Didn't Claire appear to Kate when Kate was off the island and told her not to bring Aaron back to the island? I wonder who or what that was. If it was really Claire appearing to her, then this savage Claire isn't really Claire. Or maybe it was Jacob appearing to Kate with the warning.

So Jack has a kid in this alternate reality? I guess it's pointless to try and figure out how this alternate reality came about. But it's a little strange that things could have happened so differently that Jack has a child, but he still drives the same Jeep.

Lots of interesting stuff on that Lighthouse wheel. Someone put up screen captures... http://bit.ly/cf2dKY

Looks like Kate is #51, Ben is #117, Rousseau is #20 and some guy named Wallace is #108, but he's crossed out. I'm betting that Wallace is a nobody, and Jacob's instruction to turn the wheel to 108 wasn't important at all. Just like Hurley said... it was all designed to get Jack to see his house in the reflection. I don't think #108 was important at all.

It also looks like Sayid's and Jack's names are bolder than the rest... as if someone wrote over the names to darken them.

Was it weird the way Gin seemed to drop the accent a bit towards the end? Are we sure Gin is Gin, since he did kind of blow up on the freighter a few years back. I'm wondering if, upon being reunited with Sun, she says something to the effect of "that's not my husband." Maybe I'm just over-thinking it, but why would he point crazy, armed Claire towards the temple knowing some of his friends are there?

108 is Wallace...but it's also the total of all the numbers added together (4 8 15 16 23 42).

Although the temple dwellers seemed to worship Jacob, I'm not 100% positive that they, and not Claire, are the "good guys." I'm not even sure Jacob is a good guy...but that could just be because, as a proponent of free-will over determinism, I resent his constant meddling in the lives of mortals.

I think it's very necessary for either Hurley or Miles to speak with a dead character on the island that has nothing to do with advancing the plot. The island should be crawling with ghosts for them to speak with, right? Well, not every one is going to have helpful riddles or mysterious tasks from them to complete.

Hey, is LA Jack remembering details of his life from the other timeline? Is that why he keeps looking at cuts or scars as if he has no idea how he got them? I wonder if each character's proximity to the nuke has anything to do with their being able to "sense" both realities. Juliet was closest, and she told Sawyer "it worked" before she died. Jack, Sawyer, & Kate were all close to the nuke as well. I'll be looking for clues that Sawyer & Kate sense the other timeline...

I think you're right about the cuts and bruises. Good call.
