that aside, last night's episode was good. this whole season has been really good so far. there seems to be a lot more suspension of belief in terms of the character's justifications. not so much that it doesn't feel par-for-the-course with most of the rest of the show, but it does make you sorta realize how trusting each one of these guys are to constantly just do what the last person told them to do.
still, the bits with that pendulum room and daniel's mom were pretty cool. any guesses as to what happened on the plane? im assuming the plane got them close, and then there was one of those flashes, and then only people who were on the island already were taken through the time warp thing... but i dunno. the camera panned a little too much on that one indian guy who wished jack condolences, so maybe he got there, as well.
