Uh, yeah, that pretty much sums up my feelings on the episode. I really hope that's not the last we see of the Freighter Folk. Here's hoping the island moved them and the people in the raft when it moved and they're safely....somewhere. It was great to see Walt again and they handled it surprisingly tactfully. I was worried his re-introduction would feel forced or cheesy, but it worked perfectly for me.
The set up for factions is tantalizing for the last two seasons. I did not at all predict that Sun would seek out Whidmore, but I think that'll be an interesting twist in loyalties, particularly for us as viewers to try to struggle with who we're sympathizing with and rooting for. I'll never know if we're supposed to love or hate Ben, but he's probably my favorite character in the show, so if Sun's against him, guess she's on my bad list now. And how could you not love to see Penny's boat picking them up. Little trite, but wonderful nonetheless.
I guess we're just left to wonder, can the island bring Locke back from the dead...again?
