Episode 4 of season 4 is on tonight. It looks like maybe a Kate episode. We might learn another member of the Oceanic Six. Maybe. Last week I was entranced by Sayid's flashforward. Although watching it a second time with the element of the mystery, it wasn't that interesting. It was a good episode even though I haven't figured out what the title "The Economist" means.

Here's what we learned:

• The cabin moves around the island, it wasn't just hurley's vision
• Sayid traded
• Kate stayed with Sawyer and Locke
• Future Sayid is killing people probably involved with the freighter people under the guidance of Ben
• Ben survives the current timeline and regains a position of power.

And here are the numerous new questions

• Who are the people Sayid is assassinating? Dharma? Frieghter people? Penny's group? All three?
  
• Why did he grab a handful of snow right after tossing the cell phone in the trash?
• Who is Elsa's boss?
• Why does Dan pick a target sight so close to the helicopter?
• Why does the pilot want him to hang up if Mikowski picks up the phone?
• Where was the rocket for the 31 minutes?
• If there is a 31 minute time difference with the island and the boat, how are they able to communicate in real time?
• Why is this "not good" according to Dan?
• Why does Ben have so many passports?
• What do the freighter people know of Penelopee?
• What work does Charolette have to do?
• What happenes if Frank doesn't stay on the same bearing they came in with?
• Why did Jack stay on the island?
