Now that makes more sense.

I really cannot believe that with all the anagram speculation and the endless internet discussion about the connections people had in the past, that the brilliant writers now threw in a magical number sequence into the mix.
Perfect

Why would anyone want to get on Michael's boat? There are only two things that can happen - you die at sea or you get rescued. And if anyone gets rescued, they'll tell everyone about the island and the other people there.
So the best move is to just chill on the island and let other risk their lives.

Yeah, if you can direct them to the island. That would probably be very difficult.

Or maybe I'm just looking too far into it heh.
I think it was definately a Curb Your Enthusiasm reference. That's two great nods to two of my favorite shows (this and "The Office" one a few weeks back).

I loved it when Hurley was being arrested, he goes to his mom "So you don't believe in curses mom?". Classic.

My sister had a fun theory... which got me to thinking (should I spoilerize this, its really crazy)
Spoiler:
Probably not, but who knows with this show.

You think there will be a rescue
It's the x-files revisited, I think I should start a poll on how many seasons of lost there will be, I am thinking 9

What was the room number of the hotel Jack's dad was staying in? I think I saw other room numbers to an apartment or something for another character. No clue what it was now though.
Interesting that Hurley is another character with a father "issue" (where was he and what happened to him?).

Even if Locke and Boone saw the numbers on the hatch, they probably didn't see the numbers written on the French woman's stuff that Sayid had, since no one seems to share things on the island.
Maybe it's just a serial number?

Was it ever mentioned in Boone's flashback episode that he once owned a box company? Somebody made that point to me today but I don't remember that. Supposedly it was said in passing as he walked off the tennis court.
