Why Jin is Alive

  The flashforward of Jin's tombstone leads us to believe that he will soon suffer an untimely demise. The date on the tombstone is the same as the crash date and this is consistent with the Oceanic 6 deception that only 8 people initially survived the crash. Now, we have to wonder if Jin actually died or was left behind on the island. What did Matthew Abaddon mean when he asked Hurley the question: Are they still alive?

  If only we could read the minds of the writers? We know so much of the story. How will the flashbacks, the present and the flashforwards all weave together? We know, of course, that they will leave the island. When an agonized Jack said to Kate: We have to go back, Kate!, we knew that they would someday go back. What will motivate the survivors to return?

   Sayid is working for Ben and Ben always said that leaving the island would be a mistake. Hurley is haunted by Charlie and Charlie tries to tell him that they need him. They need you! Charlie tells Hurley! Jack is obviously haunted in the Season 3 finale. What must Jack be thinking? By now (the S3 finale flashforward), he must know that Claire is his half-sister. Is she still alive on the island? Is Jack haunted by visions of his sister? Will Kate also be haunted by visions of Claire? Will she think of Sawyer? Certainly, little Aaron will be a constant reminder. The Oceanic 6 will return to the island and each member will have a motivation to return. What will motivate Sun? Unless Jin is still alive on the island, she will have little motivation to return. Therefore, Jin is alive!

Are they still alive?
