Moments/Quotes/Notes:

• “Who the hell’s Nikki?” (lol, no kidding)
• Art sighting (In one piece)
• She’s the “pen girl” that Boone stopped
• Paolo (Wolfgang Puck of Brazil LOL) I almost didn’t recognize him without the facial hair
• Boone and Shannon sighting! (Foreshadowing, no?)
• Promise me we’ll never end up like them.
• “Why are his pants undone? And why is his shoe in that tree?”
• “That’s evidence! You’re messing up the crime scene!”; “Crime scene? Is there a forensics hatch I don’t know about?”
• Contact with Ethan… he must be making the list
• 20 new different species?
• Drug plane sighting… and they found the hatch on their own
• “It was like Baywatch only better”
• “The Cobra was this big bad guy whose identity has been shrouded in mystery for four seasons”
• Bag = $8M
• “Things don’t stay buried on this island” (even if they’re dead?)
• Ben and Juliet sighting at the pearl station (didn’t that answer a lot of questions?)
• “I find out what he’s emotionally invested in… and I exploit it.”
• “This place gives me the creeps”
• “No offense dude, but as far as superpowers go, yours are kind of lame.”
• Charlie comes clean with Sun
• Replay of the bathroom scene at the pearl station
• “And who the hell are you?” (The 2nd time)
• Do they have internet with wikipedia on the island or did Nikki know a lot about the spider’s paralytic qualities?

I was thinking they had “good color” when they were laying in the pit and wouldn’t it suck if they weren’t really dead. Then when Sawyer scattered the diamonds over them, I knew there must be a way they weren’t… (and hence the reason she buried the diamonds)

Cool things:
I liked that the writing tied in so many events/places/previous scenes into this week’s episode. Jack’s Live together/Die alone speech, Boone asking for the pen, the trip to the pearl, the lagoon, the bathroom scene at the pearl station, etc. Now I realize why those moments were written in and shown earlier.

Motifs:
Poison
Guns

Answers:
Ben knew of Jack’s profession/capabilities; everything revolves around his plan.
The Others did use the Pearl station to watch the Losties.
We know who the heck Nikki and Paulo are and why they were on their own so much.

Thoughts/Questions:
So, if there are venomous spiders in our LOST jungle, why is this the first someone has gotten bitten?
Why did they also want Kate and Sawyer? It sounded like they wanted them before they had decided to grab Jack.
