Kate's 'father' was one of the soldiers interrogating Sayid during Desert Storm.

How about Kate and Sawyer?

Sawyer was once a customer at the restaurant where Kate's mother was a waitress.

How about the connection between Sayid and Desmond?

Kelvin Inman (played by Clancy Brown) was the special forces officer who got Sayid to interrogate his commanding officer, and he was Desmond's partner in the hatch.

The phony 'psychic'.

Just got Disc 7 from Netflix late this afternoon. Only had time to mess around with the Connections section a little, but I just seem to keep going around and around with the same characters: Jack, Jack's dad, Hurley, Shannon, Boone, and a couple others. Hard to remember what cable you just came from...

My strategy has been to follow all the leads from one character, then returning until all that characters connections have been explored, then repeating it with the next one. Trouble is, there are times when it moves too quickly and I lose track of which cable led into the monitor, so when I try to go back I'm taken to another character rather than the one I thought I was going back to. Another problem is that some of the cables duplicate the same connection. For instance, there are at least two cables that lead from Jack to Ana Lucia, and the same between Hurley and Libby.

I've played around with it for a total of about four hours over the last two days, and have no idea if I've exhausted all the possibilities yet. A new connection I discovered today led to a screen similar to the computer in the hatch, a monitor with only the one connection leading into it. You have to enter the numbers using your remote, and once all the numbers are entered in the proper sequence, the monitor changes to one that has seven connections. One of them goes back to Desmond, the other six lead you to monitors that demonstrate several different scenes when the numbers were used in the show, such as the safety deposit box where Kate retrieved the toy plane was numbered 1516.

So after messing around with it for awhile, I've decided that I don't like this feature. It was a cool idea, but poorly executed. Specifically, the multiple wires that make the SAME CONNECTION are very annoying. For example, two of Jack's connect to Shannon. Two of Shannon's connect to Boone. Rose has four wires, and THREE of them connect to Bernard! If they were trying to $#@& people off with that, they succeeded.

Oh well, didn't really need it anyway. I think I knew most, if not all, of the connections already...
