Great review Joe!!  I have to agree.  I'm glad Sawyer got with Juliette.  Blonds are much better and she's the total package.  I couldn't care less about this statue garbage and who or what the baby turns into i'm sure they are all just devices to make up think past the main story line.  But I like your thoughts on RIchard being a Pharoah.  Makes sense...olive complextion and all that eye make up. 

But big kudos to how Sawyer handled everything.  Just like the O6 they have their own lie and they actually handled it much better than the 6.  I mean look at how messed up the O6 are.  I hope he stays with Juliette but we know he'll go back to boring old Kate.

Keep up the good reviews. Your getting better every week!!

I got a question... How has 3 years passed on the island? that is about the same amount of time that had passed off the island ... wouldn't three years on the island be like 20 or more off the island? or does time now function the same since the turning of the wheel?

Joe how can it be unclear if Miles got on the submarine when he's in 1977 helping Sawyer clean up Horace?

Richard Alpert doesn't wear eyeliner btw, that's the fans saying stuff. Lindelof & Cuse have gone on record stating he doesn't.

Sawyer picked the gayest name ever as is alias, wtf is Lafleur?  Come on Sawyer you're better than that.

Seriously, this episode was just a huge buildup for the last scene and that kinda pissed me off.  I hope we don't go for another triangle yet again, now with Sawyer/Juliet/Kate.  Juliet is always the Other woman, some things never change.

What I don't get is why all the we have to go back to save them deal.  The Losties seemed perfectly safe and fine in the Dharma Initiative.

Good character episode, I liked Sawyer working his longest con ever and Juliet finally able to deliver a baby. 

And if it's 1977 on the Island what year is it on Hydra Island?  Cesar and that other chic where on the Hydra station and that looked abandoned like Dharma or the Others hadn't been there in years.

Actually, whether he wears eyeliner or not (which I doubt, because he looks like that in everything he's in), it did make it's way into the show because Sawyer referred to him as Mr. Eyeliner or something like that.  I, too, believe the Egypt angle, and the first thing I said to my wife when I saw the statue was that it looked like Anubis.

It made it into the show cause the writers listen to what the fans say, it was a nod to them.  Lost has been known to do that.  Remember when there was the rumor it was all in Hurley's head?  Yea, then we got the ""Dave" episode where they completely debunked that rumor.

Seeing that statue made me the happiest of all.  I know it didn't really give us an answer but I'm just glad it is truly relevant.  The two toed foot was one of those things that has stuck with me since the first season and I've been praying they would explain it.  It looks like we will at some point at least. 

I enjoyed this episode very much.  I've never really liked Sawyer but this episode definitely showed that he can be a leader as well.  My favorite scene was where he talks to Horace about being able to get over a woman in 3 years.  It was very well done.  You just knew he didn't believe it 100%.  And even though I knew it was a setup for the eventual ending, I still loved his reaction to seeing Kate.  I don't think they'll do another love triangle.  Sure he and Kate had a fling but, Sawyer has been with Juliet longer than he ever even knew Kate, plus Kate and Jack have had their own ups and downs off the island for three years.  Both couples have separate relationships and still love eachother.  There might be a bit of tension but I don't think it will go anywhere.  But who knows?

Lost has been amazing this season and has become the show I anticipate the most each week.

Hanso, damn, yes of course Miles stayed there until '77. What I should have posed was why was his motivation to stay.

I'm aware of statement that Nestor Carbonell looks that way regadless, but like dnbritt says, it doesn't invalidate the rumore, and would make a bit of sense if he really is as aold as Juliet implied.

Bryzarro, thanks for the kind words. They're always appreciated.

Robkilled... Air Ajaira was going to crash in whatever year it was when it flew into the open time window. There was never any doubt the 05 plus Ben and Locke would end up with the Stay Behinders no matter where or when they landed on that island.

They're definitely gonna continue this Love Square; that's what this episode was all about, another Sawyer/Kate/Jack/Juliet episode.  I usually don't like those episodes as much as others, and this is no exception.  Of course I still liked the episode, and liked Sawyer more then ever, which I didn't think was possible.  But whew, the episodes focusing on these four always get on my nerves.  Of course Sawyer will go back to Kate, since Jack is fated to be a great man "but alone."  And since Jack's faith is beginning to be restored, he'll eventually believe and accept that too.

i think sawyer and juliette are way better than sawyer and kate. sawyer and juliette seem to really be in love. sawyer and kate were just rompin in the hay.

"How has 3 years passed on the island?" up until they came back to the island the island was still time jumping when john left after turning the wheel the island settled in time. sawyers group was stuck at that point in the past, 1977. they spent 3 years there catching up in real time. then when john and jacks group came back in the plane those that "teleported" off the plane fell backwards in time to 1977. to catch up to where the rest of thier group were.

i know what you are thinking, "why didnt john fall back as well?". because he was dead.

"What I don't get is why all the we have to go back to save them deal. The Losties seemed perfectly safe and fine in the Dharma Initiative." but that didnt happen until john left the island after turning the wheel. remember until then they were bouncing around. i also think that the real trigger for the bouncing to stop was john and jacks group in the plane hitting another temporal groove and bumping the island back to a stable state in time. that would also explain why the sawyer "dharma" group had to spend 3 years waiting for jack, kate, and hurley to appear.

as my wife would say, "it makes my head hurt"
