Don't know if I'd say it was the best written ep but it certainly dropped a couple of details that would seem very important to the overall mystery.

First the list which seems to say the Others had advance notice on who was to be on the plane (or they determined who was to be on the plane in advance).

Then there's the comment about the suspected Other that was thrown in the pit when the real Other said he killed him rather than "took" him because he wasn't "good." That seems to say the Others (or the people/forces that control them) knew something about each passenger long before the plane "crash." Whether "good" meant moral, ethical, etc. or meant suitable for some mysterious purpose wasn't clear.

That all came from one scene then at other times less obvious details were given:

The little boy with the teddy bear that he dropped at his sister's side when she was being revived. Looked like the same toy carried by the Other in the earlier ep.

When they found the bunker after setting up the camp off the beach the Dharma symbol for a different station (had an arrow in the center) from the one in which Desmond operated (had a swan in the center) was seen briefly at the entrance.

Something not resolved was Mr. Eko's origin. He seemed to be one of the passengers, given his clothes but his first appearance was on the beach. I couldn't tell if he was already wet from saving himself or from having begun rescuing others. So he could have originated from another place and is neither an Other nor a Flight 815 passenger. Maybe he was on the dope-running plane.

Since I always miss something, I'm sure there are other details someone else caught. These are what stood out to me.
