I guess I don't understand that there's a mystery of how Ben knows that Jin survived the freighter explosion. They must have internet access as Ben knew the complete nitty gritty history of each of the 815 survivors. Who was a surgeon, who was wanted by the law, who tortured people in the military, etc. The Others would be able to notify Ben easily with an email, website, secret code, whatever. The Others on the island must have a way of contacting the outside world.

I think it was easier and cleaner for the O6 to tell the lie that everyone else died in the crash than try the Claire died in childbirth lie. Her mother would then want to know about every minute of Claire's time on the island which would involve a lot more convoluted lies for the O6 to remember. I can't blame Kate at all for keeping Aaron either. She delivered him and helped Claire, sort of, care for him for three months. To return to the mainland and let child welfare services take him would have been cruel, imo. Then again, I'm not on the Kate Hate bandwagon either.

Ms. Hawkins and her 70 hour warning. It wasn't clear to me whether the "God help us all" was in reference to anyone who had been on the island or the population of the entire world. would the time warping consume everyone who had been on the island regardless of where they were or encompass the population of the world??? For some reason, I was assuming it was the world that was in danger, but now I'm not so sure that was her meaning.

With the island skipping perilously around in time...you think the Others had a decent internet connection for long enough? :p

Is the island skipping around in time or only the plane/freighter survivors? If it's the island, then Richard and the Others should be along side Locke/Sawyer group but they aren't. Only the handful seem to be effected by the flash of light.

The whole whispers thing is headache & nosebleed inducing. If it's melding of conversations from different times, it's odd that Michael was able to hear it on the freighter. Unless, as someone mentioned above about the rafts, it was in one of the ringed layers near the island.
