I'm with you! I've been saying the same thing. Plus someone else mentioned that his name still shows in the opening credits, & I've read that he'd be back this season...

It just has to be. It has to be someone Locke also knows and trusts -- so it can't be one of the "Others." Why else would Ben be walking around without restraints?

haha yea the end was hilarious!! i hope michael and walt are the spies

another WTF moment...how da HELL did Michael get on the BOAT


wassup with people suiciding???

OOooooo I think u guys are RIGHT!

did anyone catch the date on the tombstone?

OH NO - Jin becomes a great guy, and then he dies. :(

Jin 11/27/1974 - 9/22/2004

(The other side says 3/20/1980)

I think next week's episode will be another intense one!!! I'm also loving the enhanced episodes.

Jin might not be gone. He may be "assumed" dead and Sun has to keep up the pretense since technically, the world believes everyone else is dead.

I hope he's not dead. :(

But the only people viewing the grave was Sun and Hurley! I am afraid he dies! :(

I have to admit, I did get a little teary eyed at the end!

As for Michael, I figured it was him weeks ago when Ben first said he had a spy on the boat. As for Walt, somebody said in an earlier post that he was also on the boat. He can't be though. Remember, Locke said he got his orders to kill Naomi from Walt? Which leads me to think Walt is somehow related to the Jacob guy in some way.

The weird thing is Micheal said not to trust the Captain but his information is more trustworthy than Ben, so I have no idea now who is telling the truth!

Yeah, the thing about the date on Jin's tombstone...aren't they in 2006 in the "present" on the island? Like when Desmond is having his weird time travel issues, don't they tell him it's 2006? So...the tombstone says Jin died before he did?

So, is this another alternate reality?

Question is too...what happened with Hurley being in a mental institution before and now we see him 'normal' with Sun going to Jin's grave?

(or did I ask that already)

They're still in 2004. Actually she would give birth in 2005 since she's 2 months pregnant by Christmas 2004.

We know Hurley goes to the hospital after he's back and before Jack grows a beard but we don't know the exact timeline. Presumably it's after July 2005 that he enters the hospital again.

Yes, we know Jin could not have died Sept. 2004 as his tombstone states because Desmond calls Penny Dec. 24, 2004 while Jin is very much alive. I don't get it all, but I believe he's alive. His flashback during Sun's flashforwad had me confused until the end.
