I think all in all, the episode was pretty good. The flashbacks were really good, but the "present" things were a little disappointing.
I felt bad for Charlie at first when he woke up from his "sleep kidnapping" because really, he didn't know what he was doing. But everything after that? What the hell was he thinking? I didnt really think Id ever say this, but I sure hope he was on drugs. Thats the only rationalization I can see for doing things that would clearly alienate him from everyone on the island. I love Charlie as much as the next guy, but come on.
On another note, I dont see why everyone's so down on Locke. If I was on the island and some delusional drug addict (former or otherwise) was kidnapping babies, hes the guy I would want to have around. Charile went out of his way to make himself a threat, and I think Locke handled it perfectly. To be honest, I thought he was going to punch Charlie as soon as he got the baby. He had it coming, and it kinda makes sense given the severity of what Charlie was doing despite several warnings to stop.
Now we get to wait for a few weeks until another new episode. yay. Anyone else remember when TV shows used to... I dunno... play a full season of episodes?
