The only saving grace for that episode were a few lines.....

Sawyer had several, but his reference to Alex as "Sally Slingshot" is one for the ages.

Also, Jack went back to being a little crazy in the episode, and I am a big fan of crazy, loose-cannon Jack. Before he got the tattoo, Bai Ling's character told him there would be consequences, and he replied quickly and bluntly,"There always are."
