LOST-2-18-316

What I like about Lost is that just when you think you've got it, it throw in one of those episodes where you go: Wait, what?
So the Oceanic Six need to go back to the Island and what helps them do that? Daniel's mom and giant Pendulum in a Dharma station under a Los Angeles church. Of course Jack is on board and he is in possession of Locke's body(who is now wearing Christian's shoes.) Something has happened to Aaron and now Kate is on board. Sun comes to the airport not seeming to worried about her baby in Korea. Hurley has somehow gotten out of jail, has a guitar, and is reading a copy of Y the Last Man (Whose author Brian K. Vaughn is a writer on the show.) And somehow Sayid is under arrest and also on the flight. Oh, and whose driving this plane to Guam, a clean shaven Frank Lapidous. At the last minute a bruised and bloodied Ben rushes on to the plane. He said that before he left he had to fulfill a promise to an old friend which I believe was supposed to be killing Penny. Looks like he didn't make it that far. There is a blinding white flash, Jack, Kate, and Hurley find themselves on the Island, and then a Dharma van drives up and out comes Jin, in a Dharma uniform.
Here's one problem I have. Mrs. Hawking made it seem that the Island is constantly moving. But if that is the case, how could the Freighter have found it? How could Micheal get back to the states after following the proper coordinates? How could Alpert and Mr. Friendly make trips back to the states to talk to Juliet/Locke/Micheal? And if the Island is constantly moving through time, how could the Arrow station with the video cameras work? How could been have footage of the 2004 World Series?

• What has happened to Aaron and where is he?
• Why did Sayid get arrested and why is Hurley out of jail with full knowledge of the way back to the Island?
• Who beat the hell out of Ben?
• Where are the other castaways after the plane crash, and did the plane crash? Will we soon see Ben, Sun, Sayid, Lapidus, and maybe that Arab guy on the Island?
• What year is the Island on, and why is Jin working for Dharma? Is it the same reason Faraday was with Dharma in the season premier?

One thing that the constant shifting through time would explain is the food Dharma food drop off in the earlier seasons.

And one thing Erin Knoble pointed out to me is that in the Lighthouse there was a series of numbers counting down similar to the one in the hatch. Could there be other hatches around the world? And is that why that man in the institution was repeating the numbers?
