That pre-show didn't mention ANY of the dead characters, including Michael and Ana Lucia.
But who DID they mention? Yep. They mentioned Jin. Who is NOT dead.
Good catch. I wonder how they will introduce that one since the ship disappeared.

One thing is for sure. If you thought as I did that the writers had no idea where they were going and left more unanswered questions and dead end storylines before they now have free reign to go in circles for ever with this new time concept.
So, where the whispers we heard in the earlier seasons actually remnants of when people are in the same place/different time?
Did Locke lose use of his legs when he was at the drug smugglers plane with Boone because in an earlier time frame, he was shot there?
ANA LUCIA!
Is Miles Marvin Candle's son?
Does Sun's baby have to go back too?

This is one of the only shows on TV where watching it twice, reading a recap or contemplating later is needed to wrap your head around what happened. There have been a couple times where I have watched an episode, went about my business...only to then realize what I had actually seen earlier. lol.

I think the creators have actually confirmed that the whispers were made by the Others/Hostiles. Whether there's a time discrepancy or not is still up in the air.
I, too, believe that Jin is not dead.
On now! Woo hoo!!!!
Widmore an other...
Is there going to be anyone left to rescue?

What an awesome episode. Things are making a little bit more sense...
Widmore an Other...
We now know how Richard knows to visit John Locke as a child--he was in the hospital when he was born and returned later with his "test". The compass was the same one he asked young John to choose and he didn't--don't know the exact meaning of that, but at least we now know how we got to that point.
Desmond and Penny's son's name is Charlie.
Faraday's mother is in LA, it's gotta be the time travel woman with Ben.

And is Faraday's mother "Ellie" from the Island? The lady in LA is named "Eloise"
Has to be the same person.

I believe I read somewhere that the producers said that it is the same compass, although I agree, the pictures are off.
Does that mean you disagree with everything or what?

Very interesting the Widmore was an other years ago so he must know something about the island or whats really going on. Why hasn't Richard ever aged? Very interesting season so far I wish this show came on more than once a week or at least had a couple hour episode every week I hate waiting.

You are one of the only people I know of that thinks that. And I pretty much agree with you.
I think this episode is MUCH more enjoyable if you are familiar with everything that went on in the past seasons. There were a lot of connections explained in this episode (Widmore, Richard and Locke, etc.).
I think a lot of it has to do with who the focus was on. A confidant, resurgent Locke, to me, recaptures the heart of Season 1. Desmond also remains a great character. Faraday's storyline is interesting. But Locke remains fascinating because I love the question of whether he's this pathetic man with delusions of grandeur or someone truly destined to be an everyman hero. The whole predestination vs. free will battle rests on his storyline. The show is just another plot-twisting labyrinth of emptiness without it (i.e. 24).
I get worn out on the whiny episodes featuring Jack. He's tortured by daddy issues. I get it. They've only revisited that every other episode the past two seasons. Also, Ben's act is proving to be a one-note act, and it irritates if he gets too much screen time. Hurley's great, but he only serves the purpose of conscience for the Oceanic Six, so the others have to play out their whiny agony for him to play a role.
So, yes, Locke kicking butt and running the show is a big point for me.

One thing that interests me is how Richard is the constant on the island wiht the others but he seems to change allegiances?
50 years ago he was there with Widmore on the same "side". Later he's there with Ben, whose mortal enemy is Widmore (presumably from some incident on the island). And of course later his leader is Locke. So it's interesting that the guy with "tenure" on the island appears to have no interest in leading but I guess that's decided by Jacob not him.
I did like this episode quite a bit.

Very good episode. The reveal that Chuck was a member of what appears to be the original others was great. Now my curiosity is peaked regarding, what happened that caused a rift between him and the Others? How did he get banished?
I can see it now. The Others get together in a ceremonial area surrounded by tikki torches and one by one, each writes Charles down on their pieces of paper as they drop it into the box.

I agree with everything else you said.

maybe. or it could be the woman in the butcher shop who's going to hold on to Locke's body. It just seems like it would be too on the nose for this show for the mom to be the one they already showed with the time machine stuff. or maybe i'm just overthinking it. i don't know, they lik to throw us for a loop a lot.
great, great, GREAT episode last night. one of the best IMO.

Just realized something:
1954 Girl Soldier's name: ELLIE
Ms. Hawking's first name: ELOISE (old woman with Ben)
Faraday's rat's name: ELOISE
Hmmmm....
