We did learn a couple of things:

Spoiler:

1. There is, somewhere WAY below the island's surface, some kind of underground structure that is man made. And by the sounds of the "monster", it's at least partially mechanical. There's probably a community of people living there. And they're obviously not ape people, if they can build crazy machine monsters and...oh, whatever.

2. We learned that the French woman is crazy, but not so crazy that she was making up that crap about the smoke.

3. Michelle Rodriguez! And she'll probably be back, playing an important role next season.

4. Hurley running through the airport proves that he's always been able to haul ass despite his girth, and it's not just weird Island mojo giving him super powers....like Locke.

5. Sawyer looks really good tearing off his shirt and playing hero.

6. Jin looks very good kissing his wife.

7. Sayid looks very good running.

8. Charlie looks like a spaz when he runs.

9. Even on a mystical Island of What the Fvck, a junkie can find his fix.

10. Jack looks really hot when he's tearing up.

11. Kate is easily fooled for a seemingly street smart gal. Bait and switch, Kate! C'mon!!!!!

12. Some of the other survivors aren't stunningly beautiful, so Hurley is not alone. Not alone! (Personally, I think he's adorable, but he's no Sawyer, Jack, Sayid, Jin, etc.)

13. Black Rock = pirate ship? Hurrah!

I read a review at TWOP that basically said, "What a great hour of television that would have been," so you're not the only one who thought it was a bit bloated.
