sky rockets in flight

I bought a bottle of Shiraz in which to indulge tonight because...

a) I just spent two and a half hours at the gym (in which I took a total body conditioning class AND a cross-training cardio class AND ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes -- a bit excessive, I know, I know)

and

b) because "Lost" is on tonight (!) and I'm hoping that the episode will single-handedly make up for the last two weeks of disappointment and lack of plot progression. (Right Deeg?)

Update:

10:24 PM: This episode is f'ing awesome so far. KM argues that it's due to Sayid's presence and I don't discredit that, but I noticed that Damon and Carlton wrote it and I think their writing is the last great hope for the show. (Oh, and though I have grown tired of Sawyer's snarky comments, the whole "Who are you?" to Nikki made me chuckle.)

Update:

11:01 PM: Best episode of this mini-season yet! Did you see the preview for next week? It may be the obvious guess, but my money is on that the "surprising connection" between Losties is that Jack and Claire share a father. (At least, that's what fans have been suggesting on the boards for over a year now...)
