this commenter seems to speak fr knowledge (just, a good researcher? or what?)
I think the other three are Sun and Jin (two for one special there) and Sayid. I think Aaron also leaves and is separated from Claire which will be a pivotal heart wrenching moment. Aaron wouldn't be counted in the Oceanic 6 since he wasn't a ticketed passenger of OA815.
And Michael and Walt are not members of the Oceanic 6 either since they got off the Island a month earlier. I think they are using aliases and being hidden from anything to do with Oceanic Airlines.
One of the more memorable lines from last night was "Are they still alive?" which beckons the question, Does Hurley know one way or another at this point? I think he somehow does. I presume last night's show to take place about 6 months after the rescue, so summer 2005. The Oceanic 6 are starting to become less of a celebrity group; Jack hasn't fallen off the deep end yet. In fact, Jack is still happy with his decision to leave. It appears that Hurley cracks first and is the one that puts the bug in Jack's here about obsessing about trying to get back to the Island and rescue everyone else. And really, I think that's inevitable in 2010. 2010? I suppose that's when the 6th & final season expected to air.
For the second time on the show, time has been fractured. The first was the crash. The second was/will be the rescue. Over the past three seasons we've been piecing the story together from before the crash through flashbacks. Now we need to piece the story together from after the rescue through flash forwards. I believe firmly that the show will revert in some sense to a flashback method of storytelling. The catch is the flashbacks will be to the Island and we will accept present time as the future. Of course, the "future" will actually coincide with the timeline of us as viewers. Like last year's season finale took place in April 2007 right (seen that as est fact), the show will progress its timeline towards the logical May 2010 finale.
