Secret connections, time travel and bloody noses, oh my!

We must all admit, that LOST has been pretty awesome so far! I've been swamped at school and thus, unable to get to blogging and gobs of internet research post episode.

What we are wondering-

How pissed is Sun? She totally blames Kate for Jin's "death". (This week we will find out what has happened to Jin. I'm thinking/hoping that he is going to wash up on the beach after floating on a piece of wreckage Titanic style. This would be the second time that he has washed up on the beach, after the raft was blown up by the Others. Bad Luck, man!)
I was really suprised that Kate and Sun haven't seen each other in these three years. Kate had never seen a picture of Ji Yeon before, and Sun doesn't carry a more up to date picture of her?
(Of course, don't forget that it is part of Kate's parole that she cannot leave the state of CA for 10 years.) I definitely believe that Sun is behind the lawyers showing up at Kate's house, and demanding a blood test for Aaron. She is trying to scare her and wants to force her to run, right back to the island. Sun is definitely somehow involved in getting this group back together so that she can return to the island for Jin.

Who is Daniel Farraday's mother, a woman whom he wanted Desmond to find at Oxford? Is his mother Eloise Hawking, the mysterious white-haired woman who wouldn't sell Desmond the engagement ring, and who popped up with Ben while trying to plot the location of the island. Things to remember; Eloise was the name of Daniel's rat. Also, the young British sounding soldier/other was called Ellie, and Daniel felt like she looked familiar.

Does Farraday really love Charlotte? or does he keep saying this to her, to keep her grounded to be her constant? And what happened to that other chick who's in a time travel coma?

Daniel Farraday seems to be key to a lot of things- his research was being funded by Charles Widmore. (Which is making me think back to when we first saw Farraday crying over the discovery of the fuselage of Oceanic 815 from his home in Essex, MA- he knew a lot.)

Charles Widmore, who was also a young man on this island. No wonder he is desperate to get back.

Does Richard Alpert ever age, or is he just always travelling through time? Did he go to see Locke, because Locke was destined to become the leader of the Others, or because Locke told him to come?

The other big one for me with all this time travel- at some point will they shift through time and arrive at a time where the Losties have already been? ie Will they run into themselves? Will they see the departed Oceanic 6? (which Sawyer seems to imply in the preview about seeing Kate.)

I'm so glad that LOST is back and kicking-ass, and maybe even taking prisoners!

This all makes my brain hurt but I love it. Thanks for all the great reminders/questions!

Good catch on the Ellie blond woman from the WWII era time shift (ok really Korean War if you want to stick to the 1954 date). Widmore is looking good for a dude that should be about 75 according to the timeline. What a whiny baby he is too! Great characterization but makes me wonder how he became so powerful. I think the more important question is who Penny's mother is. I am thinking Ellie is not a bad choice there which means she and Daniel are half siblings. Plus that would explain why she told Desmond not to marry her when he went to buy the engagement ring.

Jin's name is still on the cast list so I have hope that he's alive as well. Agreed on either Sun or Widmore sending the lawyers. But doesn't Aaron HAVE to go back to the island with the rest of them? And who are the others exactly? They are not US military (obviously) so who were they sent by? Richard implies that he reports to someone. Is it really Jacob which is why he was won over by John? Ironic that Desmond and Penny's baby is named Charlie for dead Charlie but it's also Widmore's first name. He he he. I am still totally thinking that Miles is the baby from the opening scene of the season. That's why he has this "special" gift.

Phew. OK. I'm spent!
