Great episode! 4/5
Even though I thought that Sayid, Locke, Kate and Danielle would've gotten a lot further than they did, I still think their half of the episode was really cool. The eye patch guy dying when Locke through him in the path of the sonic waves or whatever...awesome! Although I liked the eye patch guy as a character, what better way to test what would happen to them if they went through it! Plus they didn't need him for directions anymore, and I can't see the others trading him for Jack at all, so I guess we can say that the island demanded that he die
Loved Claire's flashbacks, although the big surprise didn't hit me like it should've before the...um...spoilers! ^_^ I still needed to know HOW they were going to let the audience know the secret, so that kept me interested.
Claire loves her seagulls...and her nature programs! The segment with the rest of the 815ers was interesting, but I just found myself wanting to get back to the other story, because I'm so invested in it. I care about Claire and her seagulls, and I hope that someone finds that wonderfully epic story she wrote
, but I just didn't love this part as much as the other one.
Still loved the episode though, and next week looks amazing!
