Rest in peace Michael. I created a tribute in his honor. Check it out!

I would say naomi is not dead, she will come back in the finale, I’m quite sure of it !

naomi was the leader of the infiltration group, and the only person with military training among them. and her military training probably enabled her to play dead till the time when she comes back and change the rules.

besides Sayid’s insistence on removing her body to the ship might indicate that she’s got something to do on the ship, otherwise the writers would just forget about her, or let her be burried in the island.

and not to forget the “tell my sister I love her” trick which indicates that her acts might not always mean what they seem at the first glance.

I hadn’t heard about Michael returning, but I expected some sort of time jump early in season 2 when I realized how slowly the show was proceeding chronologically while Walt was growing. I figured some years would pass so that he could be used when he was older.

What’s the confusion surrounding the Oceanic Six? It’s Jack, Kate, Sun, Sayid, Hurley, and Aaron.

We see what we want to see. Some see Juliet as a weak character only defined by her relationship with Ben/Jack, while I see a strong female in a difficult situation who is willing to do what it takes to get home. While some might make reactionary lists of females who have died while discount the ones to have lived as either defined by their men or as bit players or people who aren’t liked, others look at the list of females killed and note a large number of bit players there too, while a list of the men who have died include a fair share of major characters (Boone, Charlies, Eco…).

We see what we want to see. While some might look at Mr. Friendly’s partner and write: “…the less said about Arturo, the better,” I see that line and wonder just why the writer thinks that. Knowing this blog I’m sure I’m reading too much into it, but it’s hard to take it seriously when someone talks about how poorly females are treated is willing to discount Mr. Friendly’s new gay love because “the less said… the better.”

Then again, we see what we want to see.

>>come back with the sub before Locke finally blew it up.

The coffin looks too small for anyone except Walt, and it surely isn’t Walt in there.
Perhaps Ben is destined to lose his legs in some post-”rescue” incident?

The Verizon mini-episodes can be easily found on YouTube. I was VERY surprised at one in particular that features the moments just before Jack awakened at the beginning of the premiere:

I believe that the looking glass mainly worked with satellite connections and gps, so that the island couldn’t be located. Ben didn’t have trouble connecting to the ship and talking with “Kevin”, and he must have talked with hm before the looking glass was shut down, because he was with Jack and others when the looking glass was deactivated. But the satellite phones didn’t work.

As for Mr. Friendly, he’s dead, but the whole timeline should suggest that he managed to come back with the sub before Locke finally blew it up. It was Christmas time when Michael was in the hospital, so Mr Friendly met Michael shortly after that.

I doubt that Rousseau is truly dead, the island wouldnt let her die so easily. As for the shooter, I see two options: There’s Mikhail, but how would he know who to shoot? The second option is the assault team from the ship. The helicopter was gone, so it would make sense that a team was sent to finish the job, and as such, kill everyone they came in contact. But since Alex shouted being Ben’s daughter, the assault team could use her to get information. And it would make for a nice plot twist.

…and unless there’s a trick of perspective in action, it looks pretty child-sized to me.

Re: coffin size — Upon further review, I believe two things:
One, I still think the coffin I saw on the original airing looked too small for Micheal.
Two: LOST is put together using CalvinBall rules, which in this case makes the coffin any size required at the time the denouement occurs, and therefore, the size of the coffin can’t be a clue. The set designer just went cheap that day.

“And probably the less said about Arturo, the better.” Why?

Michael will probably bite the dust, but be redeemed when his actions help save the other 815 survivors. So I just can’t see kate being *that* repulsed by the notion of Jack attending Michael’s funeral. But Ben’s been yanking everyone’s chain back and forth since he first showed up and Kate may not believe he ever intended anything other than harm. But we’ve seen his post-”rescue” relationship with Sayid, indicating he’s still working to protect the island and everyone still there. So Kate would still still hate him, unless she has some personal knowledge of those efforts. (It appeared Future-Sayid is not exactly Ben’s fan either.) As for Jack going to the funeral home, we know that at this point (several years after the “rescue”) that Jack has plenty of reasons to think he may have been wrong not to listen to Ben. That’s pretty much what last year’s finale was all about.

Anyway, I don’t Ben will be with the group that returns to the island.
I think he’s in the coffin.

If there’s anyone in the coffin.

Those of us who were at the Lost panel at 2007 SDCC will recall Harold Perrineau saying, in response to a question about who’s in the coffin, that the article Jack reads in the paper said something about the man leaving behind a son. A pretty strong hint.

The funeral was only attended by Jack. It was someone both Jack and Kate knew, but not someone any of the Oceanic Six was interested in wishing farewell. Michael Dawson is dead, “Kevin Johnson” is alive (in present “island time”) and is not one of the Oceanic Six.

Last night’s episode made it clear neither Walt nor Michael’s mom wants anything to do with Michael, so they wouldn’t be at his funeral. The guy in the coffin is most likely “Kevin Johnson”.

The shortage of strong female characters seems to be “balanced” with a shortage of fluffy/pretty male characters. Yeah, it’s superficial of me, but I hate seeing a bit of male eye candy snuffed out like this. Boone’s dead, Paulo’s dead, Charlie’s dead, now Karl’s dead. Even the cute young Others tend to get knocked off. It’s almost like Logan’s Run in reverse: no one in the Males-18-to-30 demographic is allowed to live.
