Calm down. 7/10 is a good score, especially by my standards.
The problem with this episode is this: It is unoriginal. Now, that isn't a huge problem. There are less than fifty episodes of television that are truly original, and most of them aren't that good. The only flaw this piece of television encountered was a somewhat dismal realism factor. Good news is, most of the rest was just fine.
I had a problem with the idea that a woman like Claire would go to see a psychic, then not believe anything he says, then turn around and believe him again. You either do or you don't with that kind of thing.
The show needs to expand from its "No plot, lots of backstory" theme, and here's why. It is unrealistic that there are so many people on this island and that every single one has a tragic and dark backstory. Is no one just a regular person? Furthermore, I hate to say it, but none of these actors are strong enough to be solely featured for an entire episode.
