Alright, I gave it a 9.
The comedy was awesome. Miles actually...*gasp* communicated with people! And not just dead people! Wow, this show is taking a step in the right direction.
Love that tptb let their inner geeks out to play.
I loved the little scenes: Jack and Roger in the classroom, Sawyer coming home to see Jack, Suspicious Phil (omg!), Kate and Roger...this was the first time I felt like every little scene did, actually, have a purpose.
We were given some answers, too: We saw construction at the Orchid and the Swan. How awesome was it that Hurley watches them put the numbers on the hatch door?!
But I rated it so high because of Miles. I just loved his flashbacks. Miles only lashes out because he's hurt, because he's so sensitive (I mean, he still senses people after they're dead). Every time he got weepy, I just starting bawling. I couldn't handle it. And the end...with his dad saying "I need you." Oh! I knew it wasn't a father needing his son, but I was right there with poor Miles.
But also! I loved it for one specific line, that said so much:
JULIET: Well...here we go.
