"Something Nice Back Home" is not the full-on assault on the senses that "The Shape Of Things To Come" was; in fact, it could almost be considered a "cooling-down" episode. But it's still worth watching and packs quite a bit of information in its 42 minutes. For example, we learn that Charlotte, for some reason, has been hiding the fact that she can speak Korean. We learn that Frank, the pilot, is definitely a good guy, as he saves the lives of Sawyer, Miles, Claire and her baby. Jumping into the future, we learn that Hurley is still having visions (?) of his dead friend Charlie, and Jack's seemingly happy life is just starting to fall apart. And we learn that Sawyer decided to stay back on the island. My only complaint is that the most interesting group of characters at the moment - Ben, Locke and Hurley going to Jacob's cabin - is completely neglected. But hey, that's what the next episode is for! *** out of 4.
