One thing is at least settled now - the Oceanic 6 have been identified as Sun, Sayid, Jack, Kate, Hurley and Aaron. The previews for the next show gave that information, so at least we know for certain now about Aaron.
When they shot Karl I was thinking, crap, is that the big deal? Then Rousseau gets up and gets popped. Didn't see that one coming. I think Alex's calls that she is Ben's daughter are unnecessary, I think Ben had some of his people kill Karl and Rousseau to keep them from getting any closer to his daughter.
So, we have a little more information about the plane at the bottom of the ocean. The question is - did Windmore put it there, or did Ben put it there?

This is interesting.....
| Quote: | The more I think about Charles Widmore as a merciless Lex Luthorian villain, meanwhile, the less I'm convinced. First of all, a quick DVR pause on that invoice for the ''old'' 777 plane — a model that was only ten years old in 2004 — reveals Widmore purchased it for $450,000. Which is a bargain considering Boeing's website quotes the cheapest new 777 at $200 million. That's not to say that Widmore definitively isn't behind the fake Oceanic 815 wreckage. Just that Friendly's ''proof'' smelled bogus to me. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if we don't have an Emperor Palpatine situation going on here, i.e., a mastermind playing both sides of a faux war against each other so he can ascend to power.
And that mastermind could only be Ben. As Miles — who evidently escaped Locke's grenade-in-the-mouth gambit unscathed — said to his captors last night, ''[Ben] wants to survive. And considering a week ago you had a gun to his head and now he's eating pound cake, I'd say he's a guy who gets what he wants.'' Indeed, only Ben could connive to send Michael onto the freighter and make him think he's a suicide bomber, and then make the bomb's mechanism pop up a flag that read ''NOT YET.'' (Note that ''yet'': Those explosives looked quite real, and one of the rules of storytelling is bombs are meant to go boom.) (Doc Jensen stand-in extracurricular challenge No. 1: The code for the bomb was 71776, i.e., July 1776, i.e., the month our fair country was born. What does it mean? I'll leave that to you; my guess would be that it's just so it'd be easy for Michael to remember, but this is Lost we're talking about here.) Only Ben could argue that he doesn't kill innocent people in war and somehow make you believe it. Only Ben could devastate Michael by coolly pointing out that the Others never asked him to kill Ana Lucia and Libby; he did that all by himself. And only Ben could have the chutzpah to follow that up by telling Michael he's now one of ''the good guys.''
I especially liked how, when Michael broke down sobbing after Ben spoke those chilling words, we finally cut from the flashback into a close-up of Sayid, the last man to lose it in the face of his collusion with the talented Mr. Linus. Of course, that's in the future; the Sayid of the present believes working with Ben is tantamount to selling your soul, and so he had no compunction about selling out Michael to Captain Gault. It was a solid cliff-hanger-y moment, but it left me wondering about two things: One, we've heard precious little from Desmond since ''The Constant''; all he seems to do is follow Sayid around and look perplexed. And two, as my other Lost-obsessed colleague Dan Snierson first suggested to me, I think the captain already knows Kevin Johnson is really Michael Dawson. Forget Miles' psychic intuition that Kevin wasn't really Kevin. If Charles Widmore is really as ruthlessly capable as we've been told, don't you think he would've vetted Kevin Johnson as thoroughly as he did Miles, Lapidus, Faraday, and Charlotte? (Doc Jensen stand-in extracurricular challenge No. 2: Other than the famous NBA player, do y'all think there's any significance to the name Kevin Johnson, or that Kevin's birthday was July 8, 1963? Google and Wikipedia are shooting blanks, and the best I can come up with is that Kevin Johnson was also my high school assistant principal, who chaperoned a three-week trip I took to Moscow and saved my life by pulling me out of oncoming traffic outside Red Square. So there's that. Otherwise, I'm inclined to think it's a name that's just average enough not to get noticed without raising any flags that it's a fake.)
