It just seems to me that it would have to be someone who knew what their plan was - Locke didn't know what they were doing, and he was off skinning a boar so I'm not so sure it was him. Perhaps Sawyer got someone else to send off the flag and he was the one who hit Sayid? This puzzles me.

Not to sound like a dummy but when Sayid was hit...for less than a second I thought it was the beast!

Then I came to my senses and thought it was Sawyer...but that meant he would've had to go back to the beach, find someone to light the flare/firework and catch up with Sayid. My guess is it's probably someone we haven't met.

I did like the episode; I tend to like all of them so far as they are so superior to most of what has been on episodic tv lately.

As to predictable, I believe that has to happen a little more often now. Since we know more about the characters each week, it easier to predict what they will do. Personally, I'd rather see a character develop logically rather than have them do a 180 just so the writers can deliver a 'surprise'. I think the island and the inhabitants still have enough surprises built in to last for quite a while.

Just my opinion, though.

You're very right. I guess I was too spoiled with the outstanding quality of every episode before last night's. It's definitely still my favorite and way better than anything else on tv, even if last night wasn't as great as the others have been.

Hmm, just thought of something. They picked up the radio transmission earlier in the season. If no one ever got that transmission thats been going on for 16 years, why do they think someone will get theirs?

Agreed, Florimel and DJeterFan. It's a tribute to the writers that a sub-average episode is still superior to 90% of the junk on network TV.

That's what Jack's point was about seeking better shelter in the caves. They've thought of it - they just want to keep trying.

I think they were flares from onboard the airplane.

I agree that the moth symbolism was a little obvious, but a show aimed only at the intellectually astute won't last very long. Pitch it where they can hit it. Keep 'em hooked.

I'm not too young....I'm just lazy...and don't want a driver's lisence cause I'll just be another hazard on the road

I wasn't sure why Boone put Shannon in charge of the rocket? She almost screwed it up, as she has a tendency to be somewhat flaky (sorry Shannon fans) it's kind of odd I think (unless I missed some explanation) that he would put something important in her hands and not do it himself. I understand from past episodes that he thinks she can't take care of herself, or be useful, but this is something with an outcome that could affect them all, not just the two of them.....
