Ethan had a sling. The projectile is usually referred to as a sling stone (go fig). I thought it was a bola at first (and from the look of the comments, I'm not the only one)
The MacGuffin was a cigarette case. Lucy says so explicitly when she rails at Charlie for stealing it.
Jin was totally pushing Sun to get her to tell him what they were saying (and thereby admit she speaks English). I'm waiting for her to break on that one. I'm also now convinced Jin doesn't speak English, 'cause he would have said something to Charlie's running commentary; Charlie was dropping way too much info and important expositiony stuff for Jin not to react in some way.
The shot with Boone & his Pointy Stick on the beach? So Lord of the Flies.
Back in the dark and scary part of my mind, there's a voice that keeps saying "OMG Charlie's a mole, and he's in on everything with Ethan and that's why he killed him!" Seriously. First thought when I saw who pulled the trigger. Also? I'm totally thinking it's Charlie who dies (for real.) and that it's one of the castaways that does him in. Doesn't seem to make sense with the whole beating-up and knocking-out of Jin, but I gots me a sekrit hunch. Thus, I'm probably wrong.
And was it just me, or was this one of the most obvious, blatant, plot-point-dropping eps so far? Not just Captain Exposition and his Masters of the Obvious, but the plot and flashback were both really point-a-to-point-b direct about everything. I mean, I liked it and all, but there was a LOT more "I saw that coming" than I remember there being? Maybe it's just we have more info to go on when making assumptions, or I'm tuning into the subtext more or something.

Okay, I'll shut up now... ;)
