Christian is dead!

I was glad to see the writers attempt to address one of the issues I had with Kate and her "son" Aaron. A reporter questioned of how they should have noticed she was pregnant while being transported in custody. I thought it was lame how they dissolved the situation by not allowing Kate to answer the question.

The scene where Jack finds out that Claire is/was his sister was awesome. The look on his face was so authentic...acting without words.

Did anyone else think that the slow montage (where they were coming out of the plane) appeared to be a metaphor for the death process? That whole deal where you see a big bright light (when the cargo door opened), and you go into the light and meet all your lost loved ones? I thought it was a metaphor for death... or maybe birth?

I'm convinced that Ben has seen the future. It's the only explanation for his confidence. He goes off to take care of the helicopter crew...unarmed and unafraid of death. "Change the rules" = change fate/destiny? Maybe that's why he was so upset when Alex was executed...she was not supposed to die.

Remember how the island controls fate. We saw how Michael, on numerous occasions, escape death with no legitimate explanation. Will Michael, Desmond, and Jin perish while trying to diffuse the unmistakable pile of clearly labeled C4? We'll have to wait a whole 'nother week I guess.
