I would not have pressed the “Execute” button. Screw that.

We gotta take care of that. It’s simply this, but with square brackets instead of parentheses: (spoiler)Kate and Sun get very, very friendly during sweeps week.(/spoiler) There ya go.
After the episode, I rewatched the Season 1 episode that first gave us backstory on Locke. When that came on last year, it seemed really sad that Locke’s closest relationship was apparently with a woman on a phone sex line; now that it looks like he was using her as a substitute for the real girlfriend he lost (including her name!) it seems twice as sad.
Didn’t recognize Katey Sagal at first. After seeing her dolled up all those years on “Married With Children”, then not seeing her for quite a while (despite the voice work on “Futurama”), it’s easy to forget that she’s a striking middle-aged woman.
Locke’s father: he’s wealthy, but do we know what his actual business is or was? He seems to be a sociopath, which would make him good material for CEO of a large corporation.
I’m sure Hurley has been jonesing for something besides boar meat, fish, and whatever fruits and roots they’ve been able to find (I’d like to see more about how they’ve been feeding themselves, really). I don’t usually get interested in the actors on a show, but it struck me when I heard that Jorge Garcia, who plays Hurley, said he didn’t intend to lose weight, so they’d better come up with food in the plot. It’s his business, of course, but given the life-threatening level of obesity there, I’m surprised he wouldn’t take advantage of the resources now available to him – personal chef, personal physical trainer, the best medical care – to try and get healthier. I just hope he doesn’t die young, like so many hugely fat people. (One reason I’m trying so hard to lose weight is that it occurred to me you don’t see a lot of big fat guys in their 80s.)
Still a lot of unanswered questions about the station, such as what its power source is. As for the vintage desktop computer, it seemed to have quite a few cords coming out of it; I’d want to trace all those and see what kind of equipment they go to. If the station really is just a self-contained unit for a) investigating electromagnetic anomolies or b) psychological experimentation, then the Tree-Crashing Monster/security system is still a mystery.
Judging from the previews, it looks like our core group of characters is going to try and keep the station a secret from the rest. I don’t see how they could keep that up for long; everybody knows there’s a hatch now, even if they don’t know what’s under it. Also, Hurley can’t keep a secret.
