They blew up the house Claire was in and besides a few scratches she is perfectly fine. I had a hard time believing that one.

Squib placement on the red shirts could have been better.. they all got shot dead center in the chest? Lame.
Also, I think Ben delayed meeting up with Locke & co. for a reason; Alex doesn't seem to be done just yet. Doesn't the asian guy from the freighter talk to dead spirits or something? Wouldn't he have an interest in Ben's "dead" daughter?

Even so, it isn't exactly clear what happened in that video. It seems to involve some sort of time travel, but you really have to draw your own conclusion as to what really happened.

The clue here, as previously mentioned, is the coat. The Dr. uses a different name in each of the orientatian films but Ben is wearing a coat with that uses the Doctor's 'Orchid' name and logo.
We'll probably see the station soon enough.

Finally got a chance to watch this.
I thought it was hilarious when all the main cast members were like "Run for cover!" and then there were all these other people randomly walking around in the background and no one was bothering to tell them what was going on.
Then they got shot and no one cared.
I also liked it when Claire said "I'll live" and the Asian guy said something "Don't bet on it." Nice bit of foreshadowing there.

So what's official and what's not? What's ''canon?''
CUSE: The mobisodes are in canon. The Orchid video is in canon. The videogame is not in canon. It's unfair for the audience to go to ancillary sources in order to really understand the show. Even the things like the mobisodes, which are in canon, aren't essential to your understanding of the show. These things are just added bonuses.
LINDELOF: The only true canon is the show itself.

Yeah, I mean Jesus H. Christ, they're practically twins. 
Alex is a definite hottie and I for one hope she's not gone for good.
