While I had previously been down on "Lost" and hoped that its ratings would plummet so that they'd have to end it sooner, I now think that starting with last season's finale "Lost" has reclaimed its place among television's best shows.
This is where you should stop reading if you haven't seen "Eggtown" yet.
In "Eggtown" the writers continue their excellent use of the flash forwards to reveal subtle but significant hints about the Oceanic 6's rescue from the island.
The story they are trying to tell us is that the 6 (Jack, Kate, Hugo and Sayid so far) did something so terrible to get off the island that they have had to lie about it ever since and at least 2 of them (Jack and Hugo) feel they never should have left.
What I like most about the way they are telling the story is the hints fit within the flow of the episode and they don't bash you over the head with the new information and its importance.
For the first time since the show started I can't wait for a new episode to get another piece of the puzzle explaining the rescue and why it was so bad that Kate had to take Aaron and raise him as her own.
By the way, I did figure out that kid was Aaron a few seconds before it was revealed. We got several clues and as soon as I saw the kid had blond hair I knew it was Aaron. Whatever it was that happened, they spared Aaron? Is he considered one of the Oceanic 6? He was technically on the plane.
