Wednighter, upon rewatch I noticed a bunch of stuff:

First - almost everything is in groups of three
* Charlie, Claire, & Aaron
* Sayid, Jin, & Sun
* Desmond is walking with three flight attendants
* Jack, Kate, & Sawyer are waiting in the security line
* John's wheelchair stops in front of a group of three ascending escalators.

-Only Hurley and Ben seem to not be in a group.
- We do not see Rose, Michael, Walt, Shannon, Nikki, Paulo, or Dr. Artz (from the front of the plane)
- The only person from the back of the plane is Eko, and we only see his stick.

- So John's whole purpose for making the sweat lodge is that he needs to talk to the island. Then when Boone (the island?) first appears to Locke Boone says something strange - "I'm here to help you find your way again. So you can bring the family back together." What does it mean to bring THE FAMILY back together?

- At first Boone (the island?) tells John - "John, someone in this airport is in serious danger. You are the only one who can save them." He's there to see whom he is to save. Then toward the end of the vision, around the escalator, Boone tells John "First you have to clean up your own mess." And Boone tells Locke that again when Locke is by Eko's bloody stick. Then after that Boone tells John "They've got him. You don't have much time." And when John emerges from the sweat lodge he tells Charlie "I'm going to save Mr. Eko's life." If Boone/the island just wanted John to go and save Eko's life, why did Boone/the island show us all that other stuff? And how is saving Eko's life (which Locke did not do?) going to bring the family back together? Who is the family?

Oh, and a few little sidenote curiosities:
*One person from the groups of three has died (Charlie from that group, Jin from his group) except for the Jack, Kate, and Sawyer group.
*Claire seems to be wearing an engagement or wedding ring.
*What is the deal with the red bag that Jin and Sun seem to be waving around in each other's faces?
* Sawyer seems to be holding one of the Other's walkie-talkies. Also we see a brochure with a picture of the golden gate bridge upside-down - similar to the Lost logo this season with the upside down skyline (I know one is San Fransico and one is Los Angeles).
