Get well soon =(
There were lots of things I liked about this episode, though it did have me wondering if they're really going to be able to settle everything and answer all the questions by the end of the season, without having to rush it. THese past two episodes seem to have had a really slow pace, am I right?
It's good to see that flash-sideways Ben is a good man. He gave up everything for Alex - which is what he didn't do when he let her die on the island. Interesting that he and his father had been to the island and the Dharma Initiative in the flash-sideways...more hints as to what maybe had been the deciding factor of what makes the two realities different. It can't be the bomb, because Ben's father had already become an alcoholic at that point in the other universe.
The scene between Richard and Jack was pretty intense - of course we all knew it wasn't going to go off, but I thought Richard would stop it. Jacob's presence is still there, doesn't really matter if he's dead or not!
Interesting that Richard said that he'd been given his gift of immortality when "Jacob touched him." Jacob didn't directly touch some of the Losties - Kate, Sawyer, Jack, Hurley...he gave them all objects. He did directly touch Sun and Jin...but maybe the "Kwon" he was referring to is their daughter since he didn't touch her personally but touched her parents? But Locke..he did touch him didn't he?
Anyway, just some thoughts...as always, with Lost!
