I've voted 'Best episode ever' because it's in my top 3 or 4 of all time. I'd rate it a 9.5 and round up.

I do hope for even better episodes, but seriously, this was AMAZING!

Losty · 04-27-2008, 05:44 PM

I agree, one of my three favourites so far. 10/10 for pure awesomeness.

Lauren [is Lost] · 04-27-2008, 06:48 PM

I'm trying to decide between 8 and 9...

7. Points off for the Star Wars-style "let the goodies walk unscathed through a hail of gunfire while the extras are going down like ducks in a shooting gallery." The flashback was slightly meh, also (apart from the first "fallen from the sky" scene). However, I can't feel too strongly against any episode that reintroduces Old Smokey in such wonderful fashion. The last scene was also rather brilliant, the beautifully straightforward, Hammeresque villainy of Widmore being a superb remedy for all of the moral ambiguity and self-righteousness of most of the more significant characters. How I loved hearing Ben addressed as "boy"

. Almost as good as hearing Locke referred to as "that bald w****r". Never thought I'd miss Charlie so much, but the main characters in this show really need someone to take them down a peg or two every now and again.

It was a flashforward was it not?

Anyway, 10/10, but its not my favourite ever lol.

I loved this episode. I rank it right up there with The Constant. Ben gets better and better everytime I watch him. I have been around a long time and I've watched a lot of TV shows and I can honestly say I have never seen anything this good on television before and doubt that I ever will.

It's drama, comedy, romance, action, suspense and mystery all rolled into one.

***Kiowa Warrior*** · 04-28-2008, 09:56 AM

I'll rate it a 9, but really it's a 9.6! Definately one of the episodes I'll be happy to watch again and again and again. If this is the shape of things to come for the rest of S4 it looks set to be amazing...

Yeah have to re-echo those sentiments, it was just one of the best television experiences of my life - even once the magic of this episode wears off (which it probably wont

) I will still remember how i felt whilst watching originally watching it - it was just captivating and brilliant tv. As KF said, it basically had everything!
