I have a few things I have a difficult time believing, but it doesn't keep me from enjoying it.
Everyone seems too fit and hale, no one is sick, or losing weight, and the women's make-up is damn near impeccable. But I still watch it because I want to know WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!

The women wear make-up?

Well, they look too perfect, especially Claire. Sawyer should have given Hurley that Clonazepam...I think I need some now myself. What the hell is going on?

i've been annoyed by lack of continuity with some things this season (Sawyer going back to jerk, then immediately back to people playing cards with him for no reason for example) but last night's episode was the first episode I've just been flat out disappointed with.
It had such a promising beginning and then became very predictable and cliche. I hear that the whole concept was ripped off from an episode of Buffy, which I'm sure was ripped off of something else.

Yeah, the continuity, or lack thereof, leaves something to be desired. I like the Henry Gale character, he is creeeepy. I think he is still lying, though, about everything. But if this show turns out with some lame concept such as "it was all a dream," I'm sending the writers and network a box of moldy cat poop.

The producers of the show have been saying since last year that the losties are definitely not dead, not in purgatory, and it's not any sort of dream or hallucination.
So unless they're lying out right, we should be okay. I'm starting to wonder, though, if there is some sort of serious pyschic manipulation going on . I read a thread at the fuselage where someone was discussing how some of the characters seem to have been manipulated through hallucinations emphasizing several similarities between, especially, Jack and Hurley (both hallucinations nearly led them off cliffs)
These are the kinds of things I hope are explored more and just random repetition.

But if this show turns out with some lame concept such as "it was all a dream," I'm sending the writers and network a box of moldy cat poop. They've gone on record that it isn't just in someone's head (a la "St. Elsewhere"). I think part of last night's ep was to put that possibility to death. I liked it. It didn't advance the plot on the island as much as I'd like, but it told us why Hurley was in the hospital, it told us how he knows Libby, and it gave him some more complexity than just comic relief. His story arc is starting to mirror Charlie's a little bit. Not-Henry is definitely an other. But I don't think he got caught on purpose. He seems to be much more afraid of "Him" and the others than he is of Sayid and the Losties.

And not a very satisfying one at that, either. Now two weeks without a new episode. This is why I try not to ever follow tv shows. stoopid tv

At least Michael's back, and looking particularly awesome in the previews...

No new episode this week (or even a rerun).
Instead, Alias is back in a 2-hour episode from 8 to 10pm (EDT).

Rumors about that 2 people will die before the end of the season.
My money is on Charlie and Ana-Lucia.

If we're lucky, it'll be Sawyer. He couldn't act his way out of a paper bag.
