I was surprised that when the island finally stopped moving through space and time it came to rest in 1973/4.
I think somehow some of the "Others" are people who have been through similar experiences as the "Lost" victims. For example, one of the flight attendants: Jack remembered her from the flight, but she was with the "Others" acting as one of them when he saw her. (How did she become so instantly accepted, when the "Others" weren't so hospitable to the rest of the passengers?) Perhaps she had been on the island before and left before it was ok to leave, so she had to be stranded there again to "make things right."
What these "things" are that have to be made right, I haven't a clue.
And Richard Alpert??????, is he some sort of guide for all of these "travellers"?
Alpert's a big mystery to me. He said last night that the pylons couldn't keep his people out, the truce was the only thing that kept them away.
And he never ages!!! Is he going through his own flashes of time??

Questions and more questions....Can hardly wait until the next episode!!
