This episode didn't have a lot of 'oomph' for me, but we got some more back story (of course). This episode focused on Claire's and a big 'reveal' that pretty much everyone has overheard was coming, so it wasn't that big of a shock as it should be. I wish people would keep spoilers to themselves! Discuss your thoughts in the Comments section.

It's Claire's day on Flashback Island and boy is it a doozy! Not only do we find out that she put her mother in a coma and that she is Jack's half-sister (oh Jesus, no!), but we find out that she had BLACK HAIR. Oh my god! How did she ever get the dye out? The mysteries on this show never end.
Aside from all the shocking revelations, a flock of migratory birds give Claire hopes for rescue. Desmond blunders around some more trying to save Charlie from Certain Doom, not realizing Charlie has figured out that facing Certain Doom is an even bigger turn-on for the chicks then being a washed-up rock star. Chuck, Sawyer could have told you that three weeks ago.
Meanwhile, Kate, Sayid, Locke, and Rousseau continue their trek to rescue Jack at The Barracks. On the way they pepper their Other prisoner with questions, hoping he will forget that he hates them long enough to reveal a few answers. Since the prisoner is not a complete idiot and this show is what it is, most of his answers are more questions, but many of his questions hint at answers, and many of the hints seem to implicate Locke. Wait, I forget what the question was. Whatever it was, it seems that the answer is definitely Locke. If Locke is who he says he is or what he says he's not or doesn't know what they think he knows. Or something like that.
And in case you were wondering how Sawyer would manage to survive an entire week without a single nickname? By burying his head in Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead for the entire episode! What will happen next on this wacky island?
