So glad LOST is back !! I enjoyed that first hour re-cap show. Jack & Claire...half brother/sister ? Didn't catch that, and I thought I watched the show carefully. Do tell !
I'm not sure about the leader part.. but I think Walt has powers that allow him to conjour up whatever he's thinking about...... he was reading the comic book that had the polar bear in it and the one apeared on the island..... in a flash back he was reading a book on birds and one flew into the window
Jack's father had an affair with a woman in Australia. He went to see her in the rain with Ana Lucia... The woman can be heard saying "You'll never see her" or something like that. I think Claire is the "her".
here's another topic to ponder. If Alex is Ben's daughter and Danielle claims that her daughter Alex was taken from her ... are they one in the same? Is Alex Ben's real daughter or adopted? Is Danielle lucid or delirious? Did she really kill her friends that crashed with her or was she part of the experiments and escaped? Or is Alex the real daughter of some past relationship between Ben and Danielle before the island? She was 7 months pregnant when she was shipwrecked on the island with her lover Robert... but it was never said that he was the father.
this should blow your mind too.... this is a map of connections prior to the airport in Australia. http://www.lostpedia.com/images/6/6c/Lostconnections.gif
