Well, last weeks episode was more like a bad episode of  ER (sans Carter) than anything else.  And yes, like ER today, it was lame-ass.  We got to see sharp instruments, some fake blood, and a lot of squirming…  A la Fight Club: “I am Jack’s Appendix, I burst, I kill Jack.”  Well Jack can’t die… ‘ cause he is in the flash-forwards.  In this episode, there was a teary-eyed lookin’ Juliet trying to remember how to do the simple appendectomy and, of course, our hero who-knows-no-pain Jack that wants to be awake during the surgery while Kate holds a mirror so he can “supervise,” what a micro-manager!!!  Just let Juliet do the surgery she is a damn doctor!!

Well, the rest of the episode was a flash-forward of Jack and Kate’s perfect life far away from the hell-island and well it all turns to crap when Kate has to do something-something for Sawyer and Jack’s jealousy and the ghost of his dead father creep in. 

In the end, we got to know why Aaron was without-mother and was illegally adopted by Kate and how Jack’s Dad’s Ghost sure gets around.  He must have a lot of frequent flier miles…
