While th Lost mobisode series Missing Pieces has been vexing fans for a long time, making them question what it all meant, last night's episode may have shed some light on that.  Perhaps the mobisodes were there to foreshadow future events.

Maybe we're reading too much into this, but one particular line from last night's episode jumped out at us.  In his final flash forward, when Hurley and Jack play HORSE, Hurley thinks that perhaps they need to go back for some reason.  Jack says never, and Hurley responds "Never say never."  Certain that we'd heard that on this show before, we looked back and saw that we did: in the third mobisode.

In "King of the Castle," Ben and Jack play a game of chess and have a near identical conversation.  Ben warns Jack to be careful of what he wishes for, namely getting off the island, because then he may realize he wants to come back.  Jack says never, and Ben responds with the same line Hurley delivered.  Coincidence?  If you've read this far, then you're a dedicated enough fan of Lost to know that in this show, there's no such thing as a coincidence.
