2) I feel for you, Faraday. Hang in there! Don't become that creepy old man!
3) Though his line, "What's happened has always happened," was particularly poignant. And depressing.

I find it interesting that he said he wasn't going to tell Charlotte what she said he was going to, but then delivered that line... kind of contradictory, don't you think?

4) That statue was a big-ass mofo. It looked huge, and it was still quite some distance away. Which brings up the idea of the Egyptians again: is the Island the factual basis of the myth of Atlantis (Greek, I know, but it's the internet so I'm allowed to retcon)? Just a thought.

I suppose that's actually a strong possibility. It occurs to me they'd love you on the Lost Wild Mass Guessing Page.

5) It was rewarding to hear that Sawyer's first (and therefore identifying) words as LeFleur were "Son of a bitch!"

Quite possibly the coolest TV catch phrase this year. I've found myself saying it recently.

6) I guess Faraday in the Dharma outfit in the season opener is now explained.

Yep. And Jin in the Dharma outfit when he found Jack, Kate and Hurley.

7) Juliet and Sawyer? Aww.

Yeah, because I never would've predicted that two of the biggest sex symbols on the island would eventually hook up. But still... yeah.

8) Sawyer and Kate? Aw fuck. This is heartstring-tugging material.

Sawyer and Kate has always been heartstring-tugging, though, due to Jack's involvement. Wonder who she'll wind up choosing? Sayid? ;D

So it turns out there's an episode this week. I should get on that.

Yes. But we're dealing with paradoxes, aren't we? And I think it was clear that, when he saw Charlotte, he decided to tell her anyway. Perhaps hoping things would work out differently because of Desmond, even though he knows they won't?

Haha. I might check it out.

My money's on Charlie. He may be dead, but he's still got that adorable accent.

This week, I expect them to answer some of the following:
1) Where did Sun end up?
2) Who was the woman that left with Lepidus? (Assuming it isn't Sun, which it very well might not be)
3) What is the backstory of Caesar?
4) Why did Hurley and Sayid end up on the plane? Specifically, was Ben responsible for both or either?
5) What did Sawyer whisper to Kate in the helicopter? Does it involve his daughter?
6) What happened to Aaron?

This week, I don't expect them to answer the following:
1) Who is Jacob? No, seriously, who the hell is he?
2) Why was Sun working with Widmore?
3) Was Widmore telling the truth when he described why he left the Island?
4) Who, exactly, compose the two sides of the "war" Ben and Widmore both talked about?
5) Why did Ben kill Locke? (For the record, I think Ben killed Locke because Locke knew too much--Ben was worried Locke would tell Widmore about Eloise Hawking.)

A cool thing to consider: Abbadon (the name of Widmore's man and Locke's driver) means, basically, "Angel of Death" or "Destroyer." So it might be safe not to trust him.

EDIT: So it turns out there's not an episode this week. I should get on that.

That's a possibility. Faraday does seem to think that Desmond can affect things.

And chicks dig musicians.

1) Where did Sun end up?

They did show her in the previews for next week's episode, if I remember correctly.

4) Why did Hurley and Sayid end up on the plane? Specifically, was Ben responsible for both or either?

I'm pretty sure he was responsible for Hurley... Sayid, I'm not so sure (though it's certainly a possibility).

This week, I don't expect them to answer the following:
1) Who is Jacob? No, seriously, who the hell is he?

As long as they've answered that before the end credits roll on the last episode, I'll be happy. The worst mistake they could make is to end it without answering any questions, like The X-Files.

2) Why was Sun working with Widmore?

I'm pretty sure that one was already answered. She blamed Ben for Jin's "death" and wanted revenge.

5) Why did Ben kill Locke? (For the record, I think Ben killed Locke because Locke knew too much--Ben was worried Locke would tell Widmore about Eloise Hawking.)

Interesting theory. I was thinking it was because of the recreating the conditions of the first flight thing... they needed someone to occupy a coffin, Ben had easy access to Locke, Locke had to be sacrificed. Or alternatively, Ben knew the island would resurrect Locke all along and that influenced his choice of target.

A cool thing to consider: Abbadon (the name of Widmore's man and Locke's driver) means, basically, "Angel of Death" or "Destroyer." So it might be safe not to trust him.

Yeah, the demon at the end of Torchwood's first-season finale was named Abbadon. It was one nasty customer.
