I was just thinking that if the writers were thinking ahead they should have had the Losties helping to clear runway in the 3rd season to prove it to us.
You think maybe Jacob told The Others to build that runway because he knew in the future it would be needed?
Jin is not wise in the ways of the lie. I can see Radzinsky's broadcast seriously fucking with Sawyer & Co.'s business down the road.
More to the point, Amy only had 2 vacancies on the sub's manifest. Sawyer's got one too many Losties in that van!
