3 Things

1. So the others attacked one night ahead of schedule correct? So wouldn't they be tipped off by the fact that the tents were marked on the wrong day?

2. Is it safe to assume that Alex was born on the island? Why is her mother still alive 16 years later?

3. Why the hell did Charlie trap himself in the room when the grenade was going off? Because he felt it was his destiny? He could have easily got out of that room, and THEN closed the door behind him.

She got pregnant off island came to the island pregnant.. Claire had Aaron on the island and is still alive..

so is ben her real dad? that means he met her off the island. Does he make reference to leaving the island? Other then being born somewhere else?

Ben isn't the real father, the others kidnapped Alex when she was a baby.

As for Charlie, it was his destiny to die. Remember what Desmond said? "THe universe has a way of correcting itself" and that one lady said about the guy who died "If I told him it was gonna collapse, tomorrow he would've been hit by a taxi. If I told him about the taxi, he would slip in the shower and break his neck."

If CHarlie survived the water sation, he was gonna die by something else. He almost died like 3 times..I think it would get kinda old if every other episode Charlie has to find a way not to die like he's supposed it. He had to die =/

The waterproof door opened inward. It was there to prevent the communications room from being flooded if the moon pool depressurized and flooded. Not the other way around.

As for the tents being marked early.... When told the plan was moved up a day, Richard asked Ben, what if Juliet is not done marking all the tents yet? So she was in the process of marking even at that time as far as they knew.

04:53 PM

yes the tent process would have been sublte and gradual. the marking would be rocks or coral... inaspiciously placed for ease in a night time retreival.

Oh and rock you also forgot to mention how the dharma van was able drive throuh the forrest with ease...

1) She had to mark the tents at some point, better get er done was her thinking i guess....not really an issue is it?

2)Born Alexandra Rousseau, and possibly later renamed Alexandra Linus, Alex is a recurring fictional character on the ABC television series Lost played by Tania Raymonde. Her biological parents shipwrecked on the island over 16 years prior to the crash of Oceanic Flight 815. When she was one week old, Alex was kidnapped by a group of mysterious island inhabitants often called "The Others." She was adopted by an authority figure named Ben Linus, and has lived under his care since, however she currently is in an argument with him.

3)Charlie came to terms with his death, accepted his fate and realized he had to die. He had to die to be successfull....He was going to die and didnt want to put desmond through that any more

No , It really makes NO sense that Charley did that , even he said , " so much for fate " just seconds before Penny's call . No that was just a ridiculous way for him to go . They could have made it more believable . I accept all that about he would die sooner or later , but it seemed like he hoped he had made it once again . ditto on the other 2 points plus the one about driving thru the forest , but boy , was that a great Hurley moment or what !!!
