There are coincidences in the show that are so absurd that they drive me up the wall. Sorry I can't remember all the character names.
The guy who was pushing the button every 108 minutes is the same guy who got the sailboat from Liz (Hurley's girlfriend) and by not pushing the button in time, caused the crash of the plane she was on. In turn, when he uses the key to shut down the magnet blivit, that cause something to be picked up my a monitoring station with a bunch of Russians plus one guy who , you guessed it, calls the button-pusher's bride-to-be.
The "Others" know Sawyer's real name. How? And what happened to the beastie that pulled the pilot out of the plane after it crashed?
The French woman played by Mira Furlan, is the only one who seems to be able to outsmart the Others. How come?
BTW, I saw an interview with the producers of this hodge-podge, and Walt and Michael will be back after a period of time. No surprise there.
And last, but not least, why does the guy on the Dharma Initiative orientation film act like he was in Plan Nine from Outer Space?
