  4. Kate eating the Apollo candy bar cracks me up every time.
  5. Desmond calling Locke Box Man.
Notes:
  1. There are a lot of pointless scenes in this episode. We really don't need to see everything over again just to see it from someone else's point of view. A lot of things in the episode are drawn out for no reason and could have been done a lot quicker.
  2. While I really like the Michael flashback, I did not enjoy the on-island (in water) scenes with him and Sawyer. They just seem a little too dramatic and overacted. Every time he's yelling "Waaaaaalt!" all I'm thinking is "Shuuuuut uppppppp!" Needless to say, I'm not exactly the biggest fan of this episode, but it's still better than most things on TV.
  3. The appearance of Ezra James Sharkington!
  4. Susan Lloyd and her lawyer.. what a bunch of bitches.
  5. I really like Michael in the flashback of this episode, and I feel bad for him.
  6. Sawyer pulling out a bullet with his bear hands, badass, yet makes me cringe.
  7. I think after this episode is where I officially started to hate Locke, because the Locke that I knew from Season 1 died.
  8. The numbers add up to 108!
