Goofs:

Crew or equipment visible: When the detective tells Hurley that he can put him in the nut house, Hurley respond by hugging him. Over the detective's right shoulder, during the over the shoulder shot of Hurley, you can clearly see the left hand of the camera operator, and most of the lens.

Quotes:

Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: Did I ever tell you I won the lottery? I got, like, $150 million. Worst thing that ever happened to me.
Bernard Nadler: Oh, yeah, who needs $150 million, right?
Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: Now it'll all be gone, cause they all think I'm dead. When we get rescued, and I go back... I'm gonna be free.

Absolutely BRILLIANT

well this was great. it never had the shocker at the start like season 2 and 3, but i still think that start was great and baffling.

and i didn't like the start episodes as of season 2 and 3 as much as this, nothing happened in them apart from the shocks.

this had great confrontation, emotion, story.

and whoever said Smallville makes good television, HA, don't make me laugh. They aren't going to answer all the series question in the opening episode of season 4.

I cant believe Locke tried to kill Jack as well, i like Locke more than Jack and Locke wouldn't have done that
