Several of the Oceanic Six survivors come to grips with their need to return to the island... on their own terms.
Hurley and Sayid are hunted down by the cops. Jack and Ben try to bring everyone together as a team. Kate receives help from an old friend to hide the truth.

I think I figured something out (maybe this is obvious, I don't know). The very first scene was Dr. Marvin Candle with his wife and child. I bet his child is the Asian guy who came over on the freighter (forget his name). That's why he's psychic. Okay, that's the only answer I have. The rest are questions.
If Faraday was there with Dr. Candle, does that mean all of the survivors have travelled back to the 70's, or just him. Wasn't he already travelling in time before he got to the island?
Faraday's idea to use Desmond as a messenger was cool. It looks like Desmond may be the most important person in the series. Is it possible that he's the only one who can change history?
So that old lady that Ben was talking to at the end of "The Lie"... is that the woman who was working at the jewelry shop who spoke to Desmond? Wasn't she also in a photo on someone's desk? Who's desk was that? The monk? Is it possible she's also Faraday's Mom... the woman Desmond is supposed to find? She was doing a lot of kooky calculations. I know she's supposed to be at Oxford, but maybe she hopped a plane.
Nice cameo by Ana Lucia. I was hoping for a Charlie cameo when I saw the drug runner plane.
Why did those guys show up at Kate's door? Did Ben send them as a way to motivate Kate back to the island?
Hurley has nice cans.
How exactly will getting the Oceanic 6 back to the island stop it from travelling through time? Are they some sort of anchor? Why? I don't think we have enough clues to figure that out yet.
What is Sun up to? Does she really want to kill Ben? I guess it's possible. Does she secretly still blame Kate a little for Jin's death (I still say he's alive)? Did she send the lawyers to Kate's house as revenge? Maybe her character is going to take a dark turn and need redemption, just as Jin's character started out dark and redeemed himself.
What's up with Ginger's bloody nose?
I knew that Neil character was going to be a "red shirt". As soon as he showed up, I told my wife "he's the new Paulo". I kept wondering why they would add a character in this manner, after it failed so miserably with Nikki and Paulo. Then it dawned on me. They're messing with us. He's dying tonight. Bingo, flaming arrow in the chest. These guys rule.
What did I miss?
I was talking to Sean, and he thought that the group of people that attacked Sawyer and Juliet might be a future group that lands on the island. Did their guns look modern or old? I thought they were old. Someone online predicts that the group is Rousseau's people. That would be cool. Was she the only one who was French, or was the whole expedition French?
"Hurley has nice cans."
Dude, show some respect. They're called "moobs."
Your Asian Guy (Miles?) theory seems spot on.
Yeah, I think that was the same woman from the jewelry shop, and we also figured she's Faraday's mom.
I initially thought Ben sent the lawyers to Kate, but then I thought maybe it was Sun.
Ginger's bloody nose & memory loss (her mom's maiden name) is the result of a time-travel induced tumor or brain bleed? It will probably happen to all of them if they don't get "grounded" by the return of the Oceanic6.
Not for nothing, but why would the island have Locke move the island if it wasn't good for the island?
I bet we get to see the island jump into the Black Rock (that old slave ship), or something. So is Alpert immortal, or just a time traveler? Is he originally from the Black Rock? Not sure why I have so many hangups about that ship...
About the red shirts...it's irritating that after 4 (5?) seasons, they haven't really fleshed out many of the other original survivors. All the new main characters showed up via the frieghtor (Miles, Faraday, Ginger), or were with the Others (Ben, Juliet). Couldn't they have planted ONE dude in the background who gradually rises to prominence, or is BSG the only show with the patience for great character arcs?
I thought the flaming arrow in the chest was too simialr to blowing up that Arntz (sp?) guy in season 1. "Here's somebody you don't know. Look, he's annoying. Look, we've killed him in spectacular fashion. High-five!" Bernard pucning him in the face would have been more satisfying. Still, flaming arrows DO rule...
Also: That Neil guy is from a recent commercial, but I can't put my finger on it. It's bugging me...
Now that he's dead, maybe he can give Steve Buscemi his teeth back...
Your Buscemi reference is funny. I've seen that guy a zillion times, and I always thought he was a poor man's Steve Buscemi.
I think "the island" told Locke to move it out of desperation. I think the future has been changed, thanks to Desmond, who is the only one who doesn't "follow the rules". The Oceanic 6 were never meant to leave the island, and this paradox is causing the island to jump around in time. Once the Oceanic 6 return to the island, history will have corrected itself and all will be well. I know it's a stretch, but it's the best I got.
Hey, weren't the "rules" already broken when Ben's daughter got killed? I could have sworn he said something to that effect to Widmore.
So at what point did the rules become breakable? When the hatch blew up and Desmond got his powers?
That's what I think. I actually called that last year... about the rules being broken when Ben's daughter died. He was absolutely in shock when that dude shot her. He was 100% sure she wouldn't die, because he somehow knows the future. But somehow, when the hatch blew and Desmond got his power, he was able to manipulate time. I'm not sure exactly what he did (was delaying Charlie's death enough to change time?), but I'm sure if we watched the season over again, we could figure it out.
I hated this episode. The show smartly defined a new way of time travel last season by not having people physically move in time, but rather their consciousness does.
Now they just broke that convention and people are jumping around in time which is very cliche.
I also hate how deux ex machina the whole farraday implanting a memory in desmond that he wouldn't remember for over 3 years.
I like this whole candle/miles strom therory.
One of the coolest things left over the summer was what happened on the island for 3 years since the 6 left, but sadly what we're going to find out is they just jumped in time and landed 3 years in the future saving the writers from having to write 3 years of missing stories.
I also think I miss the convention of flashback/flash forwards. I liked the pairing of stories to show you the past experiences that affected the present decisions.
Oh well. Just get the back on the island now.
and watch that Sun... looks like she's up to no good. I wouldn't be surprised if she was the one to manipulate Kate to run by sending those guys to get a paternity test on Aaron.
Laurette seems to remember Faraday saying that he'd been on the Island before. She thinks that Faraday may have gone to the island in the past (or time traveled and went).
