First, let's deal with how Jack lost all his fur. It's been established that Jack Shepard has a nice mane of hair on his chest and stomach. When the episode opens, and we get what amounts to a gratuitous towel sequence, Jack has not a hair anywhere on his front side. Where did it go? Does the Island not like men with body hair?
Even better, Jack must've lost it long before he left the Island, as we see Juliet preparing Jack for his surgery, she is shaving a guy who already has no hair on his stomach. WTF?
Rose brings up something interesting here, when she tells Bernard that Jack getting sick goes against much of what we know about the Island; that it heals people (like her). Still, without Jack getting sick, the knowledge that Jin now knows that Charlotte speaks Korean -and setting up Sun's departure from the Island - would've never happened. So maybe the Island is allowing this to happen (like having Claire survive the bungalow explosion)?
While it was a solid hour of TV -which I fell asleep half-way through, so I rewatched it today-, it felt slow and very "bottle-like." Not much happened, though we learned how Sun (maybe) get's off the Island, and that Sawyer chose to stay (and just what favors is Kate doing for him in 2007 -according to the newspaper Jack picks up?) on it. And Claire, where is she?
Next week looks cool, with quirky actor Doug Hutchinson appearing to play another wacko character. Do with your strengths I guess.
