Like sawyers current flashback being held in jail wasnt related to his current situation? but i think i see your point

So for all the characters introduced thus far, how many do we know why they were going from Sydney to LA? I can remember the story for Jack, Claire, Charlie, Anna Lucia, Michael and Walt, Hurley, and Locke. We know why Kate was coming back but we don't know why she was there. We've also seen some brief glipses of Sun and Jin, and Eko, but no real answers. The flashbacks should be filling in these holes, especially for major players like Sayid and Sawyer.
true that kate's one hasnt been explained i assume she was still running from the cops but yeah no real insight, they shouldve given us the answer to that one atleast.

Correct me if im wrong but i think sayids reason to go to australia was to find a terroist he knew before he defected. He had to stop some terrorist plot from happening in australia...He was blackmailed, if he stops them he finds his girl (SPOILER)when the guy found out he ratted him out to the poilice for a girl he shot himself, sayid stayed to bury him hence he had to wait an extra day that got him on that flight! Sawyer went to australia cause he tracked down who made him the way he was! he was in some prawn shop... just as he was about to kill him he backed down....decided to take a drink, met Jacks dad in a bar, he ended up in a police station, saw boone and got deported to LA that landed him on that flight!

but yeah as for Sun and Jin indeed...no idea why i think australia was where sun was going to run from jin....but thats all i remember lol

someone asked why they conned sawyer...ben said to get a con-mans 'respect' they had to con him...i think it was just to say that they're better than him or something....i think they want him to give up, something....i just want to know what the hell their endgame is cause all this seperation from people is begining to bug me


need more stuff happening on the island, everyone (the other 30 people) seems a little too comfortable
