That was definitely a pretty good episode - though I did find it pretty disturbing. No question for me, I find Lost at it's best when it's actually answering some questions.
Locke kicked ass for sure - I will be very disappointed if he kicks the bucket, as I find him integral to the show. Jack, Juliet, and Kate, OTOH, continue to suck. Unlike Locke, I wouldn't mind if all three of them were removed from the show.
The Others/Hostiles continue to prove to me that they are entirely evil (and annoying), and must be eradicated.
Definitely something supernatural going on with the island, as it looks like the dead can communicate here or something - some part of the island's "unusual properties", as said by the dude in the Dharma intro video.
Some weird stuff:
What the heck did the Hostiles use to gas the Dharma people? Extremely virulent stuff, apparently. It also looks like the Hostiles are technologically advanced - gas masks, chemical weapons, and ways to get off the island (it was that original Hostile guy who was in the U.S. recruiting Juliet all those years later...).
Also, it looks like there's funky aging stuff happening on the island.
What the heck is Jacob? And why does he need "help"?
Neat.

Heh. I feel pretty much the opposite. Locke didn't kick ass--he just thought he was kicking some. In the end, he's lying in a pit of corpses with a bullet in his chest because he thought he had the upper hand on Ben and turned his back on him. Dumbass.
Jack--I used to like him a lot. Now he bugs me. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt--to a point--because I don't believe he could've turned into an Other in one week's time. My guess is that he and Juliet have a plan to try to turn the tables on Ben somehow, and the fewer people who know about it the less likely Ben is to catch on.
Juliet--don't particularly like her, but I find her character interesting. She knows Ben better than the Lostaways, so I figure that's why she's being extra sneaky/careful about switching sides and turning against him. She's likely playing a very dangerous game matching wits with Ben, and she seems to know it.
Kate--I don't really get all the Kate hate that's going around. I guess that it's probably because her character's become almost solely the love interest in the triangle with Jack and Sawyer. Part of me cringed when she went to Jack with the secret about Naomi. But you know what? It makes a hell of a lot of sense. Naomi had a tree branch rip through a lung, a Jack's a doctor. I really don't get Sayid putting all his trust in a known Other (Mikhael) with limited medical training over Jack.
Also, kate did something that a lot of the Lostaways were blasted for earlier in the show--she said to hell with keeping secrets from one another. Yeah, her blabbing was probably mostly motivated by wanting to get back into Jack's good graces, but on some levels it just makes good common sense.
Jack's reaction--thanks for telling me that secret, Kate...by the way, Juliet and I have our own secret that we WON'T be telling you--was a real slap in the face to her (or should be). Maybe it'll put some of the old independent fire back into Kate's character if she can move on. I hope so.

okay, so what's the time frame on this show's background? Dharma was set up some time when the earliest PCs were available, so... early 80's? Couldn't have been much before that. And Ben was 10 or so when taken to the island? But the Hostiles have apparently been there for some time.......
They are from the Black Roc.David Howery said:

Maybe they used Dharma equipment smuggled to them by Ben. We've gotten different descriptions of their technical ability (sometimes their equipment seems primitive- the medical stuff Jack saw- sometimes it seems more advanced. Up until now, they seem to be using Dharma stuff as well- living in their houses, island, etc.)

When we first saw the pit, and Ben talked about how he dumped the bodies there, I said to my friend, "Don't turn your back on him, John, or else he's gonna club you in the head and dump you in there too." Well, I was wrong about the club.

That would be trippy- maybe they are the surviving slaves and/or slavers? Good idea.
