Kudos to TPTB for having Michael Emerson narrate this recap episode. If Lost viewers have learned any lesson at all, it is not to take anything Ben says at face value. What really caught my attention was the way the narrator kept using the word "coincidence" to describe the events we've seen play out - "coincidence" that Jack ended up on the island as Ben needed a spinal surgeon, "coincidence" that Sawyer would end up on the island and later have the opportunity to kill the man who destroyed his parents' lives, etc. He used the word so many times, I think the point made was obvious - there are no coincidences when it comes to this island. But at this point, it is up for debate whether Fate or Conspiracy is responsible for what has happened to our group of survivors.
