Vaguely spoilerly re: Lost

Am I a total sap for sniffling through tonight's episode of Lost? It was utterly manipulative, and I realized it as I was watching, but still. I even thought, hmph, the way this episode is playing out, what everyone's predicting will happen probably won't. Although he can be grating and annoying, I do like Charlie. Even before tonight's episode. Maybe it's a hobbit thing. This is probably a really unpopular opinion, but I actually like him more than Locke.
