Gave it a 9. Awesome episode which lots of great moments (especially the flashbacks), that's bound to lead up to the best finale of the show (and that says something when it comes to lost).
After wacthing it twice I gave it a 10. I loved the flashes of the Oceanic 6 and the island scenes as well. Can't wait see the mind blowing finale next week.
Just wanted to say that for me, the scene where Jack gets the reveal about Claire was reminiscent of the scene in Exodus pt. 1 where Sawyer is cutting the trees for the raft and tells Jack that he met Christian Shepphard in a bar in Sydney.
Gave it a 9 after two viewings.
Found the whole memorial for Dr. D and Gramma Littleton's reveal boring as can be, but the rest was great. I'm still struggling with the timeline and Kate's seriously implausible story about her pregnancy, but I was so happy for Sayid, loved Hurley's parents, and was excited at every commercial break.
I had to think about this quite awhile before I voted. Then I gave it a 10. This was a transitional episode, but I realized it's one of the episodes I'm going to go back and watch again and again for years and years. The long-anticipated arrival into the arms of waiting family . . . the return of Nadia . . . meek Sun climbs the corporate ladder/staircase and turns into Vengeful!IndustrialMagnate!Sun . . . and best of all, the montage at the end (and particularly the shot from above of Kate and Sayid walking with the Others). Just SO MUCH there . . . and the real payoff still to come next week!
