This was an action-packed episode. More than once, I expected a character to shoot another in the face. Alas, nothing quite that exciting happened.
To sum up quickly, on-island, Sawyer convinced the gang to abandon Flocke in favor of Widmore's sub. Claire got pissed at being abandoned again. Flocke instructed Sayid to kill Desmond. Desmond manipulated Sayid into (probably) not killing him. Dirty Tina Fey kept talking into walkie talkies to cause explosions. Jin and Sun reunited. And Jack jumped off the sailboat (Desmond's, given to him by Libby, if you'll recall) because he felt like leaving the island just wasn't right. Oh, and Widmore decided Sawyer wasn't a good guy after all.
In the sideways world, Desmond reunited Claire and Jack at a meeting with his lawyer - who turned out to be Ilana! Locke was taken to the hospital, about to be operated on by Jack. David and his daddy got more bonding time. Sawyer and Kate flirted a lot. After killing Keamy, Sayid was tracked to Nadia's house by Miles and Sawyer. And Sun survived her gunshot wound - and got freaked out by seeing Locke.
That's the abridged version, and I didn't even mention everything. A couple of interesting notes:
-Who is the "last recruit"? We must assume it's Jack, no?
-The cut from Jack to Locke in the OR mirror sure was good juxtaposition. Two-faced, if you will.
-Who else thought Claire was going to blow Kate's face off across Desmond's purty boat?
-Who else thought Jin and Sun were going to be zapped by the sonic fence?
-Jack's jumping ship mirrored Sawyer jumping out of the helicopter at the end of Season 4.
-Sawyer was eating an apple in his scene with Kate in the sideways world. Is that a hint of Adam and Eve? At least he wasn't playing with snakes.
-Is Jack really under Flocke's control?
-Now we know for sure that Jack's vision of his father was in fact Smokey. But what about visions of Christian by other people - by Locke while turning the frozen donkey wheel, and by Michael on the freighter?
No new episodes for two weeks. Curses! B+

No, I hadn't. Very cool!
I totally thought Jin and Sun were going to get zapped by the sonic fence! Apparently there was a line earlier about turning it off (Zoe says it into the walkie). But I missed the line, and I was afraid they were going to get killed. Totally ruined the reunion for me, which sucks because I've been waiting for it for so long!
This was me when Jin and Sun started running towards each other:
"NOOOOO GUYS DON'T DO IT YOU'LL DIEEEE AGGHHHHHHHHH"
So, yes. That was mean of the Lost writers. I mean, you wouldn't think a guy would be able to turn off the fence so quickly after Widmore's #2 asked him to.
I really liked this episode. I feel like things are finally going somewhere.
I agree about the Sonic fence. How horrific if they had done that. I'm glad they didn't, since it would have pissed millions of people off.
I agree, I think it's going somewhere too. Thank God.

Sorry about the comment twins. Apparently my site really, really likes me.
