"Jughead" is yet another fine addition to season 5, which is shaping up to be the show's best offering.
The island portion of the episode was exciting as ever - a very well directed episode that has some delicious twists. I loved seeing the others - in 1954 - and the introduction of the H-Bomb was very efficient too - yet another mystery to be solved. But hey; Lost is all about mysteries. I love stories driven by questions. The H-Bomb (Jughead) seems like a critical plot point that will be brought up sometime later. Another interesting development was finding out that Charles Widmore was indeed on the island before - a very surprising and sudden reveal. Well done.
This episode instead of focusing on the Oceanic Six focused on Desmond - this was the weaker part of the episode, as most of the Desmond plot was about him running around in Oxford. While I enjoyed seeing Penny give birth to Charlie(great homage to Charlie Pace!) and I liked Desmond confronting Charles Widmore, the rest was passable.
The cliffhanger was rather weak, seeing Charlotte pass out felt a little forced, but regardless, the episode was very satisfying. We learned about the others, Widmore, Dan's "other" side(experimenting with humans) and I enjoyed the little romance between Dan and Charlotte.
8/10
