I'm back!! After a very busy time and a fantastic vacation it is time to get back to my episode rating reviews. I want to thank Laklost for filling in for me last week and doing two episode reviews. It was fantastic and a hard act to follow. Thank you Laklost, you are the best!!

I was stunned after watching "Some Like it Hoth". Not stunned because it was such a great episode, but stunned that our users liked it so much. They gave it a 8.52 average, which was dragged down some by a two and my 6. I am usually not that far off in opinion from our users. 76% gave this episode a 9 or 10 rating! Follow the break to see some of their comments.

Last week we were all stunned (or perhaps not so stunned) to see Sayid shoot young Ben Linus, thinking that it is his purpose in life to put an end to the horrors that Ben will commit as he grows up. Of course, Sayid didn't stop to think that perhaps this is what always happened, and the reason Ben grew up to be such a jerk was because some crazy Iraqi shot him in the jungle when he was a child. Tonight, in episode 5.11, "Whatever Happened, Happened" we get to see just what young Ben's fate is, and if Daniel was right and whatever happened, happened. Feel free to let us know in the comments what you're hoping for in tonight's episode. Personally, I'm hoping for some Richard Alpert and some Locke (how long has it been since we saw him?). So let us know what you think. Or, discuss tonight's episode in the Hype Thread! For more details and a preview, just turn the page.

"Namaste" and "He's Our You" both delved into the world of the Dharma Initiative circa 1977. We got to see Sawyer, Juliet, Jin, Miles and now Kate, Jack and Hurley become part of the happy island colony. This is what we have been waiting for this entire season. The return to the island and the story of the reunited Losties has been told to us, to very mixed results. The SWLS members rated "Namaste" with a 7.71 rating and a "He's Our You" as a 7.08. These are very low ratings for a Lost episodes. Continue after the break to see what our members had to say about these episodes.

Sun, who is definitely in 2007, was shown a photo tonight by the enigmatic Christian Shepard. The photo was of the 1977 New Recruits at the Dharma Initiative and included Jack, Hurley, and Kate. Next we got to see the actual photo being taken in 1977. When comparing the photo Christian showed Sun to the actual event there appears to be a missing person from the actual 1977 event. Or is there? If you look, there appears to be a missing person on the back row, right side, next to the guy on the very end. In the photo Christian showed there is another man back there. However, on closer inspection it appears that the man may just be very very small. You can see a foot (circled in the image) sticking out at the very bottom of the second image on the next page. Judge for yourself, is this man just hiding, or is there a person missing from the actual event?

Episode 5.8 "LaFleur" marked the half way point of season 5. It was followed by a week off of new shows and it appears that most of the SWLS mods (including me) took some extra time off. But we are starting to wind it back up for the second half of the season. "LaFleur" was considered an average episode by Lost standards. An average rating of 7.89 is low for this season. The episode was enjoyed but not loved by the SWLS members. Follow the link to see what our members thought of this episode.

"The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" showed a some very interesting conversations between Charles Widmore and John Locke. Widmore tells John that "The island needs you John. It has for a long time. John finally asks a key question, "What makes you think that I'm so special?" He gets the very cryptic reply "Because you are". But why is he special. Why is Locke the special chosen leader? What characteristics has John shown during his life to make these powerful people believe he is so special?

Episode 5x06 "316" set a new ratings record with an incredible 9.35 average. SWLS members absolutely loved this episode. 73% of all votes were a perfect 10. 92% of all votes were for scores of 8 or higher. There was a vote one vote each for a rating of 6 or 7. Neither voter posted a reason for those ratings. Viewers want the main characters of Lost to be together and we now have the Oceanic 6 (minus Aaron) back on the island with Sawyer, Jin, Juliet and friends. Watching the Oceanic 6 converge on the same flight with Ben and Frank Lapidus was true television magic. Please go to the next page to see the SWLS users' comments on this outstanding episode.

As the losties began to flash through time on the island, the inevitable question of whether or not they could run into themselves starting popping up everywhere. "The Little Prince" answered that, as Locke caught a far off glimpse of the hatch light they he caused, and Sawyer watched the birth of Aaron take place at near arm's length (where Kate was present). Follow the link below for images, and let us know what implications you think this revelation has in the comments section.

ABC has decided to follow up the preview episode of Season 5 with another new episode. This is not a two hour season premier but separate episode that was originally designed to be shown a week later. This episode is a Hurley centric show that will focus on the Oceanic 6 and the 'lie" they have been telling for the last three years. A sneak peek has already been released by abc. It shows the Oceanic 6 discussing "The Lie" on Penny's boat before they were "rescued". An earlier sneak peek showed Kate being given a court order for a paternity test for Aaron. It appears that forces are working behind the scenes to get the Oceanic 6 back together and to expose the truth.

A sneak peek of season 5 has been released to the members of the newest online game. The sneak peek is focused on Kate and Aaron. In the season 5 promo we see Kate packing and leaving her house with Aaron. In the sneak peek we find out that Kate is served with a search warrant for a sample of her and Aaron's blood. It is not stated who is behind the lawsuit. Of course Kate runs, because she always runs. The sneak peak can be seen here . You need to enter the password qilak. There is also a behind the scene extra from Season 4 DVD and an interview with Rebecca Mader. You can see our discussion in this topic

This week we received a more laid back episode of Lost compared to last week's thrill a minute "The Shape of Things to Come". "Something Nice Back Home" gave us a more personal look at the lives of the Losties and started to set up the season finale. We learned that Jack and Kate did finally end up together. It does not appear that the happiness lasts very long. Kate and Jack episodes usually bring the most varied reactions. This episode was no difference. It was rated from scores of 1 to 10, with 69% giving a rating of 7 or higher with an average of 7.1. Overall it earned a positive rating but SWLS users saw the episode in very different light. We will discuss both positive and negative reactions plus give my review of the episode.

For anyone who is not familiar with the word "Jate" it stands for the relationship between Jack and Kate. A "Jater" is a reference to someone who feels Jack and Kate should be together. A "Skater" would be a fan of the Sawyer/Kate relationship. I am neither a Skater nor a Jater, just for the record. I don't even find the triangle itself to be an interesting storyline. But since "Jate" appears so prominently in "Something Nice Back Home," I gave it some more thought. I have come to the conclusion that Jack and Kate should not be together. At all.

Every time Jack removes clothing, debates begin about his tats. I don't remember seeing the one on his back before, and the one on his inner arm above the "stars" tat doesn't look familiar, but perhaps I've just missed these before. It wouldn't be at of character for Jack to get some fresh tats after returning from the island. What exactly is that on his back though? A "K" and a "8"? K8 = Kate? With some kind of Decepticon symbol. Take a close look and let us know what you think in the comments. View a larger image after the jump.

The audience of Lost has been looking for something since Season One and the night that Claire woke up in the caves screaming that someone was attacking her. We called them the Others because they are mercilessly at cross purposes to our group of Losties from Oceanic 815. We figured that they had a leader and guessed that it was everyone from Tom Friendly to the erstwhile Jacob to enigmatic Richard until we realized by the end of Season Three that it was Ben. Now we seem to be looking for a bad guy -- the person to aim our energy and anger at, the person to defeat in order for our heroes to be free and equal. The advertising trailers for Season Four have suggested that the freighter folks are bringing worse trouble than any we have known on the island thus far. So we've been watching, waiting for a name. Charles Widmore seems now to be on the short list of people to call villain. But I've got news for you. The writers of Lost are screaming at us that there is one villain and his name is Benjamin Linus. No other character in the Lost universe is more of a lying manipulator than he is. No one else has stooped lower to reach his goals. The audience seems prepared to forgive him while they castigate Locke for misguided decisions, Jack for arrogance and Michael for working for personal reasons. I suggest we redirect our judgment where it belongs.

In 4x04, Eggtown, we learned, shockingly, that Kate's baby was actually none other than island born little Aaron. These are some pics of his room, and it appears as any typical little boys room would. We did notice that the image of the bike on the wall appears to have a playing card in the image. Looks like it might be the 7 of spades. This is only a little odd due to the playing cards we also saw Dan and Charlotte using on the beach.

Take a look at the pictures and let us know if you see anything that we didn't.

Last week on Lost we learned that Sayid was one of the Oceanic 6, but since being rescued and returned to normal life, he's taken on quite a new and interesting career choice...as Ben Linus' henchmen, apparently hunting down and killing people who Ben claims are a danger to the others. Whether he meant the other Oceanic 5, the rest of the 815 survivors still on the island, or both is still unknown. Or is Ben, once again, lying and bending the truth in order to meet his own needs? This probably has us all wondering what could possibly have convinced Sayid to trust Ben.

Ratings for last week's episode were down slightly, although it still finished in 4th place for the week with 13.8 million viewers. The episode did air on Valentine's Day, which could have accounted for a loss of some viewers.

The remainder of this article may include some mild spoilers. More after the jump.

Season 4 of LOST finally arrived last Thursday with an excellent premier episode. We discovered that Hurley makes it off the island alive and is one of the "Oceanic 6". But who are the six? It appears that Hurley, Kate and Jack make up three of the six survivors who become celebrities after being rescued and returned to reality. But, why is everything about the island kept secret? And how do they actually get off the island? Do they take the Not-Penny's-Boat? Who is really on that boat? This week, we might get some answers in Episode 2 of Season 4, "Confirmed Dead". The official ABC description states "The survivors begin to question the intentions of their supposed rescuers when four strangers arrive on the island." What a major disappointment it would be to find out your rescuers aren't there to rescue you!

In 3x15, "Left Behind", we get a couple glimpses of some games in the rec room that Kate is being held captive in. One of the games is a thematically relevant "Mouse Trap". This is the second time we've seen this game surface in LOST. As tonysee points out below, we first see "Mouse Trap" in season 1, episode 1x19 to be exact "Deus Ex Machina". In this past episode, Locke is seen demonstrating a game of mouse trap to a young boy. It is actually, according to Locke, his favorite game:

KID: What's that?

LOCKE: A game. It's my favorite game, actually. I used to play it with my brother. It's called Mouse Trap.

KID: How do you play?

LOCKE: Well, you start with all these parts off the board. And then, one by one, you build the trap - shoe, bucket, tub - piece by piece it all comes together. And then you wait 'til your opponent lands here on the old cheese wheel. And then if you set it up just right, you spring the trap. Go ahead, kiddo.

This image actually highlights several interesting Easter Eggs and/or clues, I think.

1) Kevin surprises Kate with plane tickets to Costa Rica, saying that after 6 months, they can finally take that honeymoon they've been putting off. And the airline that would be taking them? You guessed it.

2) Kevin's last name is Callis, written on his name tag.

3) His police patch says that he is with the Miami Police Department. The connection to Florida is that Sawyer also has several flashbacks relating to Florida, most notably Tallahassee and Tampa (A.K.A., the "Tampa Job"). We have not yet seen direct overlap of these flashbacks.

In 3x6, Kate uses a home pregnancy kit and discovers she is not pregnant. You may recall, Sun used a pregnancy kit in Season 2, and found out she was pregnant. The kit was obtained from Sawyer, and Kate somewhat conspicuously commented "Who carries a pregnancy kit on a plane?" Does the kit Sun used belong to Kate? Well, although the packaging is different, and the text is not legible, clearly size and position of the text matches the Widmore kit that Sun used in Season 2. It appears that Kate's kit has text laid out the same way which reads "WIDMORE LABS - HOME PREGNANCY TEST". In addition, the picture of the tester in both packages is the same. However, it was quite some time between leaving Kevin and going to Australia, so if the kit did belong Kate, it would have to be related to a different relationship. Even if the kit doesn't belong to Kate, it is interesting to note nonetheless. The actual tester itself is a different model from the one Sun uses. Of course, Widmore is the company run by Penny Widmore's father - so we can expect to see Widmore come into play more and more as we discover what Penny is up to after having detected the magnetic anomaly at the end of season 2.
