This episode really should really have been a 10. Crazy revelations, mystery and intrigue, twists, turns and another plane crash! That was unfortunately also the problem with it. I felt like they were practically begging for attention by serving up doses of cheap thrills. The 6 return to the island. OK great, but I still don't feel they've made a good enough case for each of them wanting to go back to that God-forsaken place. The fact that the rest of them are suffering on the island might be a reason NOT to go to the island. All being on the same plane? Laughably implausible (which is saying a lot for this show) Instead of intrigue, I find myself dreading the convoluted explanations that are to come explaining how each was convinced to go back. Finally, when Kate said "don't ask me about" why Aaron isn't with her, I felt it was the writers who couldn't figure that one out. This is another mystery that I know will take a full episode of flashbacks to reveal. Great mystery or a desperate grasp at new plot lines?
All that being said, after watching and loving 80+ episodes of LOST, this less than stellar one amounts to little more than petty theft.
