Good episode. Have to feel for poor old Charlie. But here's the thing: obviously we didn't see Desmond's flash of Charlie's impending doom, and we know that the Looking Glass is supposed to be flooded, but it wasn't. Does this already mean that Charlie hasn't done exactly as Desmond's flash saw him do, and, as such, won't die because things didn't play out the way they were supposed to? And why was Desmond suddenly so keen to go down there? Was it just a last minute case of 'do the decent thing' or did his flash tell him something else? Hey, maybe he saw the two gun-wiedling women down there and wanted to... ahem... do the decent thing for them too.
And then there was Charlie's DS ring. I know this is the father coming out in me, but the first thing I thought when I saw that ring in Aaron's cot was how dangerous it could be if the little fella was to put it in his mouth....
Still, parenting quibbles aside, that was another good episode. Nice to see Jack getting angry again and even nicer to see Ben less of his usual cock-sure self. Things are looking good for next week's finale.
