You saved me from making a post about Lost. Must say I agree about a lot - the baptism was too preachy (ha!) and not religious enough at the same time as I kept wondering to which church Aaron now belongs (Catholic, I assume, by the Virgin Mary statues).
I noticed (the lack of) stubble, too. I must say I probably wouldn't bother with shaving my armpits if I was stranded on a desert island.
I worry about Locke and I worry about a big who gets Aaron fight.
