thebitterguyOkay, so, quick summary: Desmond was a monk, which is why he calls everyone Brutha. For some reason, his head monk had a picture of the maid from The Others, aka the antique lady who b-slapped Desmond because he was messing with history. Admittedly, a horribly photoshopped one, but still.
Good episode. We finally see what has happened since Penelope's folks saw the magnetic anomoly at the end of season 2. Widmore has sent a S&R crew to recover Desmond, and one of them has survived. Amusingly, they only speak Portugese, but thankfully the survivors have a Brazillian among them. O NOES!
Perhaps I will finally get my "where's NIkki & Paolo?" line from Jack after all.
The show was rather ambiguous about whether or not Desmond would let Charlie die or not. That, and what the hell got them talking about the epic Flash/SUperman confrontations. So we got an answer for both of those questions.
The flashback was mostly useless (Desmond runs away from responsibilities, which hopefully his 'race around teh world to win Penny's hand' was evidence of his getting over it, or more proof, and he made a lousy monk, and was a dick to his fiancee, but we STILL don't know why he got popped into the clink).
As character bits go, it's good, as plot bits go, it set up stuff for the next few episodes, but as an episode it felt more midseason than a part of the season's final stretch.

The egg came first, btw.
