Okay, here's my take on "Who's in the coffin?" and "Why is Kate so repulsed by the thought of attending said person's funeral?" ...and most of this is based on an off-the-cuff comment my wife made the other day while we watched the Season 3 DVDs (and please tolerate the first observation that may seem racist, it is simply an observation based on the limited clues available in the funeral-home scene).   The funeral home appears to be in a black neighborhood, as indicated by several black men seen standing on the corner when Jack pulls up in front of the funeral home.  You don't see black men casually hanging out in Asian, Hispanic, or Caucasian neighborhoods (especially in a TV production, plus I believe the writers, directors, creators jammed that scene with all sorts of clues that will only become apparent as the series winds down).  So that puts suspicion strongly on Walt or Michael.  The coffin appears too small to be a full grown adult, so that means it has to be Walt.

Now why would Kate be disgusted by the idea of going to Walt's funeral.  Well, I really suspect that Walt has been influencing the events on the island since the very beginning, if he didn't in fact create the whole "island" himself (with powers similar to Franklin Richards from the Fantastic Four).  He reads a comic book about polar bears and *bam* there's a polar bear on the island.  Locke appears to have a connection with the island, and the first person he befriends is Walt.  Walt appears to have issues with his father, and it appears that everyone of our Losties on the island are working out father issues (as shown in the flashbacks ... only Charlie appears to be the exception to this).  Michael and Walt leave the island, but Walt re-appears to Locke and tells him he still has work to do.  Finally, ... Season 4 spoiler coming up




Michael is coming back to the island, so maybe Walt sends him back (pure speculation on my part at this point)



Ultimately, the Losties figure out all their troubles are because of Walt, that Walt sent them to the island, and many of them hate Walt because of it.  But not Jack; he wants to go back, and when he sees that the only one who could send him back is dead, Jack becomes suicidal.  Plus, it may also be the reason why the Others are interested in children ... maybe there is some legend about how a "child shall lead them" -- hence the interest in the young Ben Linus who showed a connection to the island, and now that he's no longer a child, the others are looking for the next child that will have that connection, and they just start grabbing all the kids they can, or start trying to reproduce their own (but can't).

(Granted, I still don't know what the hell the Monster is, or who was sitting in Jacob's chair?)

Good theory except for the fact that the Darma Init had polar bear cages long before Walt showed up on the island. I think old smokiee feeds off the subconscieness of the castaways and can morph into things that it finds there. Walt is the special one that can control old smokiee. Basically, the island reminds me of that away planet from the classic Star Trek where the crew starts to see things from their own imagination.

The strike might end soon, but we won't see the second half this season unless they extend the season into the summer.

Not disappointed with the premier at all.

I thought the season opener was great last night.  I'm definitely enjoying the "flash forward" aspect that was introduced in last season's finale, and it raises a lot more questions.  Also, maybe others have seen this before, but I hadn't - its a mobisode featuring Vincent (and a couple other characters that I won't mention just in case of spoilers) - you can view it HERE.  Its called "So It Begins".  I'm not sure when it was released or anything, because like I mentioned, I just saw it this morning (on the GH forums), but it is "official".

Last night's opener was good - just wish so much of it wasn't recap, as I've laredy been watching S3 on DVD.  Where did they all meet up towards the end of the show?  Was that the front section of the plane where Kate, Charlie, and Jack watched the pilot get killed early in S1?

Yep.

I enjoyed last night's episode.  Not as many "Holy ****" moments as the season 3 opener, but still good.  It'll be interesting to see where all the flash forwards happen time wise and how they all fit together.  For instance last night's FF happened before season 3's finale chronologically.  That means we get to see Jack completely lose it.  Something happens that makes him want to go back to the island, where last night he mentioned he never wants to go back.

It just sucks that we only get 8 episodes this season and will most likely have to wait almost a year for any new episodes.

Great episode, kinda weird with the flash forwards.  Apparently only 6 people leave the island...and someone is looking for everyone else.  Plenty of questions that most likely won't be answered.  :D

Maybe Sylar thinks the Oceanic 6 are a group of super heros and is hunting them down one by one. That is why Jack wants to get back to his island batcave.

So i am totally going to once again push my theory that Jacob is Christian. If you watch that scene where Hurley is near the cabin in slow motion you can see Christian sitting int he chair.


EDIT!!!!

 :o :o :o :o

Brian thanks for the clip!

At the end of tonight's episode, when Ben said "Because I have a man on that boat" my first thought was that it was Michael. 

This show has sucked me right back in again -- I hope this season can keep up this level of intrigue.

Anyone else notice "Takes helmet off", "I'm Daniel Faraday, I'm here to rescue you"
                         
"Takes helmet off", I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you" reference?

Cool episode. I think they want revenge on Ben becuase of the Purge.

That's kind of what I was thinking as well.  Another good episode last night I thought.  It always leaves me counting the days until the next episode, and really is one of the most well-made shows on TV I think.  Nice SW reference (again) on there.  I remember last week when they had the "enhanced" version of last year's season finale, the "pop up info" revealed that Hurley using the VW van to save everyone "back at the camp" was a reference to the Falcon coming in to save the day as well.

Don't forget the more obvious reference last night, when Sawyer referred to Ben as "Yoda". ;)
