I'm not completely satisfied with the way they brought Libby back either, but at least they're acknowledging her again. And her presence in the alternate timeline may still be significant both there and in the main timeline. I think, though, in the alternate timeline, her checking into the hospital had something/more to do with her having the "delusional" memories of the main timeline, because when Hurley went to see her, she implied that those memories came to her before she got there.
What I'm curious about is what Desmond hoped to achieve by running down alternate Locke--what effect that's supposed to have.
And what role Locke (real/dead or otherwise) still has to play in this. Because according to the the lighthouse, Locke is one of the 6 numbers and it seems like all the numbers (4-Locke, 8-Hurley, 15-Sawyer, 16-Sayid, 23-Jack, 42-either Sun or Jin) all have to be together to leave the island or do whatever is supposed to happen.
Also, wtf happened to Eloise to make her so clairvoyant about everything (in both timelines)--to a degree that no one else seems to be? That's been bugging me for a while now...

I dunno, I think she stated that she started having these memories when she was already checked into the psych ward but I could be wrong.
As for Eloise, it's likely that she was the first person to figure out that the nuclear explosion sucessully created an alternate timeline.
Also, Jack gave her Daniel's journal back in the 70s which probably explains how she knows so much about future events such as Desmond's fate on the island, though it doesnt explain how she knew about the significance of Desmond not buying the wedding ring and various little random events, so I dunno, maybe she's just a super psychic or something.
