Was this the first time that a flashback was so directly related to what was being discussed at the same time during the episode?

Yeah, I thought that was pretty damn interesting myself.

That would be pretty sweet. Locke whips out his knife, "Stuck In The Middle With You" starts playng ... ratings go back up.

Maybe he was one of the people Juliet felt would be happy with a change in leadership when she got Jack to make his powerplay at the operating table.

It's possible, if the sub was really destroyed, that we could see a royal freak out by some of the Others who needed that safety net to know they could go back, and they align with the Losties rather than Ben.

I honestly think they just put shit like that in to get the nerds online talking about it so they can sit in their office and laugh at how obsessed people are with the show.

Analyzing the symbols on the tray... they look suspiciously like the hieroglyphs that were on a piece of wreckage recovered from the crash of an alien spacecraft in Roswell, NM, in 1947. If Locke is in possession of such artifacts, then it opens up all kinds of new storytelling possibilities.

That, or they're supposed to be cattle brands. (Note that the tray has cowboy boots on it, so it's possibly a western motif.)

I like the Roswell thing, better, though.

Isn't it just possible he thought it was a cool tray because of that or a souvenir?

Hadn't thought of the cattle brand thing, but I'd wager that's correct.

Not absolute immortality like Highlander, but immunity from disease and possibly aging. That is why Ben is so concerned about having gotten cancer and Locke said something like how did you manage to get sick.

Same boat that Desmond was sailing around in circles when he tried using it to escape the island, though.

I'm still expecting Michael to show up back on the island in a Desmond-esque way.
