Some things you may have missed so far this season if you are only a casual watcher of Lost and have not yet taken it to the same unhealthy level that I have:
- Jin and Sun are not married in the alternate universe: they are not wearing wedding rings and the airport employee calls Sun ‘Ms. Paik’ which is her maiden name
- Desmond is married in the alternate universe: he’s wearing a wedding ring
- Jack does not have a problem with alcohol in the alternate universe: he only has one bottle of alcohol instead of the two that he had in the season 1 flashbacks, and he spills it and doesn’t drink it.
- The title of last night’s ep “What Kate Does” mirrors a season 1 ep titled “what Kate Did.”
- The infection that Dogen said that Sayid had sounds like the infection from the early seasons that made Desmond wear a hazmat suit to go outside the hatch.
- Ethan was Claire’s doctor in the alternate universe and he tried to steal Claire’s baby in the original storyline. He was introduced in season 1 as Ethan Rom, but we later found out that he was the son of Horace Goodspeed and he introduced himself last night as Ethan Goodspeed. Also, he was born on the island, so I think his appearance last night is going to be important.
- The stuffed killer whale that Kate saw in Claire’s bag in the off-island timeline is the same stuffed killer whale that Kate gave to newborn Aaron in season 2.
