I thought it was great. Got in JUST in time to watch it.
I sort of spoiled the plot for my Dad though by figuring out that "Dave" had "something" about him.

That was probably one of the best episodes of Lost i've seen

I figured out that Dave was imaginary when they were all playing basketball at the beginning and nobody passed to him, kind of obvious really. I really like the new theory of it all taking place in Hurley's head, if its true its a total rip off of the film "Identity", but its definitley one of the better theory's (i prefer that to them all being in purgatory). I noticed that the number of people on the thing that collapsed under Hurley's weight was '23' which is one of the hatch numbers. Overall it was a great episode, hope it keeps this up until the end of the season in a few weeks.

i noticed that, too. ah, great minds think alike

i love the idea of it being a fantasy of hurleys, it wud explain the hatch numbers etc, as "Dave" said. but hmmm........i dno. what about........ah, god, forgotten her name.....the blonde frm the other side of the island who he likes. how does her being in the mental hospital fit in? i mean, it seems they didnt know each other in the hospital, with her sitting on her own in that last shot, and hurley only had a vague memory of her ("don't i know you from somewhere?"), so how did they end up on a plane 2gether? if it was just a fantasy, and he'd bin in the hospital BEFORE he'd started "dreaming", then wouldnt she play a more minor part in his fantasy, if they didnt know each other? just wondering...........
