After recently re-watching the Season 2 finale, here are some observations and questions:

* The men in the trailer at the end of the episode were in a very snowy, cold region. This has to be related to the infamous polar bear from Season One.

* Ever since Sayid located that large cord coming from the ocean (that he followed into the jungle until being trapped by Rousseau), I’ve been convinced that there is an underwater hatch. Judging from the ABC promo, it looks like I might be right. We see Jack opening a hatch door, only to be thrown aside by rushing water. Also, if you remember, on the hatch blast door map that Locke saw, there was a line leading down to a hatch outside of the main octagon of hatches, on the lower left side. I’ve always assumed that it denoted an underwater hatch. I hope I’m right.

* Desmond originally crashed his boat on the island and Kelvin ‘discovered’ him washed ashore…was the crash caused by Mr. Widmore, Penny’s father? Was he supposed to end up on the island? Did Kelvin work for Mr. Widmore?

* Elizabeth (who we’re not sure was actually Libby or her evil twin) mentioned to Desmond in the coffee shop that her husband got sick and died. This vague sickness, which has been referred to by Rousseau and others on many occasions, must be tied to the island.

* With Jack, Kate and Sawyer in captivity, who will emerge as the leader back on the beach? The fate of both Eko and Locke is unknown (after the hatch explosion), Charlie is a recovering addict, Jin hasn’t learned enough English, and Bernard is…a dentist. That leaves Sayid as the obvious choice.

* Will Michael and Walt follow Henry Gale’s coordinates and attempt to return ‘home’ on their boat? Will they meet up with Sayid, Jin & Sun, who have Desmond’s sailboat? Or will they return to the island to help the friends that Michael betrayed?

* What is with the Charles Dickens connection? The book that Desmond carries around with him is ‘Our Mutual Friend’ and episode 1 of Season Three is titled ‘A Tale of Two Cities.’

Will we find out:

Who the father of Sun’s baby is?

Why Locke was in a wheelchair?

What Jack’s tattoos mean?

Whatever happens, my expectations are high and I can’t wait to see what the Others call ‘home.’
