Some miscellaneous observations and thoughts before I let you talk:

1. Did you catch the words ''Rainier-Canton'' on the side of Ben's van? That's an anagram for ''reincarnation.'' Does that bode well for John Locke's dead body?

2. Faraday seemed to suggest that Miles has been on the Island before. We've speculated in this space before that the Ghost-Hustler is Pierre Chang's baby all grown up. But here's another question: Is Faraday playing detective and just being quizzical — or does he know far more about Miles than he's telling?

3. I loved the sight gag of Hurley in an orange jail jumpsuit. I was also relieved to hear we won't get a prolonged prison break plot...though I was really confused by it all. Norton seemed to suggest that Hurley was only in jail on suspicion of murdering the Santa Rosa dude. But he was caught on phone camera holding a gun on the balcony of the safe house — the one with the dead guy in the apartment and the dead guy splattered on the pavement. Those seem like tougher ones to explain away. Sooo...what's the deal?

4. You guys are going to make a big deal in the message boards about the synchronicities in weather between present day Los Angeles and time-flashing Island. Aren't you?

5. Who sent the gun to Sun?

6. Crazy Doc Jensen connection of the week: research ''Agira'' (form of ''Ajira'') and cross reference with ''Ariza,'' which was the name of the doctor played by Treat Williams' neighbor on Everwood at the hospital. A Doc Jensen no prize if you can show me how both those words lead you to Hercules, the mythic beast known as a Geyron (a monster that takes human form), and magical lands called sacred precincts. Seriously! It's easy.

7. Way cool that Jin's back. We will talk more about him next week — but you can hear his actor, Daniel Dae Kim, talk right now in this interview conducted just a few weeks ago during EW's visit to the set of Lost. Check it out — then talk back!
