S2: The 23rd Psalm

New character Mr. Eko gets a flashback episode.  This episode answers the questions of the origin of the plane, the priests and the Mary statues filled with heroin.  It appears that Charlie is not using but for some reason he's got a hidden stash.

The highlight of this episode was probably the amount of screen time that the smoke monster got.  It appeared to scan Mr. Eko and then take off.  It's really weird how we see little pieces of smoke traveling through the jungle and then it gets angry and "grows" a lot bigger.  Excluding the hatch, it's the biggest mystery and I really seeing it when it shows up but at the same time frustrating because it's a reminder of something that doesn't get some answers in the last season.

Plot device of note:  Michael is using the hatch computer to talk to Walt, or at least we are lead to believe it's Walt.  I don't remember when it happens, but things get super serious very soon with Michael.  He's a ticking time bomb and unfortunately nothing is done early enough to diffuse him.
