Where did Sawyer come up with that hose trick?

Oh, that's classic Sawyer! He's always pulling these garden hose cons that tend to fool easily seducible day players and six-season-long regulars alike.

Which Burt Reynolds movie did Frank Lapidus step out of?

With that devil-may-care insouciance and lush forest of exposed chest hair? No movie at all; rather, Lapidus is the Burt Reynolds Cosmo spread incarnate!

Have you seen...my husband? Is he on...this island?

Just wait until the last act, Sun.

Whose sailboat is that?

Once upon a time, Libby gave it to Desmond for his race around the world. More recently, Sun shot the chick from Deadwood on it.

Is it a good idea to splinter off from your island-trekking group and abandon the crazy blonde with an abandonment complex?

Probably not, as she's prone to follow you and pull a gun on your faction just as you're getting away. Sure, you might be able to guilt her into giving up her rifle in order to get on your boat, but don't be surprised if she mysteriously has it again when you make contact with Widmore!

Who's Jack's ex-babymama?

It could be Juliet, it could be Ana-Lucia, it could be Rousseau, or it could be Vincent; only one thing is for sure, and that is that said mystery ex will keep filling up her day planner until she's called upon to make a cameo in the series finale.

Jack's sideways-son...did his voice break?

Always after that Justin Bieber-chasing demographic, aren't you, Lost? No matter what, #jackskindaaloofbutpossiblereconcilingson is not going to become a trending topic.

What's up with Ilana's accent?

It's like so: execute Zuleikha Robinson's character in a tossed-off joke of a scene that doesn't even merit an act break, and she'll decide, "Hey, I never got my own centric episode. Why should I worry about sounding vaguely Russian anymore?"

Why doesn't Jack wanna leave the island?

They have pills for that. And trust me, Jack's already convinced another doctor to write him a scrip for those.

How terrifying was the threat of Sun, Jin, or both being murdered during their reunion?

Very! From their decision to embrace right in the brain-melting radius of the sonic pylons to their declaration that they'll never be parted, delivered in front of several men with guns for maximum island-baiting irony, it seemed certain that we would cut to the title card with at least one series regular down for the count.

Was Sun's aphasia subplot a plan to poignantly reverse the roles she and Jin played during season one, so that now she would be the one with limited communication skills, and he would have to interpret for her?

Nope.

But why did they even bother with that if--

Look! Explosions!

    The Sun and Jin reunion reminded me of Mad Men when Betty confronted Don re The Shoebox of Mystery and the audience was preoccupied with Miss. Farrell having to hide out in the car all night.

    This episode reminded me of the time Mr T. was at the Mall, the entire day I kept saying I'll go a little later, I;ll go a little later....Then when I finally got to the mall, some guy told me he just left...
