Poor episode was poor. I feel absolutely no emotional concern for Michael, and frankly, I was disappointed that the gun jammed. So a Michael episode wasn't great, doubly so because they broke from the normal still-kinda-cool flashback formula (Which they twisted so brilliantly in Ji Yeon) to just give us an episode about a character I frankly don't give a crap about.
I also disliked the episode's failure to show anything at all about Michael and Walt actually getting off the island. I mean come on, did they just boat across the Pacific for six weeks until they pulled none the worse for wear in San Diego? Did the Others get them most of the way after all? If someone else rescued them, what was their story? I can understand Michael might want to keep the island quiet because if people go the world could find out about his murders, but even so... too big a gap.
The only real point of interest is that the island won't let people die unless it wants to. Problem is that this is so utterly ridiculous that it strains my imagination far more than anything else the show has thrown at me, and I'm pretty much already far beyond suspending disbelief, but this was just... ugh.
And the final nail in the coffin, Rousseau's apparent death. Karl I didn't care much about, he was always a bit player. Rousseau was another matter. I was always under the impression that we might see, you know, some development there, but they just upped and killed her
