Hi Soccerfreak, welcome. Tonights show was quite a mixed bag and had more religious and supernatural overtures then we have seen in this season so far. Last season, I think it was the episode where Charlie was trying to baptize Claire's baby that was the most slanted that way. I am with you in being more inclined to find more sci-fi types of storylines believable than the supernatural/religious stuff.
I am hoping that things are going to come full circle, tonights episode did cause me a little more confusion. I guess I will have to watch it some more and read what the people on this board have picked up that I might have missed.
