General
- May not actually be the biological father of Walt, as hinted by Ms. Klugh, who took a blood sample from Michael when he arrived at their camp.
- Michael will be seen again in a vision.
- Michael and Sun had a relationship on the Island. This has been hinted in many episodes and also a mobisode. The Others knew about the affair, indicated in "Meet Kevin Johnson" when Tom realizes that Michael was having cold feet about blowing up the boat. Tom starts to mention names of survivors who would die if he didn't blow up the boat. He mentions Sun first to give Michael an emotional response
- Hurley only said "Like your dad, yeah" to Walt because he doesn't want to tell Walt that Michael is dead.
- In addition Walt tells Hurley that he doesn't understand why they have to lie and is told it is to protect those that didn't come back. If Walt knew that that did NOT include his father he might feel less inclined to comply, but since he thinks he is also protecting his father who he seems to want to see again he will keep up the cover story etc.
- The Island wouldn't allow Michael to die or kill himself prior to joining the freighter crew wasn't due so much to the Island itself not allowing it, but because it was already known to happen that way. Now that it's known that several people from the "modern" timeline lived on the island during the 70s after time traveling there, it was already known that the events that caused the people from the modern timeline to ultimately end up living in the 70s was partially a result of events that happened on the freighter with Michael's involvement.
- The die-hard fatalist would say that the Island was responsible for the structure of the time-line itself.
- Maybe "the island preventing anyone from doing particular actions" thing is just a metaphor for knowledge of future events. Someone, like Jacob, might be from the future (let's assume that he is Aaron) and can pretend to anyone that the island won't let you do what you want, not because the island as such power, but because whatever happened in his future time, has to happen.
