Just wanted to give everyone ample time to sift through the ultimate Lost must-read – EW’s recap. Dude must spend hours each Thursday night writing this. CS Lewis references? Noticing the connection to On the Road? Impressive. But neither was as deep as this: “Did you see the numbers on Daniel’s clocks? One said 3:16, while the other said 2:45. As it happens, Daniel 2:45 is the culmination of the story in which exiled Daniel earned an exalted place in King Nebuchadnezzar’s court by interpreting a dream concerning the future of Babylon and how ”the fourth kingdom will be a divided kingdom.” Hey — that sounds like the fourth season of Lost! Meanwhile, Daniel 3:16 is part of the famous story of how Daniel’s friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown in the fiery furnace but were saved by God.”

Ruminations and spoilers (from last night) after the jump:

* So clearly, Ben was not in the coffin of last season’s finale. That leaves, most likely, Sawyer or Locke. Unless, of course, Ben has cloned himself, and don’t laugh – nothing is out of bounds on this show.
* Pure guess – when Sayid reaches the boat, he cozies up to a female … which happens to be Ben’s ’source.’ Then, Sayid goes Rambo on the boat.
* Could have sworn ’scenes from the next’ said the final member of the Oceanic 6 was revealed next week. We’ve counted Jack, Kate, Sayid and Hurley. So does that mean the person is the coffin is No. 5?
* It really stinks that this show doesn’t have many more seasons left. It is tremendous TV.
