I don't think the island is hell, purgatory or anything of that nature. Although I'm not an expert I don't think you can drive a submarine, freighter, or anything else to either of these places.
My anger is growing by the episode. Maybe I'm just in a negative mindset to insulate myself from what I see as inevitable disappointment, but these episodes all feel like filler to me and not progress. This was what? The 9th episode before the finale? And we got to see Richard's past, but the first half hour did nothing to progress the storyline.
