OMG that was such an awsome episode, the best episode of season 3 and on par with the pilot episode.

Speaking of the whole Jacks dad issue i think Jack wants to believe/still believes that his dad is still alive so that he can have some sense of what his life was like before the crash considering that he has hit rock bottom when he got off the island.I maybe totally wrong but i think that his dad is dead but Jack wants to believe he is still alive.

I loved the part at the end where Jack said to Kate " we made a mistake we werent supposed to get off the island, we need to go back" or something to that effect -that just blew my mind!!

I was gutted when i heard the 3 gunshots thinking that the 3 guys were dead but soo happy when i found out they werent. And Hurley saving the day in his hippy van was totally insane, so i guess the episode when they actually found the van had some purpose and wasnt just a "filler" episode.

But my heart was in my mouth when Charlie closed the door just as Desmond was running in to talk to Penny. I was like "but...but.... he has to talk to her he just has too, i cant believe he was soo close!!"

Some other things im curious about -

- Who was in the coffin? - when the guy at the funeral palour asked Jack if he was a family member or a friend he said "neither" but he could have possibly said "either".

- Why was Kate angry at Jack for going to the funeral?. It is almost certain judging by what Kate said to Jack that they both knew the person that was in that coffin. Maybe someone that was on the island with them possibly Ben. They both have a reason to hate him after everything he did to the Losties but i think Jack may have gone to the funeral because his realised that Ben was right when he said "you cant leave the island" and was upset because if he had listen to him he wouldnt be so unhappy now. Or could it be John Locke in the coffin? Kate and Jack both have reasons to hate him too, after all he has done everything is his power wreck everything for the Losties while they were on the island.

- Who was Kate talking about she said " I have to go he's gonna be wondering were i am". Could Kate have decided to stick with her choice of Sawyer when she got off the island and make a life with him but still hold something for Jack? Or could she be talking about her son that she had with Sawyer? Remember she could still be preggers on the island, we dont know yet.

- How does Kate get out of prison in the future? wasnt she supposed to be this dangerous criminal on the run?

- Who is Naomi? is she really a bad person like Ben says?

- Whats the deal with Locke? why the hell is he stopping anyone getting off the island?.

- But my biggest question is how many of the Lostie actually make it off the island?, How many of them are still there? It could be possible that Jack, Kate and a few others made it off the island but in doing so had to sacrifice the freedom of other Losties.

I wonder if the next 3 seasons will centre on the Losties trying change the future i.e make different decisions that would make a different ending so that Jack doesnt end up hitting rock bottom?

Ahhh... so many questions but i cant believe we have to wait till next year to find out.Stupid, stupid ABC...WTF were you thinkin??
