S5: Jughead

It's the year 1954.  A group of people living on an island kill 18 US Military troops who would not leave when given the choice.  The military's purpose was to do some H-bomb testing.  Unfortunately, the bomb was compromised.  A group of scientists happen upon this situation and tell the people to bury the bomb and everything will be fine.  Wait a minute?  Is this Lost?  Well it is, thankfully.  The group of people are the Others and the scientists are Daniel, Charlotte and Miles who time traveled to that year.  Elsewhere on the island, Locke, Sawyer and Juliet follow a young Charles Widmore back to the Others' camp.  During Locke and Richard Alpert's conversation, the sky flashes and they jump through time again.  Really great stuff happening on the island.  Very enjoyable to watch.

Off island, Desmond is on trying to find Daniel's mother.  He doesn't find her at Oxford, but clues take him to a comatose girl with a conscience that appears to be traveling through time, and eventually to Charles Widmore who tells him that Daniel's mother is in LA.  So I have a feeling that Desmond is going to be seeing his old friends very soon.  The off island stuff was cool, since it's always great to see Desmond, but the on island stuff was the great part of this episode.  Lot of great story, questions being answered, events that haven't happened being set up for the future and some really funny Sawyer lines.
