VERY interesting point from US writer Paul Levinson about the Oceanic Six

Spoiler: "Keamy, as we know, is on a mission to kill everyone on the island. The only way to be at least somewhat safe from him is to run fast into the jungle... Jack can't run. One of the Oceanic Six. Kate can't run very fast with Aaron in her arms (Sawyer will give Aaron to Kate before this). Kate and Aaron are Two and Three of the Six. (Sawyer can run fast into the jungle.) Sun is pregnant and can't run very fast. Fourth of the Oceanic Six. Hurley (who will be reunited with the beach people) also can't run fast. Fifth of the Oceanic Six. And Sayid will be needed to pilot the boat ... Sixth of the Six." Perhaps they don't escape on the helicopter at all! Apparently it was Paul's wife who spotted the common link between the 6, and that bit with Jack and his appendix had to be in there for a reason.
