Lost S5 E6 "316"

[Lindorn]

Ooh man.

I'm sure in the next few episodes were going to see the story of John and what he said to all the others back in real time. And see how he persuaded them to go on the plane and get back to the island. A big theme in this episode was getting everyone to recreate the events and people on the plane when it first "crashed". I made a little list up at work today seeing the comparisons of who is who etc. IE Christian in flight 815 is Locke in flight 316. Kate on 815 is Sayid on 316 (In cuffs with cop). Charlie on 815 is Hurley on 316 (Guitar). There are a few more, but they weren't as concrete.

I've read and listened to some podcasts about what happened to Ben, when he was all beat up and bloody. Most common thought is that he was going after Penny and may or may not have killed her. Possibly Sayid or Widmore did it to him. (Maybe thats why Sayid was taken on the plane in cuffs?)

And for Jin on the island in the van. I think, that when John fixed the donkey wheel it stopped the flashes and the island stayed in whatever time they were. I believe that would be around the 1970's. This would explain why he is in a Dharma jumpsuit, possibly working for them undercover with the rest of the people who were going through flashes. As well, this would go along with the first scene in this season when Faraday was seen in the dig with Peter Chang (Marvin Candle).

Overall, a lot of answers and a lot of new things we need to learn. Main questions being:
- What happened to Kate and how she got into Jack's place
- How Hurley got out of jail
- What happened to Ben and why he got beat up
- What happened with Sayid
- Why Jin is in a Dharma van in a jumpsuit
- Where are the rest of the "Losties" from the plane (Sun, Sayid, Ben and Locke in the casket)
- When they are on the island

And probably a whole shit ton more, but hey. Lookin' cool so far !
