Hey Ratbastid... some thoughts:

1) Is Henry Gale "Him"? I think so.

2) Where's Michael headed? Is he really chugging off to freedom, or will he redeem himself somehow? Or is he headed back to the beach camp? Or looping around to catch the Others by surprise? I don't think they are going to leave for good. Michael is a good person, who has done some very bad things. He will attempt to redeem himself. Besides, I don't think they can get rid of Walt and his voodoo without explaining things.

3) "We're the good guys!"... You know, I think they might just be! I am vacilating on this.

4) What happened in the Hatch? Are Locke, Eko and Desmond OK? I predict that they are safe. Locke and Eko are two of the most interesting characters on the show. I think the blast doors will have dropped and protected them from the majority of the damage. As for Desmond, I would like to see him survive and given the appearence of Pen at the end of the episode, I have a feeling he will (besides, I think his flashbacks will give us more of Libby's back story. There are still a ton of unanswered questions where she is concerned.)

5) What's Kelvin's story? How'd he get to the Island? I am not convinced he is dead. That looked staged and Desmond didn't really examine him all that well. I predict he will be found with the Others in their camp. At the very least we will get more of him in his flashbacks.

6) Why did the blacklight come on when Locke was under the blast door? Kelvin (and his predecessor) must have known about the blacklight, yet their faked lockdowns didn't trigger it, and they painted the doormap without it, but knew that the blacklight would make it visible. I don't think the door closed enough for the black light to come on. The lights didn't come on until the door was almost completely closed. I think they made the map as they did because they knew they were being observed and didn't want the map to be seen on the camera.

7) What's up with the "door" hatch in Yurtville? Is it a fake? Or is it sealed off? Why did the Others have it under armed guard? The whole places was a staged set. It was there to make an impression on Michael. It might be a collapsed hatch but most likely it is just doors that go to nowhere. The guards were there to add to the image they were feeding Michael.

8) What's up with the Russians and with Penny Widmore? Is she looking for the island too? Interesting, I had assumed she was looking for Desmond. But she might be looking for the Island alone. She may know something of what they are doing and is trying to locate them for her own nefarious reasons...

Interesting that it was portuguese. An odd nationality to choose. I will have to think about that... they are either Portuguese or Brazillian.
