforward so I was all

Sayid got off the island! And I expected him to be all happy with Nadia or something but no

A hitman. And not just any hitman, Ben's hitman!! Freaking amazing. I wish I hadn't given last weeks episode a 9 now because i wanted to rate this one higher, but 10 is too high... so 9

8: Enjoyed it a lot again, makes me laugh to see the advert answers are comming when all I see are more questions!

8 - the best one so far. Loads happened but at the same time, it still doesnt give much away. High levels of 'wow' with Sayid working for Ben at the end. Loads to think about. Good episode.

8. Woop Sayid gets off.

AND BEN! OMG I was so shocked to see he got off (and i'm not even lying there!)

Losty · 02-18-2008, 12:11 PM

8. Good, very good, but not the best.

I sobbed at the Sawyer/Kate moment, and that's the first time i've cried in Lost since Charlie's death so...

JB Sawyer · 02-18-2008, 01:21 PM

8/10.

Better than last week but the flashforward (minus the last scene) let it down.

***Kiowa Warrior*** · 02-18-2008, 03:18 PM

I'd give it an 8. A very solid episode that automatically scores high given the decreased screen time of Jack in it, but while it's better than 4.01 I still think that 4.02 is the best episode so far this season.

lalaland · 02-18-2008, 04:08 PM

i gave it a 7. probably would have been higher if i hadn't read a spoiler so i knew sayid was working for ben from the start. grr! not sure if i liked hurleys sneakiness, that left a bad taste in my mouth

***Lupinbell*** · 02-18-2008, 07:40 PM

I gave it an 8. Although I'm only able to read minute details on Lostpedia so I only get the story.

The Flashforward was pretty cool too.

***monster-eats-pilot*** · 02-18-2008, 07:45 PM

7. I liked the ending alot but idk it just didnt appeal that much to me.
