I don't know but if I had to guess, I'd say it was Ben's funeral.

I don't know but if I had to guess, I'd say it was Ben's funeral.

...because Ben grew up in a predominately black neighborhood?

i was thinking Ben too because Kate balked when Jack questioned if she visited the funeral or not. But you bring up a good point. Could be Michael too. And Kate has reasons to dislike Michael as well since he sold them out.

SPOILERS from last season!!!--------------

As for why Jack is so distraught in the flash-forward - i think it is because he realizes that the Others were actually good people and the guilt of killing some of them is eating him. IIRC, the others didnt really (intentionally) kill any of the Flight 815 survivors, but te survivors killed many of them. What really makes me think that Ben and the Others arent really evil people is when Ben orders his men to shoot Sayid, Jin, and Bernard in the last episode. You hear shots over the walkie-talkie, but later find out that Ben ordered them to shoot the sand and not the three in question. True, they are deceptive, but they didnt harm any of the survivors on purpose

this is from lostpedia (written before yesterdays airing):
>>Get ready for the Season Four premiere of "Lost" with a special presentation of the Season Three two-hour finale, "Through the Looking Glass," enhanced with on-screen facts and back story about one of the most talked about dramas on television. Whether you already watched the amazing conclusion of "Lost" last season or this is your first time viewing it, the special enhanced "Lost" catches viewers up on the story of the Oceanic 815 survivors in a way you've never experienced before. Be there for the enhanced "Lost" Season Three finale, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30 at 9:00 p.m., ET/PT on ABC.

The enhanced version of "Lost" will include text on the lower third of the screen and will "let viewers in" on clues in the show, as well as give back story to catch new viewers up for Season Four. <<

if you are a diehard fan, you prolly knew all this, but it was new to me: Basically there is a connection between Bernard Nadler and the hospital (woman in accident); the "Looking Glass" refers to sequel to Alice's adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll; some references to star wars; and other tales of "journey" .. some other new easter eggs as well ... the text on the bottom of screen i think was very well written and timed with what was going on the screen ...

there is more but i cannot seem to recall, maybe lost fansites will have it .. worth seeing re-airing imho ... and i hope the same is true for season recaps tonite ...

my local listings say 7 central for what looks like a recap hour, then 8 central for the actual episode (1 hr). Not sure why OP says 11/10c

They throw in the word Event at the end real stealth like, and they do it to trick people to believe it like y'all do. They advertise 2 Hour Premier Event!, and I too first thought 2 hour episode... but then they'd called it a two hour premier. They can't call it a premier if it's recap, so it's a Premier Event... totally different name, very sly but bravo. :)
