I figured out my problem with the episode (besides the spiders).
We have had weeks of booooooooooring and disappointing episodes. Then we had 2 really great episodes with action and progression. Then this. I've read that questions from the first season were answered but I've long forgotten what it is they answered.
It wasn't that the episode was bad. It was just a break. No forward movement. We were asked to think that they wouldn't tell anyone about the hatch, the toilet, the TVs and that the Others were coming for Jack. Had we had 8 weeks of non-stop progression then perhaps this would have been a nice break. It was a break we weren't ready for.
If that flashback was way back when, that does ask [again] how did the Others know about the Losties. It was interesting seeing how Zep I mean Ben explained how he got people to do what he wanted.
The previews for next week look good. But I'm not getting my hopes up.
I've lost interest in the show to the point where I now walk out of the house to go out at 10pm instead of sitting at home waiting impatiently for Lost to come on.
