If you watch the Missing Pieces clips, #13 has Jack's dad in it from the very beginning, sending Vincent to wake Jack up...and he's wearing white sneakers.
I was dissapointed that not must happened, but it set up for some good stuff. I like the flash forwards a lot. It now makes you think about how the story is going to develop. Like when Jack said to Hurley, "I am thinking about growing a beard." Then the whole Oceanic 6 thing. And the guy who wanted info from Hurley.

Don't forget Charlie is dead but 'still here', It's almost like there's an alternate world or space that they can go back to and change maybe?...
I wonder if the 6 are Jack, Kate, Hurley, the couple Rose and Bernard and Juliet
Any guesses?
One of the six dies and nobody goes to the funeral...
We don't know that for sure.
If the writers hadn't already agreed with ABC on an ending date -- meaning they've fleshed out an overall story -- I would be very concerned about the direction of the show going X-Files on us. By that, I mean writers pushing the gas pedal to the floor without knowing where the brakes are, all the while assuring us they're in control.
This episode was designed to frustrate, but this is how Lost always starts the season. They start off packing the tension, pitting groups against each other, so they can slowly unfold it character by character. I have faith!!

The only think you know for sure with 'Lost' is nothing is for sure.

Some important things I'd like to keep track of in this thread:
Spoiler:
- Jack is officially intent on killing Locke. That was premeditated and not the heat of the moment. I don't care what anyone says, I think Jack wants to kill Locke because Locke is so successful in usurping Jack's authority, not because of anything else. Locke represents everything Jack hates about this world.
- Hurley saw Jacob. Does that mean Hurley is special like Locke?
- We all saw Christian, Jack's father. He was in the rocking chair. Is he the one that actually spoke to Locke? And what does that mean? Is it a metaphor for Locke to help Jack?
- Hurley apologized to Jack for siding with Locke in the flash forward. No matter what Locke does, I always believe there's some greater purpose for his actions. I think we're supposed to believe that he's the moral backbone of the show. But if Hurley, full of justice and goodness himself (dang near pure and innocent), is regretful, it makes me wonder where they're taking us with Locke. Has he been fool's gold all along? Perhaps the more we learn about Jacob, the more realize Locke is caught up in his own lust for power after being the one being put upon in his old life. That would be very disappointing. At least give me two sides to the story, like Mulder/Scully, faith/reason.
- We're back to the Kate/Jack/Sawyer love triangle. Kate and Jack are now on a collision course because Jack made his feelings crystal clear for Kate. Juliet's about to get dumped, I think. She's served her purpose and she's getting in the way of the story. Besides, Juliet doesn't need fixing. Kate does. I think we know how Jack rolls.
- Ben went with Locke for two reasons: because he doesn't trust the boat people and because -- I hope we all see this -- Ben knows he can still manipulate Locke. Jack is out of his reach.
