Right there with you.

I totally think it was Pet Semetary Island and not Dr. Left Hook that was responsible for Charlie recovering.
So, what miracles has the island given us so far?
Some 47-ish people surviving a plane crash that they shouldn't have, by all rights (and according to Sayid).
Claire's baby, which hadn't moved since the crash (we don't know if it was actually dead), suddenly got wiggly when Gavin made sushi.
Walking Locke.
Resurrected Hobbit.
Anything else?
(And speaking of hobbits, FotR is on TNT right now, and I gotta say -- I have *totally* separated Merry from Charlie. They might as well be 2 different actors to me now. That's good acting.)

Walt made a polar bear with his brain.
And a killing on the backgammon board.
Walt is the mankid.

Walt is the kid.
In that case, maybe everyone on the island is a figment of Walt's imagination.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Too bad Walt doesn't have a purple crayon.

Perhaps Walt has a set of crayons. You know, the really big one with all the colors. Hence the lush tropical setting.

I think you can't judge whether Charlie's resurrection was a cop-out or not until we see what happens next. Also just because we love it when Tim & Joss kill our beloved characters doesn't mean that everyone has to do it. I believe the writers were trying to indicate it was a Craphole Island Miracle but maybe they didn't spell it out clearly enough for people. I personally felt like I was put through the emotional wringer enough (almost as much as if Charlie had stayed dead) to be relieved when he came back and not begrudge the writers my pain. Also, there is a fascinating post on TWOP [link] shedding some light on how long people can go without breathing or be seemingly dead.
