So, apparently, there's this woman on this island named Claire. She has an exotic accent. And a baby, four of five weeks old, who looks like he's been kicking around for at least four months. And she isn't afraid to yell when this baby is trying to sleep. And she has found some stylish outfits (circa 2006) in some 2004 sets of luggage. And her flashback confirmed one of those conspiracy theories that people have been buzzing about since at least last fall.

Quibbles aside, I was satisfied with last night's episode of "Lost:" some answers, some questions, some entertainment. It's good that the writers haven't completely forgotten about the original cast; good that Sayid remains a player; good that Kate has shaken off that damsel-in-distress thing. I liked the hint of Jack with Stockholm Syndrome at the end, even if it made no sense whatsoever. And while I've been saying, for months, that it's time for the show to drop the flashbacks already, this one gave us a couple of pieces of intel we didn't already know. Such as the fact that Claire went through a Goth phase.
