Second, these others seem altogether different than the others we previously encountered. They're a lot more human and a lot "squishier." I can't figure out why we went from "SCARY PEOPLE WHO KIDNAP YOU IN THE NIGHT" to "We're not the enemy, you made us the enemy by killing our own. Calm down and let us help you."

I liked this episode a LOT more than last week's, and was much more what I expect episodes to be like. I also generally think Sun and Jin are awesome, so I'll never complain about episodes that focus on them. Here's looking forward to seeing more.

That's what's so shocking about that scene; there's a video tape on this island of a TV broadcast of an event that made major world news since the crash. According to Jack's understanding of the island, that should be impossible.
