Ironically, everyone loves Hurley! At least on the island. Not counting the Others, I guess. Or the freaky tail survivors. Or Desmond. Rousseau doesn't seem to bear him any ill will, though.
So, re the hatch (or, at this point, I guess we should call it the Station 3, or the Swan, or something): Some hints as to what happened to the original experiment. Or, rather, a hint that there was in fact an original experiment. I would have said, last week, that it was just as likely that the psychological number-pushing exercise was the point from the beginning, but now it looks like something else was going on before being buried under tons of concrete.
And then there's the other hatch. It looked unfinished, to me, but my reception was fuzzy. If it wasn't completed, that might explain how they were able to get in.
But forgot all that: did Hurley get to take the cute record store clerk to The Hold Steady concert?

It had been driving me nuts as to where I've seen the blond woman before, but I finally figured out that she's been in "Titus" and "The Drew Carey Show".
So, it seems Walt (and Shannon maybe?) aren't the only ones with paranormal abilities. Rose seems to have some extrasensory abilities as well, if seemingly limited.

She just has faith and doesn't have that empty feeling when somebody is gone.

Perhaps one of the strongest themes in Lost seems to be about belief and faith and trust and that sort of shit. Speaking of faith, I was going to be seriously upset if Hurley had blown the food (and possibly the shelter) apart with the last of the dynamite. The show would have taken a deleterious dog-leg into 24 territory where everthing that can possibly go lame does. So it was nice when it didn't. Claire got her peanut butter. Kate got a shower. Sayid is still clever and awesome. And big, fat Hurley is redeemed and loved by all.
Plus Rose is probably my favorite character on the island. (I'd totally be helping her with laundry.) It's good that Bernard is OK, but I'm worried about those back-half-of-plane folk. Something bad has happened, be it Michelle Rodriguez hardness or supernatural magnet chain smoke thing. I wasn't sure whether the other station was unfinished or just abandoned and sort of in ruins.

Evidence, at any rate, that the whole Dharma Initiative didn't proceed as originally planned. (Unless looking like it didn't proceed as planned was in fact the plan.)
I'd bet that the tail survivors' problems are due to either folks like Ethan Rom, or Rousseau's alleged crazifying disease, or some as yet unknown group of bad people; if it was just the monster/security system, I don't think they'd be so mean. I mean, it's pretty clear that Sawyer, say, isn't suddenly going to start tearing trees out of the ground and ripping people in half.

From the preview for next week, I got the impression the Tail Survivors' problems were due to their being killed off by the Others. But, of course, what the previews seem to imply and what actually happens are often different things.
