Namaste...and good luck

After watching "Namaste" last week, many questions came to mind. In this entry, instead of going into detail on each one, I'll do a bullet or summarize one each point.

1. Why did Sun not flash to the island like the rest of the Oceanic 6?

Possible Theory: Sun was pregnant at the time of her rescue from the island and her baby was technically "part" of her. If she would've brought Ji-Yeon aboard Ajira 316, would she have been able to flash with the rest of the group?

2. What's going on with that Ajira plane anyway? It now seems that it's in a different time period from the O6 that flashed onto the island.

Possible Theory: Hmm...that's a good one.

3. In season 3, Kate and Sawyer were kept prisoner by the Others. When Sawyer asked Juliet what they were doing digging up rocks, Juliet told them that they were bulding a runway, but she didn't know what for. Keep in mind, this was on the Hydra island, exactly where Ajira 316 landed. Coincedence? I think not.

Possible Theory: Richard told Ben to tell the Others to build the runway because he knew that the Ajira plane would be coming to the island in the future. How would Richard know this? My theory is that Richard is from the future (how far into the future, I have no idea) and kind of has a job like Abaddon to "get people where they're supossed to be".

4. Where does Christian tell Sun and Frank to go on this "long journey"?

Possible Theory: The O6 die in the Purge and Christian directs them down the right path to get them out of the situation. However, this would go against what Ms. Hawking says about not being able to change the past. But hey, anyone that's associated with Ben can never be completely trusted. Now it's getting down to the point where everyone has their own motives and acts towards their own goals.

Interesting things I noticed:

1. Ben's arm was apparently healed by coming to the island.

2. Young Ben watches Sayid through the prison cell. This situation was reversed in season 2 when Ben was captured by the Oceanic survivors.

3. When taking the "New Recruits" photograph with the Oceanic 6, Hurley turns his head towards Kate. However, in the photo that Christian shows Sun and Frank, Hurley's head is facing the camera.

Just a few questions, theories, and thoughts to speculate over until next weeks episode entitled, "He's Our You". Sounds promising, but with all these answers to look forward to, how could it not?

Namaste
