Desmond! It is about time he showed back up! According to Daniel Farday, the rules of the island do not apply to Desmond, therefore he is Widmore's secret weapon. Is Desmond the one man that can kill Smokey? If he cannot kill Smokey, what is Widmore expecting him to do? Is Desmond "special" because he is the one person on the island that was not brought to the island by Jacob?
Why is it that only Benjamin Linus can actually kill Keamy? Does surviving Sayid's gunshot quality him for contention in the the Mikhal super survivor of near death experiences award? It is fairly interesting that in this version of events Mikhal and Keamy play for the same team. In a character first, Martin Keamy seemed almost likable for a minute. It was the minute after he finished tying up Jin, which was also the minute before he started making eggs, that ultimately led to his not quite mortal wound.
Jin and Sun are secret lovers in the flash sideways. While they are drawn to each other in both versions of reality, it is only through Jacob's interventions that they can be publicly married. Call me crazy, but theirs is the first case that seems to show the flash sideways versions of their lives as less desirable than the 815 crash versions.
On island, Sayid has become a catatonic psychopath with a penchant for night swimming. We were teased again with people and guns on the outrigger; who shot at our time traveling LaFluer led crew? Sawyer hilariously commented on the ridiculousness of the rules Smokey must follow within minutes of Sun bumping her head and forgetting English.
Why did I love every minute of this episode? Upon reflecting the plot seems like something out of a sixth graders off topic standardized test essay yet I believed every scene and cannot wait until the next episode.
Charles Widmore is actually fighting the good fight. Ben was wrong when he led his "others" coup d'etat and was even more wrong in believing that Widmore wanted to kill every living thing on the island. Unless in an effort to keep Smokey corked up Widmore thought the most efficient course of action would be to kill everyone. Smokey does seem to need the candidates and I think the "rules" that did not allow him to kill Jacob apply to them as well. That or he really does need the to let him off the island.
Widmore believes that a real world with Smokey in it would mean death for Penelope and many others. What is UnLocke? Whatever he is, I do not think he is the devil as explained in the bible. The ruins on the island lead me to believe he is much older than that.
Jack is on his path. He does not know exactly where it is going at this point, but he has surrounded himself with a good group of people who may shepherd him along.
On a side note, Frank and Miles' argument over which was more crazy, Sun's inability to speak English or Miles' ability to speak to the dead was a great moment.
Did anyone else get a kick out of Zoe scolding Widmore about expecting her, a geophysicist, to do a mercenaries job? Why is Widmore interested in pockets of energy on the island? How will they play into his end game?

i personally liked that mikhal got shot in the eye, hence the eye patch haha also, was room 23 the room carl was in?
I loved the symmetry of Mikhal getting shot in the eye as well! Room 23 was in fact Carl's brainwashing room. "Jacob loves you as God loves you" was flashing on the screen.
