WARNING: POST CONTAINS EPISODE SPOILERS
A Jackpisode I actually enjoyed? Will wonders never cease? But Lighthouse was all about Jackie boy and I did think it was pretty great. The flash sideways was definitely interesting. Jack a dad and maybe not much different than his own father, although he certainly seems willing to change. And who is young David's mother? I also wonder if Jack's parents are still together, considering his mom was still living in the house that Island Jack claimed he hadn't lived in since childhood. I'm more convinced than ever that the parallel universe is what would have happened if Jacob hadn't touched the Losties. Great glimpse of Japanese Temple Dude at the piano recital.
I also loved how there were references and tie-ins to that old Jack-centric episode, "White Rabbit." (I mean, David was even reading The Annotated Alice. And this is why I love this show.) Thanks for bringing back the caves, Shannon's asthma medication, and especially Adam and Eve. I know a lot of people are dying to know the idenity of these skeletons and I thought it was great how Hurley was speculating that they just might be the Losties after having jumped to another time. It was also interesting how Jack didn't seem to remember his appendectomy scar.
The lighthouse was cool. Sure, it just adds to the questions, but I enjoyed the Jacob-Hurley exchange (and I did like how Jack voiced the, "How come we haven't seen this building before?" question.) I wonder if someone really is coming to the island (and if so, who?) or if it was all just a ruse to get Jack to realize how important he is (I know, I know, gag me). On the wheel in the lighthouse 108 corresponds to the name Wallace, wonder who that is? I was laughing when Jacob told Hurley that sometimes he couldn't directly tell people what to do, couldn't just jump in the back of their cab and issue instructions. For me, flash sideways Jack is much more palatable than brooding Island Jack who only seems to crack a smile when he spots Kate by the river.

Which brings us to Jungle Claire. Talk about creepy and I was never much of a Claire fan to begin with. Now we know why Rosseau was the way she was. I mean with people with Claire's sickness running around the jungle can anyone blame the Frenchwoman? (I also loved how Claire told Jin the thing you really have to worry about in that jungle is infection). I'm really, really, really looking forward to the Claire-Kate reunion. Should be hugs and kisses all around. And that last moment when Claire introduced her "friend" to Jin--major creepage. I've said it before and I'll say it again, one of the big questions I want answered is what the deal is with Aaron. I need the issues brought up by the psychic in "Raised by Another" addressed and soon!
