The two cliffhangers at the end of season 1 were the blowing the hatch open and the Others blowing up the boat. Since we got to see the hatch in the first episode of season 2, we now get to see what happened to the Losties on the boat.
What we are treated to in this episode is just Michael and Sawyer floating along with the current with the threat of a shark who is attracted to a bleeding Sawyer who was shot trying to save Walt. Jin is missing as well. While they float along, we are shown flashbacks to Michael's "legal" fight to get his son to prepare us for the "physical" fight that will be Michael's task in episodes to come.
They finally make it back to the shore where they are greeted by a Jin that is bound and tied to a stick yelling "Udders". The last shot of the episode is random figures that we can't discern and are people that Jin obviously fears.
Sound like a boring episode? Well, what REALLY kept me intrigued was that they showed more of the hatch. I use the word "more" loosely since they just took the scenes from the first episode of season 2 and showed it from Locke's and Kate's point of view, instead of Jack's which allowed us to see a little bit more like the numbers being entered into a computer when an alarm goes off, a storage room full of food, and an introduction to the word "Dharma". The mystery of the hatch is really peaking my interest in the re-watch of this show so I'm glad it had a presence in this episode.
