1. Jacob built the cabin, and then he died. Now he inhabits the cabin and tells The Leader what to do. Christian is also dead, inhabits the cabin, and tells people what to do (not just The Leader, though, as he appeared to Michael, who had never met him before). Locke was told by Alpert that in order to fix things, he would have to die. Separately, he was told that now that the bullet was out, the Island would take care of everything else. Either Locke is going to end up being resurrected by having everyone return to the Island, or Locke is going to be moving into Jacob's cabin.
2. The white-haired lady will turn out to be Faraday's mother.
2b. Desmond going to meet Faraday's mother will somehow be tied to the fact that she recognized him before and _knew_ that he didn't belong there.

Hence the possibility that Locke might be resurrected once everyone returns to the island (resurrection = ultimate form of healing). If he's not, he's cabin-bound for sure.

Ah, but is she? Ben jumped forward in time several years (to present-day, I believe), while Desmond left the island only a month or three after 815 crashed. There's plenty of time in between for him to have found Mrs. Faraday before she had to go to SoCal. I mean, there was at least one scene that flashed backwards to a point where the O6 hadn't even split up yet (they were discussing their story on Penny's boat), so it's not out of the question that Desmond's dream could be out of synch with the whole regrouping thing.
Alternately, he might just end up being put in touch with her, rather than meeting her face-to-face.

I'm thinking those people who want to cut off Juliet's hand are some Black Rock people or Rousseaus people. I still think Rousseau had something to do with the Black Rock. And I want to know why her husband and the others in her group "got sick". I know that we get some info on her later in the season, or so I heard.

I think Charlotte is now on the island twice. As a baby and an adult. This is probably not good for your health. Look in Daniel's notebook under "Time No-No's"

Charles Widmore was on the Black Rock. Somehow, they found the island, and he discovered the energy source (thus building the frozen donkey wheel). Remember when Ben turned the wheel to move the island, and said whoever did so could never come back? Apparently Widmore moved the wheel way back then, and traveled to the future. He can't go back to the island, but he's been trying to find it and sending people to secure it so he can exploit it ever since.

I still think the islanders are gods for the record.

All in all, friggin great episode.

I've started calling that rock face that "Candle" got called out to see "the source of the wibbly wobbly timey wimey energy". Obviously poor Daniel gets stuck back in the 70's at some point.
Charlotte has the Impending Nosebleed of Time-Travel Death, obvs, like we've seen before, and like we saw in the guy at the rock face.
Highlights were all the Hurley scenes -- wonderfully written and acted -- and Rose's smackdowns of Frogurt.
And of course, the gratuitously shirtless Sawyer.

I think the paramilitary guys were Widmore's men from the past (hence the old weapons and their accents). I don't think they were the ones shooting the arrows.
There were some awesome moments. My favorite? oh hard to pick but I sure did like seeing that annoying Sh*t neal frogurt get it in the chest multiple times with flaming arrows. EPIC WIN.

@NerD!!!: My pleasure. I _knew_ I would see that guy blow-up again, almost like a new memory of the past I sent myself from the future. Or something.

I was wondering if it might have been Charlotte.

It's so nice to see a show know where it is going.

Locke's dead legs I think were a matter of faith and not some kind of future/past connection. The place where Locke was sitting when Richard arrived was basically where Boone and the plane fell, whereas Locke started losing motor control in his legs at least 50 ft before that.

i just don't get the decision. and i especially don't understand jack's complete 180-turnaround in about 10 seconds at the end of season 4.

Second, you've made the assumption that Widmore staged the fake wreckage of Flight 815. If Widmore staged the wreckage, he knows that 815 made it to the island, and he knows the lie is a lie. It doesn't hurt or help him. If Widmore did not stage the wreckage, then he has no idea the Losties were there until Sun tells him, at which point he must also keep the lie because he wouldn't want competition.
Last, remember that Keamy's orders were to extract Ben Linus and kill everyone else on the island. If Widmore finds out the island is still accessible, he'll just send someone else to finish the job.

you make my argument in your 2nd point: "If Widmore staged the wreckage, he knows that 815 made it to the island, and he knows the lie is a lie. It doesn't hurt or help him. If Widmore did not stage the wreckage, then he has no idea the Losties were there until Sun tells him, at which point he must also keep the lie because he wouldn't want competition."
but the things is there is no doubt in the minds of the O6 that widmore faked an 815 crash. that is their EXPLICIT reason for lying (well that plus the mercs, but they go hand-in-hand). therefore, lying about the crash wouldn't hinder widmore in any way. and, back to your first point, if other people knew about the island there would be some competition and that would likely make it HARDER for widmore to find the island.
it just seems like a half assed thing the writers threw together at the last minute to allow some of the top billed cast to not be on location 24/7
