Everything happens for a reason

Season 2 of Lost has premiered in the US. What will happen to Sawyer, Jin and Michael? What is in the hatch? And the others? Expect some (not all) answers this season.

And the numbers. 4 8 15 16 23 42. They are significant this season as well. So much so that fans have devoted a blog to investigate the minute details we forgo. Like:

4:
- # of years Locke was in his wheelchair.
- # of guns in the marshall's case.
- # of aces on Boone's T-shirt.
- # of years since Hurley's grandfather got his pacemaker.
- Driveshaft is #234 on the jukebox (23 and 4).

16:
- # of years Danielle's distress signal has been looping.
- # of weeks since someone won the lottery before Hurley.
- # of years since Sam and Lenny heard the numbers.
- Jack, Kate, and Charlie found the pilot 16 hours after the crash.

Here's a personal favourite.
23: # of times Jack hits Charlie on the chest while performing CPR before Kate tells him to stop.

Some people have way way too much time.
