So here are some things I've been able to put together this season:
The first hatch with Desmond, the hatch, the computer, etc....that actually DID serve a purpose. It housed the bomb found by the Dharma Initiative in the 1950s - encased in lead, it required someone to vent the gas every 108 minutes.
Know how Richard seems ageless to us? That relationship of character to agelessness exists with more people:
Sayed to Ben - little Ben comes to visit Sayed in prison
Locke to Richard- Locke visits Richard in the 50s, Richard witnesses Locke's birth in the 60s, Richard and Locke meet up in the 90s...
I'm sure there are/will be more - Jack's dad has interacted with several characters throughout - but those are some I've noticed.
Does this really answer anything? No.
But I think it does give credence to the idea of destiny and course correction.
Other things I've noticed.
The second plane - the one that brought Jack, Hurly, Sayed, Kate, etc. back to the island. A ton of similarities to the first group.
A middle eastern male is on the plane = Sayed
Sayed = Fugitive in handcuffs.
This leads me to believe that Kate HAD to have been on the island before. Before the crash with our original cast.
All this has happened before. All will happen again.
Now.....what does all this mean in the bigger picture?
I HAVE NO FRAKKING IDEA!!!!!!
