It saddens me to say, but the person in the coffin could be Hurley. We don't specifically know whether Hurley's flash-forward takes place before or after Jack's, and it appeared that Jack really cared about whoever was in that coffin. For me, that rules out Ben, Locke and Michael. Just my $0.02, though.

But no one else showed up for the funeral besides Jack. If it had been Hurley I see no reason Kate's reply would have been "Why would I want to do that?" or whatever it was she said when Jack asked her about it. I can't imagine anyone not wanting to remember Hurley and honor him. Jack's flash-forward in last year's finale was definitely later in the timeline than Hurley's in this newest episode.

Oh, it was definately before Jack's flash forwards. Jack and Hurley were talking about him growing out a beard, which he really didn't have at the time. And, I think also that Kate would have made an effort to make it if it were Hurley's funeral.

Also, that coffin was fairly small. And unless Hurley decided to get his stomach stapled before he died, I don't think they would have been able to fit him in there. My money's on Ben.

Speaking of Hurley, is there anyone whose a little disappointed that Hurley's not as much of a comic relief as he was a the beginning of the series? Yeah he still gets some laughs now and then, and even in this ep when he got excited when the cop told him he could send him to a mental institute, or when Charlie's ghost smacked him. But his thing is the whole "I'm cursed by the numbers" plotline and is a bit of a sad sack. Which can be great at times, but I still would like to see more actual humor in the show, since the show does tend to take itself way too seriously. Part of the reason I love HEROES so much is because it actually has humor in it. And even though Hiro is the quote unquote comic relief that does have a lot of serious shit happen to him, he never loses his idealism and excitement over what's happening around him. He still yells "Flying Man!" when he sees Nathan.

Also, when HEROES screws up, they do admit to it and try to fix it as soon as possible, whereas with LOST, they always fall back on the whole "it'll all make sense in the end" excuse.

I dunno. Still psyched for the seven remaining episodes.

I LOVED the opening episode, I really didn't want it to end

Although I hate to say it, I did think that the "he" that Kate had to get back to might not be Sawyer or her hubby, but her son. Son? What? I hear you cry. But if she does indeed get pregnant by Sawyer (sperm count is five times the normal on the island!) then the him could very well be her own child.

As for the coffin, my bet's on Michael. Listening to the Lost panel at comic con, Harold Perrineau said something about the newspaper article mentioning the man was from new york and had a son. Someone also said the name in paper began with a J, but I'm guessing after what Michael did, he may very well have used an alias.

All guessing I know, but in the finale when Jack goes to the funeral, he's asked if he's a friend or family, and he replies "neither". I'd say this fits with Michael who, having made many enemies because of his betrayal, would not have any of the losties show up to his funeral.
Why Walt wouldn't be able to make it though is another question

Yeah the first episode was great.

I'm one of the fans who actually likes the fact that they don't give you the answers. Yes I want answers to the major stuff by the time the show ends, but I'd also like some stuff to be left open, or have enough clues left that you figure it out on repeated viewings when your brain isn't puddled trying to work the main plots out.

"I have to get back to him." -
My main guess would be Sawyer, he wouldn't be too happy if he found out Kate was seeing Jack, however innocently it may be. A son is a possibility, especially if you go with the idea that Sawyer doesn't make it off the island. Too early to say yet.
I don't think she's on the run anymore either, it seemed too easy for her just to turn up at the airport.

"Desmond's vision that involved Charlie's death indicated Claire would be "rescued," but we have reason to suspect the boat people do not have the best of intentions regarding the Losties or The Others, so just because they pick her up does not mean she gets off the island permanently." -
Exactly my thought when it was first mentioned last season. Des never said they got rescued and he never said she got off the island, just that they get into a helicopter. They could get out again a few minutes later.

The body in the coffin is an odd one.
The non 'friend or family' mention could mean a few people. It's small enough that it could be Walt's and Michael may still be on the island.
Ben is an obvious one, he could possibly have been in New York with his Dad before going to the island and that would explain the newspaper article.
I don't think it's Locke, I think he'd sooner die than leave the island.

And a new point:
When Hurley saw Jacob's cabin and the face/eye looked out, anyone think it looked like Christian Shepherd, Jack's Dad?

Yeah I didn't really notice that at first, I just assumed it was the jacob that was glimpsed before. But I think it was on the UK podcast one of the hosts made a similar comment then I remembered... John Terry (who plays Christian) was listed in the credits for the episode, but didn't appear any where else. So I'd say pretty definitely it was him
