Hahaha, yes, you figured it out, I work for NASA...except not really. Though that would be cool. As per how many times I watched the episode, about twice, the second time alot of it was in slow motion, sooo yea. As per my thoughts about the "Others" I heard, from another lost board, something like, they were the survivors from the tail section and thats why Anna Lucia's character shows up next episode or something. As well this would explain why they were chasing after Jin. Since, lets be honest, if you're on an island and you know there are creepy things out in the jungle and then an Asain man drops out of nowhere and starts screaming at you in Korean, wouldn't you be just slightly inclined to think he might be one of, the others. However at the same time it doesn't really make sense how Jin could have been tied up AND gotten away, unless they let him go to hunt him (ahla Lord of the Flies). Or maybe he just whipped some of his crazy jumping punching stuff he did so often back home and broke free just intime to find Sawyer and Michael. Another person on the board said something about howcome Desmond asks Locke if he's "him". Apparently, that timer is a count-down to the distruction of something, like the island, and thats why he has to type in the numbers every 108 minutes, since their like a password which restarts the countdown. Why he asked Locke was because Desmond thought Locke might be his replacement, and thats why he asked the question about the snowmen, prolly the answer is the key-word which means Desmond can pack up and go home. I did find it interesting that he got so intense when Locke didn't respond to his question about sickness, since SICK is written on the fresco from last episode...Add to this his shocked and confused expression when he finds out that Sydney and L.A. are still around he must think that a massive plauge had wipped out the world...or something.
