- Jack needed to bring something from his father to be with Locke. I suspect that Hurley was told that he needed to bring something from Charlie, hence the guitar case. But I don’t know why things from other dead Lost characters that were one the original flight wasn’t represented by something. What if Kate is pregnant, and is now a substitute for Claire? If you recall, Hurley boarded late for Oceanic 815. Ben thought Hurley wasn’t going to make it, and tried to be a substitute for Hurley by arriving late.
- How did Ben get beat up? I bet when Ben saw Desmond he was just grinning on the inside, because he knew Desmond would lead him to Penelope. Ben’s errand, that promise to an old friend, was to kill Penelope, and he was beat up by Desmond or her during the task. Ben got his revenge on Charles Widmore for killing his daughter by killing Penelope. And if you recall, Desmond and Penelope were on a boat and Ben made the phone to Jack from a phone booth on a pier,
- Jin is going to be really ticked off once he finds out Sun was on that plane.
- Another theory. . . Jack’s grandfather, Ray, is really Jack. He didn’t impede anything because he knew Jack needed to go to the island. He caused a ruckus at the retirement home so that Jack would have to come down for a visit and allowed him to present the shoes to Jack.
- I don’t trust Kate anymore, especially when she said something to the effect of “Just because we are on the same plane doesn’t mean we’re together.” She’s up to something.
- I have a feeling we’re going to be stuck in the 1950’s for a while.
- Jack is very comparable to Saul of Tarsus. For the most part, he persecuted Locke, the Jesus like figure in the series. And now Jack is a believer, as if he’s been converted. Combine that with that fact that the flight number of the plane was 316 . . . as in John 3:16 and it all kinda makes sense.
- This might be a bit of a stretch, but there was an episode of the Twilight Zone called Dead Man’s Shoes. It was basically about a bum who took the shoes from a man who was killed by the mob, and then took the personality of the man that was killed.
- I bet the creator of the Lamp Post is not Daniel, but Dr Chang. Daniel just seems too obvious.

Good theory about how Ben got beat up. I forgot about his promise to kill Penelope, but it all makes complete sense.
I appreciate all Lost comments in blue….since I have never watched it! (I know, I know….but how do you catch up now?)
I love what they are doing in Lost. Look for John to “rise again” from the dead. Also could Jack be a Soul of Tarsus figure? Or even a doubting Thomas figure?
Totally meant Saul of Tarsus….sorry
Jill-You rent the series on dvd. That's how we got hooked, and we didn't start watching until it was in season 3 on TV…
