Okay, so you haven't missed an episode yet like me. And it's not been helping you figure out what's coming next. But we love it that way -- "shhh . . . don't tell me, I haven't seen that episode yet." Let's look into a few items . . . there be spoilers here, so back off now if you don't wanna ruin it for yourself.
So far we know that the Oceanic Six consist of Kate, Jack, Sayid, Hugo, and Aaron -- and in the coming attractions after last night's show we learned that next week the sixth Six will be revealed. Hmmm? Lots of guesses for that one. Could this be tied to who was in the coffin at the funeral home where no one but Jack showed up? Is it one of the Oceanic Six that makes it into that box? If not, why the high drama? Perhaps it was one of the other two of the "eight" survivors of the crash, as Jack put it at Kate's trial.
And how does Kate end up with Jack's half-nephew, Aaron? Obviously Claire would not let her baby go for any reason, she would die first. Do we assume she's dead? Does she find out Jack is her half-brother before she dies? Maybe this is why Jack is having a very difficult time getting himself to go over to Kate's place and see the kid.
As my wife pointed out early on, I guess you've noticed that all the flash-forward scenes, beginning with the last episode of the third season, wherein Jack demonstratively emotes to Kate, "We gotta go back!", are moving backward in time. That is, all the future scenes start with that Jack/Kate scene and begin to move backward to when they were rescued. Think about some of the other "future" scenes: Hurley at the institution with the shady man, with a resurrected Charlie, and with Jack; Kate in court, with her mom, and with Jack in the parking garage; Sayid working for Ben. All of the scenes are prior to ones you have seen earlier. My guess is they will continue until the forward motion of the show meets them.
This, of course, multiplies the time element of the show overall. We still get to see flashbacks like we have seen since the show began, but since the last episode of the third season we get to see the future, and it's running backward.
And where the hell is the cabin, Jacob, and the black smoke? I wanna know!
Talk with ya later,
Kenn
