Official Lost Season 4 Thread

[Madame Adequate]

Episode rocked.

I was reasonably sure the kid would be Aaron, but not close to 100%. Cool move. I love Claire though, so Edit3: Or rather, loved, until she got over Charlie in the space of two hours.

Then again, the Oceanic Six are the ones who left the island, as far as we know. It's possible other people elected to stay (But why would Kate not choose that, if it was an option?).

Now I'm really interested in Lost again, because I dearly want to know not only what happened to everyone else, but also why this epic lie is being told. This is clearly something they established right away, cf. Jack checking that Hurley won't spill the beans, and Kate hearing Jack tell the lie so many times. Edit: Just occurred to me, why say that two people survived the crash and died later on the island? Wouldn't just "Only six survivors" be easier? On the other hand, it could be to make the story more coherent.

Now, the other question is, why does Jack refuse to see Aaron?

Further edit: It didn't seem like the people in Sayid's flashes really identified him easily, or at least not immediately/by sight alone. If so, does that mean Sayid's flashforwards were further ahead, when people had forgotten the issue more? Is Sayid, given his employment, even one of the Six, or did he get off the island some other way?

Another thought. Miles and Ben spoke in somewhat... circumscribed ways. Is Miles Ben's man on the boat?
