Okay. Tonight the Others have officially crossed the line from "mysterious and interesting" to "vaguely-defined and annoyingly all-powerful." My faith in the writing staff is breaking up in mid-air. And damn, is it just me or is everyone on the Lostaways' side of the island on st00pid pills this episode?

Also, apparently the "Dharma" in the Dharma initiative is an acronym.

Also, WAKE UP LJ SERVERS DAMMIT.

"Annoying all-powerful"? It's been well-determined at this point that the Others are sneaky, hard to track and move quietly. Those are pretty awesome powers for a jungls, yeah, but given what happened tonight I don't see said goings-on as any major expansion of what we already knew they could do.

I originally thought Locke was annoyingly all-powerful in his super-l33t tracking skillz, but that became pretty acceptable once the level of challenges the Lostaways were up against became clear. Powerful is okay. Powerful beyond plausibility...bothers me.

I think my main problem with tonight is that it sets the bar so damn high that I can't see the Lostaways being anything resembling a threat to the Others. Unless there's something ferretted away in the bowels of the Initiative that can turn the tide, or there's another significant shift in the status quo, the Lost Army as lead by Drill Sargeant Ana-L will be gutted and strung from trees the first time they step off the beach.

The others are REALLY the gods of Olympus in human form torturing the Lostaways!!!
