It was nice to see the Hurley and Charlie were both so informed as to the identity of Mikhail. At least we know that the Losties have finally started communicating with each other behind the scenes. Probably not if HUGE significance, but I enjoyed that.

Now the question is...when they get back to camp, will they mention that they ran into him?

YES! My God, yes.

In the last couple episodes we are seeing *communication*!

Charlie was getting in the face of Desmond continually, asking "why" this and "why" that. Why let Mikhail go? Why go get Jack? etc. In the past they'd have just let Mikhail go without questioning it.

Sun got in Juliet's face, "what happens to pregnant women", etc. Again, refreshing!

And, yes, as you say, they had obviously shared details of their earlier encounters with Mikhail and the others.

People are TALKING. They are ASKING QUESTIONS. This is a huge improvement, and is a big reason why the recent episodes are so satisfying lately.

Thanks, TPTB!

OK - but now Jack and Juliette have to tell *every woman* in the beach camp about what can happen should they fall pregnant. It's incredible to me that Jack didn't tell Sun right away - that she only heard it from Juliette after Juliette snuck into Sun's tent and convinced her to go with her to the medical station. What was up with that? If sex really equals death, I would think you would want to *show* everyone getting the word out on that ASAP - don't wait till morning, IOW - for the obvious reason! :eek2:

yeh that was odd for me. Why would Juliette sneak into Sun's tent and do that. All she would have to do is pull her aside some day and say "hey i can help, meet me at such a place tonight...yada yada". I mean why scare the tar out of her in the middle of the night like that.

Additionally I think that this new "sexx education" for the beachies would not be well received from the guys. Imagine the class where the women are told if you sleep with the men, you will die! I am not saying the beachies shouldnt be warned, I am just saying, as a guy, I would be most upset about an island wide man-ban.
