• Mr. Eko — too sud­den, with noth­ing that felt like good, solid clo­sure.  Why did he build the church?  Was he a “bad” man or a “good” man?  He was obvi­ously bad in the past, but it seems like he was mak­ing head­way into being good, yet this cer­tainly came off as a judge­ment.  Why the sud­den demise?  The smoke mon­ster caught up with him before and let him live.  Did he sud­denly do some­thing very bad?  Was it not push­ing the but­ton?  If any­thing, Locke was bad for lock­ing him out of the hatch.
• smoke mon­ster — are there two dif­fer­ent ones or is it the same one with two appear­ances?  The pro­duc­ers have said it is absolutely NOT nanobots, so unless it’s magic (like wiz­ards) or magic (like smoke and mir­rors), then I’m stumped.
• The two new char­ac­ters — can they POSSIBLY be any MORE awkward?
• “Hey, what could these other TVs be hooked up to?” “OMGWTFSTFU, why didn’t we think of that?” — Pag­ing Cap­tain Obvi­ous.  Cap­tain Obvi­ous to the Perl sta­tion, please.
• The x-ray — hon­estly, I wasn’t expect­ing to hear more about this for a few more episodes, so it was nice to have it pulled back into the plot.  But if the island has some kind of heal­ing power (e.g. Locke’s legs, Rose’s can­cer), then why doesn’t it work on Ben?  Or is this a con within a con?
• Juliet & the video tape — very sneaky, very cool.
• Eye patch guy — creepy!
• “I guess he’ll be expect­ing us” — LOLlerskates

P.S. I think I would have been hap­pier if the polar bear would have chomped him instead of the lame, con­vo­luted “con­clu­sion” we actu­ally got.
