Waves,
I have recently watched these two episodes and tried to make some notes of the visuals and sounds.
Tonight is the short version:
Season 3 Episode 8 "Flashes Before Your Eyes"
In the pub we hear Cass Elliot's Make Your Own Kind of Music (in earlier episodes as well)
One of my favorite tv episodes ever -- not just on Lost.
Desmond is time traveling.
Desmond loves Penelope.
Penny loves Desmond.
Charlie is concerned about Desmond's ability to see his death.
We can refer to the Beatles here even if the produces did not use the song.

the beatles-ob-la-di, ob-la-da lyrics
Quote:
Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on brah
La la how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on brah
La la how the life goes on

In a pod cast the producers said Desmond traveled from 2004 to 1996.
================
Season 3 Episode 9 "Stranger in a Strange Land"
ACK! Major Yuck. This is the worst episode of Lost.
You do not have to take my word for it. After this episode, the producers rethought the whole show and decided to set an end date --- to start writing toward the finale:

"Stranger in a Strange Land" is almost universally considered among Lost fans as the worst episode of the show, and was even recognized as such by show runner Damon Lindelof in an interview.[17] It was part of the inspiration to set an end date for the series after season 6.[18]

If fans did not already hate Jack, they did after that episode.
Jack is in the cages.
Sometimes Juliet and Jack smile at each other. He wants the same goal as she -- to get off the island (s) but he seems a little protective of her.
The "sheriff" has a low slow voice. I like her somehow.
I like the canoe banter with Sawyer and Kate. Sawyer talks to Karl. Karl takes off later.
The episode ended with light: --
Sawyer and Kat carrying torches in the woods
Karl with his fire watching stars
Alex watching stars
Juliet and Jack looking to the night stars.
That was a good ending.
I will get to your other comments and issues next time.
