Last night's episode of Lost - 316

I have a few jumbled thoughts about last night's episode of Lost :

I hate it when someone asks Ben a question and he doesn't give an answer. Jack: "Who is that woman?" Ben starts talking about the Apostle Thomas. I understood what he was saying with the whole Thomas thing (believe! believe!) And the fact that John will come alive.

Eloise Hawkings is Ellie (army girl from 1954 on island) because at the church she had a picture of the island that was taken by someone from the u.s. army in 1954.

The episode was called 316 - That was the flight number.  We know there is a John 3:16 in the Bible which says something like:

John 3:16 states: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

In the Bible, Jacob is the great-great-grandfather of Aaron.So maybe Jack’s grandad, Ray, is the SON of Jacob?  I really don’t think we saw that scene of Jack in the retirement home just because of the shoes.

I really didn’t like this episode…I think it’s getting a little haphazard.  Weren’t you expecting a better way of them getting back to the island?  Locke had to die for that? Of course, we know he's not really dead. He will come back to life later. There was a full cabin of people that didn’t even REMOTELY resemble the first flight, but Locke had to die so there’d be a casket on the plane? I don’t know. This show is so smart and so good, and every detail is paid such attention to in other regards, I feel cheated that such a big thing that we’ve been building up to for so long was completely skimmed over, hoping we’d buy it.

It really bothers me that Jack let Kate get away with the “don’t ever ask about Aaron again” thing. This is a boy he was raising as his own son AND who was his real life nephew. You would think he would want to know what happened to him.
