my observations of the night
- most gratifying image of the night:

he'd been an ass since before his wife died and i've been wanting him to get it for a while. Sawyer's no saint, but that guy just sucked and deserved to get shot.
- i think the fetus that juliet saw was her sister's. Ethan was with him later on, and he was seen in a lab coat at the very beginning of the episode
- i think they did a great job of bringing us back in. definitely had the feel of a season premier or finale.
-I like the ballsier jack. he'd been kinda frustrating to me up to the last few episodes and has really shown a sack since being in captivity.
-I don't think kate's sold on sawyer. i think she is thought she would lose him at the time and that controlled her actions.
-I think that the job Juliet takes and following that part of the back story will answer a lot of questions, which is what they've done a lot of this season. What I hope is that the answered questions don't just lead us to new ones. I think they are bringing this to a close (not this season or the next necessarily), but I do believe they have this all planned out.
