Just watched it (Canada and early start times FTW) - unfortunately, its the most disappointing episode of the year so far (no one expected the Kate episode to know our socks off), and only the Kate episode is worse. The off island stuff amounts to mostly random cameos mixed in with a few nuggets of good Sawyer stuff, and the on island stuff is just set up for things to come. Both from a character and a plot perspective, this episode doesnt really progress things a whole lot.
Anyone here who posts at Lost-GAF can copy and paste that over in the episode thread if they want.
