-I hate to say it, but by the end of this episode I am already sick of hearing Michael yell "Waaaaalt!" and call him "my son." It's at this point in the story that Michael becomes seriously one-dimensional, which is really too bad because he didn't start out that way.
-When Desmond asks Locke "Are you him?" it tickles me that Locke almost immediately said "Yes." What did he think Desmond meant?
-The snowman riddle ("What did one snowman say to the other?") parallels the Ajira passengers' ("What lies in the shadow of the statue?")
-I noticed for the first time that there is a Black Rock-esque model of a ship in the conference room where Michael and Susan discuss custody of Walt.
-Michael gives toddler Walt a toy polar bear.
-Visually, so far season 2 has been overwhelmingly dark. Interesting parallel to the theme of light vs. dark?
-Kate is a girl after my own heart. When she discovers that she's in a food storage closet, she goes straight for the chocolate.
-When we first were introduced to Desmond we thought he was crazy and a little bit scary. Now we know that he had good reason to be afraid of Jack, Locke and Kate - he thought they were Hostiles. I'd be scared too.
-Speaking of scary, Mr. Eko scares the crap out of me in this first introduction. No wonder Jin assumed they were the Others.
-Sawyer remarks when the current brings them back to the Island, "We're home." The Island really does become his home when they go back to the 70s.

Michael: Well, I guess I know why the shark is hanging around -- your shoulder.
Sawyer: Oh, well, I'll just stop bleeding then!

Don't you just love all the little dorky add-ins like polar bear toys and fake boats? Makes you wonder if they just do that to make people think about stuff that doesnt matter.
Good post!
I also got really annoyed by Michael's wailing, and couldn't understand why TPTB would get so cliched about it, being the great writers that they are. Maybe it was just for laffs?
Oh, I didn't catch that Black Rock in the room!
