I think there's still more to the numbers than they're letting on.

I was thinking and I realized that Jacob must have still been present and active in the flash-sideways timeline, as Locke is obviously alive, whose healing was revealed to be the work of Jacob last season.

Ben's flash-sideways reveal was delicious.

I can't help but imagining a spin-off series set in the school.

Enhance recap of last week's episode says that the temp agency woman talking to Locke before Rose took over was the tarot card reader that Hugo's dad paid to do a reading on Hugo.  They make these reappearances of previous characters very subtle.

Don't know if this has been brought up, but I think considering what Ilana has said, Smokey took the form of Christian Shephard when Oceanic 815 crashed just as it took the form of John Locke when Ajira 316 landed.

Tonight's episode
-Jack has that scar...
-Jacob?  "Someone" is coming to the island, I need you to find "it"?  Huh?
-They so scurred of Sayid, lol
-Ouch, that leg's gone.
-hehehe, Hurley's in charge this season.
-Claire killing, now that I'd like to see more of.
-Did the Sickness make Claire more skillful or did Claire become skillful?
-Aha!  First evidence suggesting Christian is Smokey.
-What did happen to Christian's body...?
-Yeah, terrible father, can't even keep track of his kid.
-Why do people do that with the house key under a rock or statue?  Might as well leave the house alarm code on the door, too.
-Hey, a Lighthouse.
-:O !
-Dogen?  What a mindfrak!
-Uh oh, previews showed Jack breaking something with a sky background...kind of know what's going to happen here.
-He's been watching them!
-Oh no, oh no!  Don't do it--OMFG!
-Wonder if there was a name at 108 degrees.
-It's too late?  What!
-Jin, what are you up to...
-Her friend is Smokey?

This was a jawdropper for me.

Just read the plot on Lostpedia and...wow.
They seem to be delving into the core mysteries of the series, like the significance of the numbers and the Smoke Monster.

-Uncle Sayid?  Well that's unexpected.  And yet, somehow it all balances out.
-Awwwkward...
-No Sayid, anything but the shrubberies.
-What's so special about the baseball...unless, perhaps in this Flash sideways, Dogen lost his son?
-Let me get my temple straight: You got a temple wall, and a temple beyond that wall with an open courtyard...so they got ash covering the temple but not the temple wall?  Taking into account that the Smoke Monster was described as a security system, perhaps when Smokey was human, he was a guard protecting the temple and the wall is his turf posthumous?
-Wonder what happened to Kelvin in his Flash Sideways...
-Evil Incarnate
-Any bus driver surprise?  Anything?  Nope, aw well.  Hey, it's Jack.
-Hehe, Miles is like the only one left and he's not on the list.
-Still hot, though?  Well, maybe after she brushes her hair, sure.
-I doubt Sayid will succeed in killing Smokey.
-Damn, Dogen wasn't kidding about the speaking part.
-Evil Incarnate, Devil, it's all good.
-Keamy!?  WTF!  And yet, it makes perfect sense.
-Jin?!  This keeps getting better and better.
-Whoa!  Whoa!  Ah, hell no!
-Uh, Ben, hold on...nevermind.
-No Kate, she gonna kill you.
-lol, the way Ben backs away.
-Wow, Locke's army grew.

Oh.  My.  God.

I wonder if Sayid and Claire will get cured.

Btw, I think it's pretty obvious at this point that Jacob and the Man In Black are kind of like two sides of one person, personified in two persons (or something like that). The whole scale thing... yeah.

But didn't Miles say that Sayid was dead (Miles would know) and and it wasn't the pond that revived him?

However, Sayid clearly showed signs of life and drowning while in the pond.
