[Thee Alex]

OK, episode 8 -

Spoiler: Most of the episode flashing back to what happened between Season 2 and 4 for Michael, including the encounter with Tom in Manhattan, was really well handled - it filled in a lot of blanks. Sayid handing Michael over to the Captain of the freighter was a surprise, you'd think Sayid (of all people) would understand that sometimes you have to do the unthinkable to save loved ones....unless, of course, Sayid has an ulterior motive.... Finally, Rousseau and Kevin being killed - who shot them? And is Alex going to be shot next?? So much crammed into it that I was really disappointed when it ended, I felt like we'd only just started to get into what was going on....now we have to wait til the end of April for the next episode! ps. Apparently the 'Next time on Lost' bit shown in the US revealed that Aaron IS one of the Oceanic Six - so we have Hurley, Sun, Jack, Aaron, Kate, and Sayid. I'm guessing Sayid will remain on the boat (what will happen to Desmond?) until the end of the season, and that the remaining Losties will be helicoptered off....with something happening meaning they have to tell the huge lie about what happened.
