We still didn't get the part of the backstory that landed him on Korean tv, though we now know exactly what it was that made him famous. It seems curious that nobody seems to have known who he was.
I love the way this series takes new revelations and uses them to put a new spin on previous situations. Hurley owes Walt $83,000 for backgammon losses. Before this flashback, the joke was that it's just paper losses, a way of keeping score because money is irrelevant on the island. Now we find out it'd be pocket change, but it's still irrelevant, because money doesn't matter on the island. Nice.
