Who are the other three?

Note: sometimes, I get friends who read this blog not knowing that I'm going to reference plot points from a recently aired show that they've saved to their Tivo. I won't go into great detail about last night's Lost "The Beginning of the End," but if you haven't watched it yet, "star" this one in Google Reader and read it later. That's a long way of saying: SPOILERS.

Questions and observations:

So Hurley gets off the island, along with Jack and Kate, making up half of the "Oceanic Six." Who are the other three that are occasionally followed by paparazzi and sought for autographs? (Apparently, it had nothing to do with choosing "Team Jack" or "Team Locke.") And Hurley freaking out in a c-store, driving recklessly and winding up in a nuthouse? When did Hugo become Britney?

Ben and Rousseau seemed to have some "parenting" issues.

Death becomes Charlie, no?

The basketball scene obviously takes place before the "we've got to go back!" scene from the s3 finale, since Jack considers growing a beard and vows never to go back to the island. Also, despite his fragile mental condition, an NBA team should consider signing Hurley, since he doesn't miss.

Why did Hurley lie about knowing Ana Lucia? Granted, I would have too, since she was so fucking annoying.

Who was the freaky "Oceanic Lawyer" who didn't have any business cards? Who does he want to know about?

Who was in Jacob's cabin? Was that Jacob? Jack's dad? Who was the "eyeball" in cabin? Locke?

Does Hurely's painting of the igloo and eskimo have anything to do with polar bears and/or Penny's "listening team?

How did Locke know about Charlie's message (Not Penny's Boat)? Did they just skip over the part where Hurley tells him? Did I miss something? Did this strike anyone else as strange?

Jack "shooting" Locke. Holy Frak! He pulled the trigger! Equally cool was Locke's calm reaction about the gun not being loaded.

Line of the night: "Better call the boat. Tell them she's getting a really big bundle of firewood."

Jorge Garcia? Dude, you can act.
