A) It would be awfully difficult to explain how Locke could be Kendall, if Locke's flashbacks have been genuine. There's just no way. Even if he was a CIA agent undercover as Locke in his Lost flashbacks, it's not realistic that the things that happened to him - being manipulated out of a kidney by his father, etc. would have happened to him if he was really Kendall, who was a high ranking officer of some sort.

B) It is true that the Driveshaft tune was heard on Alias during the party.

C) It would be EXTREMELY hard to explain the fact that Weiss (one of Sydney's fellow agents) was seemingly the co-pilot of Flight 815 that was killed by the Lost beast in the pilot. (Played by the same actor). Yet he lives on on Alias.

D) Don't waste your energy trying to get into Alias now, as it has already been cancelled, and it looks as if the rest of the episodes will be very self-referential - bringing back characters from past seasons, etc. It would be very hard to follow. Better idea - get the DVD's and start from the beginning.

All that said, I wouldn't be surprised at all if there wasn't some sort of cross-over, if only a mention of the Dharma Initiative, Hanso, etc. on Alias. I think JJ has too much integrity and respect for the shows to do anything more than that.
