Lost: 316

Lost is getting soooo good! If you didn't see last night's episode, STOP right now. There are SPOILERS AHEAD! Here's what I'm thinking about tonight's episode, titled "316"...

What's happening to all the island kids? Kate had no intention of going back to that island, but then she turned up at Jack's house. When he asked "Where's Aaron?" she said she'd go with him as long as he never asked that question again. And then there's Sun, who has to go back to the island if there's even a chance Jin's alive. Uh, Sun, what about your little girl? Guess she doesn't need parents...

What happened to Ben's face? Jack had to go retrieve Locke's body because Ben got beaten up somewhere between the church and the airport. My guess is that the beating had something to do with getting Sayid on the plane.

The similarities... According to Eloise, the conditions on the plane had to be as close as possible to the original. this could explain why Sayid was in police custody (like Kate was the first time), Hurley had a guitar (like Charlie had) and Locke is in a coffin in the cargo hold (like Jack's father was - in fact, he's wearing Jack's father's shoes). So Jack, Kate, Sun, Hurley, Sayid, Ben, Locke, are all on the plane...

But what about Desmond? Eloise told him the island wasn't through with him. But he's not on the plane, and he doesn't plan on going back. But he wasn't on the plane before. He ended up on the island because of a ship wreck. Hmmm, Desmond, Penny and baby Charlie are living on a boat now. Is it possible they might sail into this open time/space window? We already know Charles Widmore ends up living on the island. Could it be that baby Charlie lands on the island during a time shift? And could Desmond and Penny end up being the Adam and Eve skeletons the castaways found during season one? Hmmm....

Your turn! What do you think?
