I actually really liked this episode.
I liked how the flashback of the episode was back to a time on the island, instead of back to something before the crash. A fresh idea there. And they made good use of Claire's amnesia... instead of just writing it off, they came back and did something interesting with it.
And I thought the theatrical materials/clothing was a great twist. So being the "others" is all just an act? Didn't see that coming. At first I assumed they exiled themselves from the compound (who knows why), forcing them to live in the jungle, which would explain their appearance. But now we see they're dressing themselves up like that intentionally... so were they really forced to leave that facility? Or did they leave it behind for it to be found?
And the guy that Ethan was talking to outside of Claire's room: was that Zeke sans beard?
My biggest dislike was the very end, with the guy they have imprisoned in the hatch pissing Locke off. It made no sense. What he said to Locke didn't apply to anything, then Locke overreacts.... I didn't follow it.
