Some little nitpicky stuff that people found along the way might be eternally up for discussion. (Which I'm always happy to do!) But if you consider SMOKEY a "major" mystery of LOST, well then...Mike V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07952930766822976058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20542067.post-70236039708580973522014-07-16T11:04:46.091-04:002014-07-16T11:04:46.091-04:00Whew, what an episode!

Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed the episode and have re-entered a phase where I don't ask too many questions and just let the reveals wash all over me and just look forward to learning more.
