Reaction Time: "Live Together, Die Alone (Part One)"

THANK GOD this isn't three hours again. Wait, it isn't, right?!

"Live together, die alone." It was noteworthy in Season 1, and it's still noteworthy now. It is the division between the rest of the survivors and Michael. Turning everyone in in return for his son. Grr. The group has seen through Michael's plan, and know they've been set up.

Hey Desmond. You've been MIA for like...the entire season. Nice of you to return with your own flashback episode. AND, with a boat! Alright, I'll forgive you.

LIBBY! I love you - I hate your flashback hair.

Desmond was in prison - did we find out why? We find out the true story of how he wound up on the island, which was in pursuit of getting the woman he loves out of the clutches of his father. And somehow he wound up here, on the island, where he was rescued by Inman. Inman blackmailed Sayid, AND is a DHARMA Initiative employee? This may be one of the more confusing connections we've seen thus far - especially because he was actually ON the island.

The power struggle continues: I said before that Locke and Eko finding the Pearl Station was going to have some deep ramifications on Locke's belief system. Despite Eko's attempts to tell him that they are serving a purpose, John needs to know. He's not willing to just instill faith in this operation any longer when everything is telling him he's wrong. The only way he'll know is if they don't push the buttons.

But this is a two part finale - there's a lot left to find out.
