There's No Place Like Home

When last we watched, we learned why the Oceanic Six (Jack, Kate, Sayid, Sun, Hugo, and Aaron; well, 5 of the six) have been lying about the plane crash. We also learned that the Island wants them all to come back (or at least, Ben say's that the Island want's them back). It has been appying pressure to Jack and Hurley. Jack seems to be having mental breakdown and emotional issues, along with an alcohol problem. An Hurley has been having 'visitations' from the dead, and is still being haunted by the numbers. I wonder if any of the others have been feeling the pressure to return. Kate, on the other hand, has been told by Claire in a dream, not to bring Aaron back to the Island.

The Island has been moved, so even if they all wanted to go back, they don't know how to get there. And even if they knew 'where' the Island is, they don't know 'when' it is. Although, presumably, if they all got together, the Island would bring them back. They will have to do it soon, though, if they are going to get Locke there with them, as carrying a coffin around is bound to raise some eyebrows.

Sun is getting devious. She used the Oceanic Airlines settlement money to buy a controlling interest in his company because she blames him for Jin's death.

Jack learned that Claire is his half-sister, and Aaron is his nephew. So his inability to be with Kate, because of Aaron, is part of the problem that he is having.

Desmond and Penny are together, but Desmond was not on the plane, so he is not one of the "Six". Ben has sworn to kill Penny, to get revenge on Widmore for having Alex killed (for some reason, that was breaking the rules).

Left on the Island is Sawyer (he swam ashore, after jumping out of the helicopter), Miles (the ghost whisperer), Daniel (the Physisist), Charlotte (the anthropologist), Lock, Claire, Bernard, Rose, Alpert, Juliet and the Others (sans Ben).

Dead are Keamy (the ass-hole mercenary), Micheal, Danielle, Alex, and of course, Charley.

It is not clear whether Jin is dead or not. He was jumping off the boat when the C4 exploded. I don't recall what happened to Frank, the helicopter pilot. Did he die in the helicopter, or was he rescued along with the others by Penny?

So are we ready for Season 5 yet?
