This was probably the best episode of the season so far as we've finally set up the two sections of the plane coming together.
Yeah I got a bit misty eyed during them being reunited. Part of me, though, was just waiting for Bernard to come back, asking for Rose. Charlie or someone pointing to Rose and Bernard going "..Thats not my wife" only for Rose to be revealed as an other or pull a gun out or something. I like how it ended though.
Oh and also for all those people who are "sick and tired of the flashbacks" need to realise that thats one of the main things that set this show apart in the begining. Getting rid of them makes the show less interesting and unique. Sure some of the backstories are boring (and I hate Ana Lucia even more now) but its a great way to deal with the way characters have developed and why they are in the situations they are in now.
Plus, from a writer/producer point of view. If you are pretty much half and half between current events and flashbacks, it means you can make current events last longer, which means more episodes/more seasons/more money. We'll probably know everything about the island by season 4. If your getting all pissy about knowing nothing now, just put the show to the back of your head, wait about 3 years and buy all the seasons on dvd so you can watch them all together and not get fustrated having to wait every week.
Oh and about the whispers I posted about 2 pages back:
