Didn't Christian make earlier trips to Australia, hence Claire? If so, isn't it within the realm of possibility (like anything is impossible with LOST) that he somehow became involved with the island and has been for quite a while? As for the 6...no clue. It could be any of them I guess. And the coffin...wasn't it small? Like a kid or small person? That would rule out Hurley & Sawyer, right? Maybe its somebody we haven't met yet. Whoever it is, Kate clearly had no reason to go to the funeral. It seems to me the theme developing here is that the O6 made it back in exchange for something else ("I'm tired of lying", "He'll wonder where I am", Jack to Hurley about keeping his mouth shut, etc). Maybe its in exchange for letting the other survivors live? The guy that came to visit Hurley did ask him if they were still alive, right? <em>Thom's last blog post..<a href='http://www.jtrigsby.com/2008/01/how-to-work-in-internet-part-2.html' rel="nofollow">How To Work In the Internet - Part 2</a></em> Wow!

We have never found Christian's body - we still have an empty coffin 2. We know that Jacob is either something otherworldly or is in possession of supernatural abilities or properties. 3. It seems that healing of certain characters on the island has been extremely quick through out the entire series. 4. It seems that a case can be made for a few resurrected characters on the island. Perhaps, in the vernacular of Princess Bride, the were only "mostly dead", but not all the way? As far as the Oceanic 6 - I'm still scratching my head. The obvious ones are 1. Jack, 2. Hurley, and 3. Kate. Let's also not forget Walt and Michael (that would be 4 and 5 if we included them). So that would leave the coffin - but Jack was the only person to show for the funeral. He was neither family nor friend and apparently the remaining four were not friends with that person either...So whomever it was might have been someone that they were not friends with on the island, or someone that they became unfriendly towards after the rescue (because it seems that Jack has strained relationships with both Hurley and Kate). I would almost guess Juliette, but she would want to go back to Miami to be with her sister. I cannot imagine it being either Locke or Ben. Could it be James? Or, to add another twist to it, maybe it was Hurley. I’m with Frank on this theory.

Maybe Christian? Damn I hope not...it's going to just mess with everything. Somehow I think if Christian comes back alive, he's not going to go to some hospital and work again...that would just change your life too much to fall back into the same world you came from.

But, the Chief didn't say anything like "uh dude, your dad is dead". Soooo who knows, all I can say is I'm so glad it's back on! Christian has to be one of the O 6's. Who's the person in the coffin? I think it's Sawyer. No one showed up to the funeral... Yes, but Jack was really drunk/high on pain killers, so maybe he forgot his dad was dead.

Because Jack mentions him as being alive and well in the season ender. This means he returned with them, perhaps being animated by Jacob, or we're looking at an alternative timeline where he didn't die in Sydney.
