What was the point other than to fill time?
To see Saul Rubinek again, of course! (He's one of my favorite character actors of all time, so seeing him in even a small role is fun.)
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Wolfram, my reaction was the same as yours. I'm tired of being bored for 50 minutes and then something interesting happening in the last 5. PLus, I found the hatch interior waaaayyyy too unbelievable.
Much (almost all) of Michael's sympathetic qualities seem to come from being wronged by stone cold bitch. Without that factor he is pretty much an annoying screw up.
I found Michael to be so annoying and unwilling to take responsibility that I couldn't even watch the rest of the episode. Guh. His character is always self-righteous, always blames other people and pretty much always makes the wrong decision.

It reminds me of Buffy S7 when we had the same basic plot for Bring On the Night, Showtime, and Potential and pretty much nothing but speeches for three episodes. It's so much more annoying when you know the writers are capable of so much better.

If I had to be stranded on a raft with either Michael or Sawyer, it's Sawyer hands down. The dude takes a bullet for the team, and doesn't even chide Michael when he admits he probably shouldn't have brought Walt along. Compared to Michael right now, Sawyer is a champion big damn hero.

Let's not forget the life-saving CPR/mouth-to-mouth.
They've done a terrible job keeping Sawyer a badass this season.

All 2 episodes of it?
Well technically one that he was in. Maybe he's only heroic when he knows the only witness is a whiny, selfish blame-gamer who'll never remember or appreciate it.

No problem there.
Pulling a bullet out of your shoulder with your bare hands and no painkillers is pretty badass.

Especially on a half submerged raft at night. However, the salt water helps heal the wound.
