No spoilers. Remember, don't talk about show details until they've aired on the West Coast, and no talk about scenes from upcoming episodes.
Update: My Season Pass post on tonight's episode can be found here.
:-(
I'll let somebody else talk now.
4 - That was the confusing part. Partly because I wasn't sure if there was one or two slots left on the Oceanic 6.
I wasn't sure if there were zero, one, or two slots left.
Confirmed Oceanic 6

Could Be Oceanic 6
Sayid (is he alive in secret only?)
Aaron (does he count?)
Jin (did he die after the "rescue"?)
Seeing Jin's grave was terribly saddening. I turned to a friend whom with I was watching Lost and said, alluding to Edgar Stiles, "I hope they give Jin a silent clock." And they did! (well, not a clock, but still)
The flash back and forward episode was brilliant. I did not realize Jin was in 2000 even though the clues were there. When the "year of the dragon" was mentioned in the toy store I paid no attention, but I did think to myself, "my, what a large cell phone you have Jin".
Hugo's appearance seemed rather strange to me, and I am assuming the time frame comes before his break down.
Either the writers of this episode need to be slapped. Or I do. Or both.
My first thought at the revelation about Jin's story not being concurrent with Sun's birth story was one of aggravation. Like the writers basically said "Psych!" "Hah hah. Red herring." But with the time shift element now woven in it's hard to tell what they're up to exactly, except we know Jin's dead. (Or... is he!) Sun and her baby made it. And after that it's anyone's guess.
And so Michael's alive, and doesn't remember Sayid at all. (It didn't seem like he was faking it, but maybe he's a good faker.)
All in all I liked how the shipbound storyline unfolded, and had some frustrations with the Jin-Sun flashback/forward track. But I may watch it again.
Tivo also cut off the preview of next week's episode - anything juicy revealed there?
Yeah, and in hindsight it seems out of place he was so intent on getting a panda rather than getting to the hospital in time.
My Season Pass thread is open:

I think Micheal was faking. Did Desmond and Micheal ever meet previous to tonights meeting?
I sensed tension in the Sayid-"Kevin" handshake, but maybe it was just me. It seemed Kevin/Michael's eyes seemed to say "Just stay with me on this one. Don't blow my cover."
18 It really did seem like Desmond had never seen Michael before, but I guess he's a good faker, too. Did their paths definitely cross previously, before Michael left? I think you're right but it feels like ages ago.. .
Cool. I do look forward to the next one.
I think it is very likely they had never met.
I think next week's episode should feature some surprise cameos by characters from The Wire.
He's Perma-back.
The only thing that bothered me this episode was whatever that thing on Juliet's lower lip was. Did she contract herpes on the island? That was gross!
So Ben staged the fake wreckage/body recovery?
My question is where/what/how is Walt if "Kevin" is on the boat?
What do you record on a fake blackbox?
