Goofs

Hurley claims that Luke overreacted when he found out Darth Vader was his father and got his hand chopped off. If he had really seen "The Empire Strikes Back" 200 times he would know that it is only *after* Vader cuts off Luke's hand does he reveal that he is his father.

Quotes

Miles Straume: [referring to Hugo's movie script] What the hell is this?
Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: I'm writing "Empire Strikes Back."
Miles Straume: Uh, I'm sorry. What?
Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: It's 1977, right? So "Star Wars" just came out. And pretty soon, George Lucas is gonna look for a sequel. I've seen "Empire" 200 times, so I figured I'd made life easier and send him the script... with a couple improvements.

No action=disappointing

I was sure Lost was going to be better and better but this episode is really disappointing.Why? First of all nothing special really happens.Don't expect that mysteries will be revealed in this episode cause you'll be very disappointed. But not only no mystery is revealed but there is no action(in fact it's hard for me to complete the 10 lines).It focuses on a character that personally i don't really like and what he discovers about his family is like in a soap movie.In my opinion i don't think that anything that is shown in this episode will really influence the final of this series or this season. Anyway Lost is really one of the best TV series and i hope the next episodes will be better.
