why does everybody seem to think this was a great episode??? no questions were answered at all. we already knew a lot of desmonds backstory - he was in love, his girl friends rich pappa paid him off to end it, she's still looking for him. i don't really care about all the details, even if they were artfully presented. i don't really care all that much how/why he can see the future. what i really want are some f'ing answers. the first two seasons were great, strung us along, introduced the cast, a few tragedies, but now, start telling me what the f* is going on. who are the others? why don't they help the crash victims? why are they so violent? why do they do all the wierd ****** to the crash victims once they capture them? and what the f* is that grey smoke on the island? i agree with the previous poster who said the first two seasons were the best. if they don't start answering some questions soon i'm going to start wasting my time elsewhere.
