It was nice to have a lighter episode after all the intense episodes we’ve seen for the past few weeks.

The good parts:

• The quest to make the VW run;
• The return of Kate and Sawyer to the fold;
• Finding out Sawyer is a closet Little House on the Prairie fan;
• Kate going to find Danielle and teling her about her daughter.

The not so good part:

• Though I like Cheech Marin, I think he is too well-known to play a character in the Lost universe. It was kind of jarring to see him as Hurley’s father.

This episode didn’t really seem to do much to further the story/mystery. I can’t think of any questions that were answered, other than getting some more information about Hurley’s windfall and the return of Vincent (who looks mighty well-fed to be wandering the island aimlessly ya know?). However, it was good to see the reunion of Kate and Sawyer with the rest of the gang. And it was good to see Kate determined to rescue Jack. It was also good to see Danielle again, and I’m looking forward to how all of that is going to play out.
