Another good episode. We're already halfway done with this story arc!
* This episode was reeeeally good
* That dream/acid trip with Boone and John in the airport was friggin' scary! Really good though.
* Polar beeeeears!
I did have some problems with this episode, though:
1. It was only 40 minutes long instead of the usual 42.
2. Locke's flashback didn't finish!
3. Good Lord, we didn't find out why he was paralyzed!
Locke's backstory just keeps getting more and more bizaare. He goes from working at a toy store to working in a cubicle and his whole deal with his Dad stealing an organ and now we learn that he's worked on some weird drug farm?
I mean. All of the character's stories are kinda out there, but Locke's just keeps getting more and more bizaare everytime he has one. I don't like it. I liked it better when he was just this guy who had big dreams but was hindered by his disability and he worked a normal mundane job.
Also, I had to deal with some roaches during the last few minutes, can anyone explain what Hurley's weird reaction at the end was all about? Did something happen with him and Desmond?
When Hurley ran into Desmond in the jungle, Desmond was (of course) naked and mentioned something about Locke saying that he was going to go save JKS in "his speech". Hurley said that he only said he was going to save Eko, and Desmond was like "uh... okay, I guess." It was pretty easy to tell that by the end of the episode, Locke was going to give a speech where he said he was going to save JKS.
In the final scene Locke gave a speech where he said they were going to save JKS (after fixing Eko), and even Charlie said "now that's a speech". Hurley was flabbergasted (haha, I totally just used that word) that Desmond foretold the future. Apparently the ignition of the hatch gave Desmond the ability to foretell the future.
The last scene also introduced two random people. Paolo and Nikki. It was a bit odd how they suddenly just became a part of the main group.
Oh yeah, I totally lol'd at random redshirts popping into the inner circle of characters. They must've been sooo excited to get some lines.
Well it's nice to see that the writers at least acknowledge that there are more survivors than the main group.

Yeah, Locke's backstory is driving me crazy, but I do like it. I REALLY thought we'd find out why he was paralyzed though. ;__;
Some of the storylines seem to be abandoned and then new ones are added on in the show, even in the flashbacks. This past episode was good, but it seems to me either the writers are stuck with how to advance some of the season 1 threads (such as the monster on the island, the numbers, the Frenchwoman) and adding in more material, or just want to leave things for later. The whole connection of the others having this little isolated town (likely being part of the Dharma Initiative) is rather strange.
IMPORTANT:The biggest thing I noticed was that this past episode one of the others was in Locke's flashback. The main man on the drug farm is the same actor as the Other with the grey hair (who had the fake beard earlier) and origially took Walt in Season 1's finale. This must be deliberate.
EDIT: Damn. They're just look-alikes.

No its not the same actor but they look very much alike and Lost has done this with many different characters.
