Segment Ratings for "Something Nice Back Home"

I must admit, I didn't have high hopes for "Something Nice Back Home". First of all, it was a Jack-centric episode, which are hit or miss (usually miss for me). Secondly, it was following a fairly action and mythology packed episode, "The Shape of Things to Come". A recurring pattern in LOST is that these intense episodes are often followed by slower character-driven episodes - which I do think are important to balance out the series, but they usually are not my favorite episodes. Let's examine how SWLS users scored the segments of "Something Nice Back Home". Details after the jump.

The episode started and ended with average segment ratings, moving up only slightly in the segments in between. That is somewhat unusual in segment ratings we've seen thus far, which seem to have either more variance, or a more contrasted change between the first and last segments. Jack's visit with Hurley was featured in the highest rated segment of this episode. Christian's visit with Claire on the island featured in the second highest rated segment, segment 5. Overall, it looks like an average episode, not the worst rated, but not nearly as high as some of the better episodes this season. To be fair, I think this is probably what this episode needed to do, and perhaps sets up this week's Locke-centric offering.
