Not sure why folks think we didn't learn anything this episode...I thought we learned a great deal. It may be anticlimactic for some, since much of the info revealed in this episode was stuff we'd guessed or surmised...but a lot of data was put-out there this time out.

The Swan is possibly powered by geo-thermal energy; but whatever the center source was, it requires heavy, heavy shielding. This shows a huge amount of work unneccesary for the bunker to be a simple sociological test.

There were 23 survivors from the tail section, but clearly their numbers are fewer, now. It's clear now that Michelle Rodriguez's character is the leader...but what is unclear is what happened to the other survivors and whether or not she is a strong leader or a dictator. This paints her intial contact with Jack in a different light...a contrast to the conflict that's coming between them, I suspect. Most likely I suspect that their mistrust comes from an encounter with Ethan's Others...an encounter that proved deadly. Clearly, they have reason to be suspicious of strangers and are in defense mode (traps, cages, fear of nightfall and secret access knocks).

Shannon has, for the first time EVAR, done something positive.

The Survivors have been organizing duties and jobs, like any tribe. While we generally see them idly involved in simple activities, they appear to be settling in for the long-haul.

Rose's husband is alive...and white, obviously to some folks suprise. ;)

Have the tail section survivors encountered the Monster? I'm guessing they probably have, too.

The Bunker supposedly contained three months worth of food and supplies for two men; that implies a lot, if true.

The tail section survivors appear to have found an access tunnel or an entry to a bunker (the arrow?). This confims that there are more facilities on the island, and lends credence to the theory that Rosseau has seen the central facility.

There are now three Dharma symbols; The Swam, The Arrow (?) and the Cross(?). Assuming there is one for each 'button bunker', is there one for the guessed-at central facility? Is there one for other locations or divisions as yet unknown?

Cluck You. Heh. That was teh funney.

And that tunnel they were in? Was it a railway tunnel? Where does it go? Does it connect to the other five bases on the island? Is the "Security System" running around, down there?
It looks like it's just a utility tunnel leading to the bunker proper. I'll bet that Bunker 3 is set up the same way.

Do you think they haven't managed to get in? They sure weren't listening to Mama Cass while riding the exercise-bike.

Side note: all the easter eggs in the show just make me giddy. I hadn't even realized that Hurley's boss and Locke's boss were the same until someone pointed it out. The six-degrees-of-sepearation principle is running wild on this show. :)

I missed the cross where was that one found?
 


Random thoughts:

Was the blonde woman with the tail group the same as the one in the picture with Desmond, I think so, which makes me wonder if she is not an infiltrator, much like Ethan was, mmmmm. We don't know her relationship to anyone!
 

Another interesting episode. There was one thing that I caught that I haven't seen mentioned here but I found very compelling.

Hurley is shown to be dozing off at his post where he's supposed to enter the numbers and "push the button". This is quite clearly the "job" that he's been assigned for the moment (until they put him in charge of the food).

Shortly thereafter they show the flashback of him finally getting up the nerve to ask out the girl in the music store. He tells her that he quit his job and she comments back something like, "Hugo, you're my rock. If you quit your job, next thing you know the bees will stop making honey, flowers will die and the whole damn thing will fall apart." Hmmmm.

Also in that scene, his buddy is going on about how Hurley is "off the rails" and "somebody get this man a straightjacket!" Since we know that Hurley has already been in a mental institution prior to that, he's either kept that a secret (very reasonable) or his friend is a bit of an insenstive ass (also reasonable).

I missed the cross too, but if it really is a cross, there's FOUR symbols now.

The shark's-tail logo a few episodes ago had a black circle in the center, with a white line bisecting it.

Yup, that was me mis-remembering. I was thinking of the shark logo, and for some reason thought cross. I have no idea why. There is no cross logo...so far. ;)

Hurley probably thinks everyone would think he's crazy, spouting off about the bad luck and evilness of the numbers. He also doesn't want anyone to know he's fabulously wealthy. They might start making The Millionaire jokes or something. Besides, you saw Charlie's reaction.
When Charlie made that crack again last night, I was thinking that I really hope we get to see them get back to civilization just to see the look on Charlie's face when he finds out Hurley really is a multimillionaire.
 

About what Jack and Sayid were doing: I think they're doing just what I would be doing. They're trying to figure out what is going on with the bunker, including what happens if you don't press the button every 108 minutes.
