Ok...here's Kipper's $.02...lol
I liked this epi better than the previous one..but not as much as other epis. I've always like seeing the back stories on each character, it just gives them more depth.
Ana's story was good, and yes, it certainly does explain alot, such as: #1 - her personality, #2 - why she is the way she is, and #3 - why she's done some of the things she has. Now, that being said, (all you Ana lovers, get ready for it...here it comes), I still have no sympathy for this woman! Yes, getting shot multiple times and being pregnanat would be just awful, however, I just can't use that as justification for doing the things she has. It was obvious from the beginning that she never dealt with being shot, she shouldn't have been put back on patrol, hell, she shouldn't even have been cleared to go back to work. Now, it's obvious, she's just a vigilante turned nuts. I'm glad everyone left her and went to the beach. And as for Jack, yes, her and Jack should get together, and they should run off together and live happily ever after all to themselves somewhere deep in the jungle, all alone. Ana and Jack are female and male versions of the same thing...I do not like either of them.
Now Jack, again, he's just an ego-maniac. When Kate was golfing, and she asks him if he can golf, his reply "I'm a doctor".......uhhh, ya dude, big friggin deal...being a doctor makes you a good golf player..I mean give me a friggin break!!
I was so happy to see how tender Kate was with Sawyer. I think it's obvious that she really cares for him more than what she cares to admit. It was also obvious that Jack was jealous of Kate's obvious affection for Sawyer. I cannot wait until Sawyer comes around and see how he reacts to her now. I wonder if he'll remember any of it??
Now, I don't know about anyone else, but I shed a few tears in this epi. First was at the very end when Jack found Sayid, who was carrying Shannon in his arms, and he just silently walks past Jack. The look on Sayid's face, the way he held her so gently and so close, it was just such a touching and moving moment. I feel for Sayid. Not to mention, when he said to Ana just prior to that, "what's the point in killing you when we are both dead"...wow, I mean how deep is that??? Sayid is truly one character that has so many different layers to him...just loving this guy more and more.
The next tear I shed was when Bernard and Rose found each other...finally...how sweet. The last tear was for Sun and Jin...looks like maybe Jin is coming around and might start bringing down that wall he's put up between him and Sun. They truly do love each other...maybe now they can get back to that.
One thought now, about Ana's back story. If you remember last season, when we saw the part of Kate's back story, when she was in a car chase with the cops, the car crashes, the driver is dead, and she ends up fleeing on foot...I'm thinking that since we know Ana was a cop, maybe those two will be connected that way somehow..maybe Ana was part of that chase?? just a thought.
And I have to agree with Syd...I am loving Echo....I cannot wait to get to know more about him and what he's all about. He doesn't say much, hardly anything, and when he doesn't say anything, wow..it speaks volumes!
One funny part I had a good laugh at was when Echo was in the hatch, just standing there, and Locke walks around the corner..they look at each other...Locke says "hello"...Echo says "hello"..and that's it....I mean too funny....Locke suddenly sees this stranger, a huge black man whose built like a brick s*** house in the hatch...and all they say to each other is hello.....cracked me right up!!!
And yes, again I have to agree with Syd...I was kinda bummed that there was no cliff hanger..nothing to make your heart stop a beat and wish to God the next epi was coming up next...and yes, I'm starting to wonder if we are ever going to find out anything...the numbers? Dharma? Desmond? And where's Danielle???? The others?? I hope the writers get back into it....we need answers!!!!
Anyways, don't all you Ana-lovers beat me down..remember, I don't like the character...it's not the person..it's the character!!
