I'm going to jump right in with my first thought - Sun killed Jae. The backstory was all about illuminating how Sun will lie or betray to cover her ass, right? And we saw that - despite what Colleen the Other said - Sun's willing to pull the trigger. So I wonder if we're coming to a flashback showing Sun going to Jae's room just after Jin left, confronting him, and shoving him out the window.
This ep. started more questions than answering ones we already have. Why are Sawyer and Kate breaking rocks? Is this more part of this test they're under, or are they actually excavating something? Benry has been on the island his entire life? Maybe a kid of the original Dharma scientists? Twice now Sayyid has been outsmarted/outmaneuvered by the Others, losing first Jack, Kate and Sawyer, next the boat - this guy's a moron. I wonder if now he has something to prove.
So the CIA guy who was in the hatch with Desmond (played by Ohio's own Clancy Brown!!) is not an Other and apparently the Others had no clue to his or Desmond's existence ( as evidencedd by Benry wigged out by there being a boat).
Loved the Red Sox bit. That - coupled with GI Jane Colleen supposedly knowing all about Sun - further reinforces what the CD player told us last week - that the Others have off-island access. To echo Benry's question, why AREN'T the Others leaving the island, then, if they can get off?
So last week I was pretty sure that Carl - the guy in the cagge across from Sawyer - was a plant. Now, with Alex (Rousseau's daughter and a seeming weak link in the Others) asking about him, I wonder. Alex also raises an interesting question - the Others took her years ago from Rousseau. So the Others steal chldren. The plane crashes, kids are swiped the first night from the Tailies - but not by this group of Others. There are competing groups of Others, but are they all doing similar things?
And, finally, it looks like the Others want to assimilate Jack. Eeeeenteresting. I also found it notable that Benry/Benjamin Linus promised to "take" Jack home, instead of send. Do Benry and the Others (who I think scored a no. 1 Billboard hit in 1962) also plan on going?
Like I said, more questons than answers. Your thoughts?

I'll post more later, but what the f are you doing awake at 4:42 a.m.?
I dunno why it gives that time. I posted that over my Dharma Flakes at 7:42 a.m.
The Sun theory is very intriguing. I hadn't thought of that.
The idea that the Others come and go from the island, as Ben/Henry alluded too, along with all the background research that they seem to have on each Lostie, continues to raise the possibility in my mind that that passengers on this flight were somehow preselected for some sort of experiment. I had discounted that theory, but now, I'm starting to wonder again.
I know Benry's reaction in episode one seemed to indicate surprise about the plane, but man, they seem to have accumulated a lot of research in 60 +/- days.
And if they do have access to the outside world, why haven't they bought a flat panel TV at the Sydney Best Buy? You think they'd upgrade the old closed circuit system.
The Red Sox joke was a nice touch.
I'm not so sure Benry wants to "turn" jack, he wants to use him for something. Remember, he said "I'll take you home." Unless that's a metaphor for Benry's cult.
Okay, the posting clock must be on PST.
I'm not convinced Sun killed Jae. Sadly, I think that's too easy and the producers like to complicate things. I think the father, or someone else did it. Wasn't that guy supposed to leave to go to the US to marry some other chick or do all Korean people just look alike? (*doh! TOTALLY UN-P.C. JOKE!*) Remember Sun tried to get Jin to go to America with her,leaving me thinking, "oh we don't really know how they ended up on the plane do we?", but that's not necessarily why.
Who knows what the deal is with the others. How could Benry and the Others not konw about Desmond's hatch buddy? Seriously? I'm just thinking dude never told them about Desmond and the boat. With all those observation rooms someone had to know something right? Maybe not.Maybe Benry just thought Desmond had escaped with the boat. I dunno. I'm too logical.
Colleen vs. Juliette: anyone see conflict among the Others leading to the "mistake" Sawyer was talking about?!
Why aren't they leaving?! I mean they're creepy, but if I was living in an island paradise with cool (we have to assume they think the group is relatively cool or tolerable)and had food dropped on me and lived in a suburban island nest I wouldn't leave either. Seriously.
