'Greatest Hits' was adequately creepy

I'm gonna have to have therapy to come down from the gloom and doom of the 'Greatest Hits' episode. It's had such a sense of foreboding, gloom and complete sadness... great stuff

I think the show was a perfect set-up for the events to transpire next week. It's nice to get all the technical points out of the way before the "you-know-what" hits the fan.

What I noticed:

• No real mysteries to have to decipher, just straightforward storytelling.
• Rose and Bernard are back... we complain about their disappearance in the podcast and BAM they show up. HMMMM.
• The 'Alice in Wonderland' references are back. The underwater station is the "Looking Glass" with a symbol of a white rabbit in the Dharma logo.
• Another white rabbit (see above)
• Jack looked really old... compare Mr. Fox to season one, he looked 10 years older in 'Greatest Hits'
• Charlie's story was really sad. Made even sadder by the fact that he valued the five BEST moments in his life. When was the last time we saw flashbacks that were uplifting, not depressing?
• Nadia is back AGAIN and she met Charlie.
• Apparently you can create a city-leveling explosion on the island and not many people will notice... this has been proven before.
• In the past Charlie had lied about not being able to swim. Obviously he's a great swimmer. Why lie?
• Thank goodness we've got a whole new crop of characters to deal with in the Looking Glass. I was getting tired of the current 10,000 cast members.

Bring on the final episode!!
