3x1 - "A Tale of Two Cities" Flashbacks

So what new secrets about Jack did we learn this week? Not much I'm sorry to say. The flashbacks were really predictable given what we learned about Jack in the past -he "fixes" things and he has a hard time letting go. So Jack's obsession with finding out who Sarah's new man is led him to tackle his father at an AA meeting (which Sarah probably convinced him to attend). Overall, the flashbacks were sub-par given what I've come to expect from Lost flashbacks, and that says a lot given the fact that this episode marks J.J. Abrams' return to the show.

As for the "Other" flashback (pun intended), now that was creepy. So the Others have their own community and every week they have a book club, Ethan is the local plumber, yet they are all able to hide it all the second a plane crashes. What's up with that? I hope we get a Henry Gale, uh I mean Ben, flashback soon.

UPDATE 10/8 - Now that I think about it, that small town has got to be what the Monster - the "security system that eats people," is meant to protect. How else does one explain the fact that Danielle Rosseau never found it? Answer: every time she got close, she would get chased away.
