And now, here I am...for the first time. While I did begin to like this episode, in ways, towards the end, this episode did not do it for. I dunno...the writing seem awkward and forced at times...even the introductory scene of the outer Tempest structure blew. How bout a dramatic angle? I dunno what to rate this one yet. I definitely need to see it again.

My friend watched this with a group of us for the first time tonight. I thought he wouldn't like it because there'd be too much that he needed to know, but instead there was nothing he needed to know; because nothing happened.
I thought the entire point of having a definite endpoint was to avoid episodes like this. Awful backstory, awful plot, and the fact that the entire episode was basically driven by the fact that we didn't know if faraday and chick were good or bad, only to find out that they did a good thing, in which case it made absolutely no sense to keep it a secret and hit Kate.
My second let down of season 4.
I liked Faraday ´cause I always like him... And Ben was good too. But the episode seems so pointless...
Not one of my favs, definetely...
I didn't hate it or anything, but I certainly didn't love it.
I don't know, it was just kind of a letdown after all the excitement so far this season. The point of the entire FB was just to let us know that Ben loves Juliet (already inferred that) and that hes really controlling of her, even now. Okay, but really, I never cared if I learned anything else about Juliet and Goodwin.
The only really exciting thing was the revelation about Widmore. And Ben was awesome of course.
I always kinda liked Juliet, but I wasn't loving her in this episode.

Exactly. Why not just be like "Hey Kate, whats up, wanna come save everybody on the island with us" ?

I probably would have liked this episode a lot better if Lost as a whole didn't have a horrible reputation for how it treats its female characters - and now even Juliet has been reduced to simply an object to be fought over by men!
It was a decent episode, to be fair, but I'm highly disappointed in TPTB for letting yet another female lead lose her edge and become involved in stupid, unnecessary love polygons.
