The day that Charlie rescued Nadia (thanks for pointing that out, btw, Marisol!), was the same day that Desmond talked to Penelope's dad to ask for her hand in marriage, got owned, and stormed out to find Charlie playing "Wonderwall". I was waiting for him to storm by during that scene, but nope.
I did note that Jack looked older. And he has a tiny little tire around his gut, but it's all good. He's still hot. Hahaha.
Oh, and obviously Ben isn't as scared of Jacob as he made himself out to be to Locke. I think the original Others (the natives, with Alpert) really respect/fear Jacob (thus Alperts disheveled appearance when Ben first meets him as a boy, since Jacob abhors techn.), but Ben has done something to Jacob and is leading the Others through lies. And Alpert knows something is off, and is helping Locke to help Jacob...
I'm excited about the new characters in the underwater hatch - if, according to Juliet, no one has been down there...
Next week, Jack tells someone he loves them - Kate or Juliet? Prolly Kate, eh?
