Episode 10.....

Spoiler: No Widmore or Ben, no Locke, and still nothing about what's going on on the boat (especially frustrating after the ship's Dr washed up on the beach, garotted, last week) but..... What an episode!!! Almost 50% taking place in the 'future' with Hurley, apparently being visited regularly by Charlie, convinced that they are all dead and 'in heaven'. We also got so see the breakdown of the relationship between Kate and Jack, fuelled (in part) by his increasing paranoia after seeing Hurley. But the big reveal of the episode, the really big deal, was Christian (Jack and Claire's father). In the 'future' he appeared to Jack (something that was enough to send Jack over the edge into anti stress meds and drinking), and in the past he took Claire away!! LEAVING Aaron!!!! Is Christian really Jacob? After all, the last time we saw him this season was when Hurley looked in through the window of the Cabin (the same Cabin that Hurley, Ben and Locke are all headed to). And if Christian really is alive, and something to do with the island, then it's entirely possible that he IS alive in the 'future', which would explain why Jack referred to him as if he were still alive at the end of season three (a flash forward which is still the furthest forward we've seen) Other notables - Jin catching Charlotte out, Juliette successfully removing Jack's Appendix. One last thing - when Kate referred to Aaron as her son, Jack exploded saying that she isn't even 'related to him' - does Future Jack know that Claire is his half sister? 4 more episodes to go this season.
