i was thinking like sayid, but i thought the grave would be empty. do you think this fake henry gale was coming to relieve desmond? he was pretty chill once locke came up to the control room. also, in the flashback...was lock inspecting sayid's woman's house?
I think Gale knows more about the hatch than he's letting on. I could be dead wrong tho. It's possible the baloon man was coming to relieve one of the hatch men. We still don't know who the original hatch men are. We know one is named Kelvin. That's it. Desmond needs to get his butt back to this series. Where the heck is he anyway? As for the flashback: Good eye. That IS Sayid's woman.
