Finally watched it last night. It was indeed good.
I think Locke is my favorite character and this season has really solidified that.
The IGN review has a good bit:

The John Locke resurrected after the plane crash, much like Christian Shephard, appears to be a changed man. Being given life after death obviously sparks a metamorphosis for Locke and we are presented a man who is brimming with far more confidence and a renewed sense of purpose. He's a far cry from the man who we witnessed throughout the episode and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this John Locke and how he will factor into this coming "war." I have a feeling that this Locke will see right through the lies of both Widmore and Linus who at this point are both the villains of the series.

I also lost a lot of respect for Jack in this episode. What a jackass he was to Locke in the hospital. The difference between Jack and Locke is Locke has always been so firm and unwavering in his beliefs.
While Jack, is so easily swayed by those around him. Just take a look at how many times Ben has manipulated Jack. Jack has gone from hating Ben and not trusting him to completely trusting in him. He's just such a weak character.
In the earlier seasons, I liked him because he took it upon himself to kind of act as the Shepherd for all the people who crashed with him on the island. But over the course of the series, he's just become weaker and weaker.
Meanwhile, Sawyer has grown to become significantly more likable. He started off as jerk and only looking at for himself. In a way, it seems like he's kind of taken over Jack's role on the island. He kind of watches out for everyone and even though he doesn't like to reveal his emotions, he's demonstrated that he cares for the people he's with, like Jin, Juliet, Hurley, and Kate.
And of course, I could fully count on Hurley acting like a fucking idiot again this episode. The way he reacts to seeing Locke was just so goddamn stupid.
