This episode was jam packed with great moments. A lot of information we already know is repeated and reiterated but that helps recap the important things. We get to see a great scene with Jack and Ana Lucia in the airport bar before the flight (which sets up Season 2 nicely), Kate and the marshal moments before the flight, Sun and Jin snacking pre-flight among some very racist people and we find out that Sawyer picks a fight with the wrong man and gets up getting deported from Australia, never to return again. Also there is a good scene between Walt and Michael where we see that their non existent pre-island relationship has grown into a pretty touching relationship on island.
While on the topic of great scenes, Sawyer finally tells Jack all about his interaction with Jack's father hours before his death. In that moment, they parted as friends and wished each other good luck.
Many episodes ago, we had the beach people and the cave people. Now the Losties get split again to the boat people and the hatch people. Rousseau, the French woman, informs everyone that the "Others" are coming so Jack plans to hide everyone in the hatch. To open the hatch, they decide to journey to the Black Rock to get some dynamite. Rousseau used some dynamite to booby trap her old underground home that she abandoned after capturing Sayid many episodes ago. After a brief threat from the Smoke Monster, the Losties reach the Black Rock which turns out to be a pirate ship very deep within the jungle.
One of the greatest scenes of this episode was the launching of raft. Everyone was swelling with pride and hope. This scene coupled with a fantastic score really tore at the heart strings. After all their hard work, things are, for once, looking positive for the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815...
