lost!

So so happy it's back.  Some quick notes / ideas, just to get these out of my head.

• Oceanic 6: Jack, Kate, Hurley, obviously. Also Michael?  Someone on Lostpedia had a theory this morning that one of the 6 could be someone who wasn't on the flight -- one of the others or maybe Desmond, and that they've nabbed the identity of one of the folks still on the island.
• Jack's father in the cabin?  Seriously creepy.
  
• Re. Michael:  Perrineau was in the credits as being a recurring character, so I think he's coming back soon. (I'd love it if this happened next week -- in Tim Goodman's (p)review of the season both ep1 and ep2 rated an "Oh. My. God." so I'm hopeful that Michael comes back next week.
• Hurley's hallucinations are just awesome.  The hand pressed up against the glass in the police station FTW.
• I love that the Jack / Locke dichotomy is back -- they played it up big time in the season preview, and it was obviously a HUGE part of this episode.  Man of science, man of faith.
• Just who, exactly, is on the boat?
