LOST Season two, Episode fifteen "Maternity Leave" achieved a level of satisfaction, in my opinion, that is rare even for "LOST". The uninitiated would no doubt be completely clueless to the delectible contents of this episode. "LOST" die-hards are, likely, salivating at the perfect balance of revelation and the deepening of the "LOST" mysteries. There were as many subtle "blink-or-you'll-miss-them" ticklers as there were stark truths.

The one thing I was waiting to see was how much -- if any -- new Ethan footage we would have; I'm happy to report that William Mapother's inconic "LOST" contribution figured quite prominently indeed, in many surprising ways.

We learned a little bit about Dharma, a lot about the "others" (those rags are costumes, and that aint Zeke's real beard.) In fact, there is a major player amongst the others who we have yet to meet. Possibly.

The reappearance of Desmond's mystery medicine, and the affirmation of it's purpose as a "vaccine", raises new questions about just how involved the mysterious Scot was with the Dharma boys and girls.
