4 stars. It is seriously hard to not give every ep 5 stars. This one, I was really leaning toward it. The feels. I spent half the episode with tears escaping. Charlie saying goodbye without other people realizing that's what he's doing. His ring, left behind in Aaron's crib. His greatest hits list. Naomi telling him that there was a big memorial in his honor and seeing how much that meant to him. The night he first met Claire. Oh man. Did you remember who that lady was he saved in the alleyway? Nadia! Now Charlie and Sayid have a connection! The Others are coming! Holy crap. This is the most intense it's ever gotten with the Others. The survivors have been taking what the Others have been doing to them for the most part, but no more. Ben is starting to get a bit scary. Just take all the women and we'll sort them later. Kill the men that try to get in the way. Wow. I think having started to lose his power and respect status is making him incredibly unbalanced. It's crazy to see the survivors abandoning camp. 90 days they were there. So crazy. They're going further than they ever have before in finding a way off the island and this time, it seems they have a solid plan. A group heading to the radio tower to switch out Danielle's message with their own, Charlie heading to the Looking Glass Station to turn off the jamming equipment, and only three staying behind to fight the Others. Little glitch with Charlie though! There are people down there! Juliet said Ben told everyone there weren't and that the station had been flooded. So obviously, Ben lied and no surprise there. It was probably the only way to stop Juliet or someone else from going down there to shut off the jamming device. Juliet wants off that island just as much as the survivors. So far, we can see that there were two women living down there, manning (or womanning) the station. Who are they? Others? Last of Dharma? Probably not. Why would Dharma jam signals? We saw the blonde one closely but the brunette, not really. You'll get a better look at her next time and see that it's Lana Parilla! Regina from OUaT. Favorite quotes/momentsJack: For 90 days, I've been asked to make decisions for this camp. There you go. I made one. Charlie's Greatest Hits list: CHARLIE: [Holds out the list] I want you to give this to Claire for me. DESMOND: [Takes it] What is it? CHARLIE: It's the five best moments of my... sorry excuse for a life. My greatest hits. You know, memories. They're all I've got.

4 stars from me as well. And I totally agree as for the 5-star-rating, as really almost every episode was to enjoy so far. Poor Charlie... I don't want him to die and again and again, we're getting confronted with it. I feel like this time it will happen though... When Desmond, in the end, told Charlie to stay in the boat and instead he would do it, that really had warmed my heart. I always loved Desmond, but for that, he definitely got some extra points from me. I was not that surprised when Charlie knocked him out with the paddle to get done what was supposed to be his "job". Poor brave Charlie. His greatest hits list really made my eyes fill up with tears. *sobs* Hah, I knew I've seen that woman from the alleyway before!! Thanks to you I do know where from now. Although I got the idea it was Nadia, just not 100 percent sure. Well, it's been a while she had popped up on my screen. Geez, took me way too long to watch from season 1 to the point where we are now. Ben, scary or not, definitely an awesome character! Omg, it was Lana Parilla?? Awesome, I love her in OUAT! Looking forward to getting a better look next time lol.
