So previews said last night's episode would "solve 3 of the biggest mysteries" of Lost.
Did I miss something?
Or were the 3 big mysteries:
A: Are the children the others took still alive? (The only legit answer last night)
2: What do Jack's tattoos mean?
Thirdly: Can Sawyer sing like Captain Quint?
I laid awake last night wondering what the 3 big mysteries were that were solved, too.
I'm sorry, but the meaning of Jack's tattoos is not in my top 3, that's just nuts. Maybe we were curious as to what they meant, but I think we all had that solved as soon as we saw the name of the episode in conjunction with the promos that prominently displayed his tatts. Duh.
I guess the kids being alive is one mystery solved, kind of. Not that it doesn't just lead to more questions, but that's the Lost style, so ok.
What's the third one? Jack isn't as smart as either Sawyer or the polar bears, since it doesn't seem like he scored himself a fish biscuit? Ethan was a surgeon before they shot him (like we care)? I guess it was that the Others don't live on Alcatraz, but again, do we really care?
It was an ok episode by me, not great, a little heavy on the Jack close-ups. I agree that it feels like a transition episode, not a ton of content but enough to keep us going until next week.
