(lurkette and I just caught up on the whole show from the pilot on over the last few weeks. We're ready to be weekly suckers just like the rest of the world now.)
Didn't Desmond say his sailboat was wrecked? Maybe he lied, and the button was all that a was keeping him there... But if so, why come back and save the castaways? He needs them to keep pushing the button. And why take a month to come back?
This episode did a lot to explain Michael's motivation over the last couple episodes. Sayid's right: he's compromised, but after #20, I suspected brainwashing. All that happened is garden-variety extortion.
Also, what about this vaccine? Shooting a load of it was the first thing we saw Desmond do in the Season 2 opener. Is it really a vaccine? Is it some sort of Dharma Initiative Mind Control Juice?
Incidentally, I read yesterday that in the coming season they're not going to do reruns and clip shows. Like with 24, every episode will be a new one--and during the winter rerun period, Lost will go off the air.
