His first name Kelvin was not mentioned before to prevent a possible spoiler.The four-toed statue was already being planned a while ago and is a lead to Season 3 where there will be attention to an archaeological theme and to the people who were on the island before the DHARMA Initiative, who arrived in the late 1970s.The producers suggest that the triggering of the fail safe device by Desmond will be significant in the romantic relationship between Desmond and Penelope, and that it was that action leading to the anomaly that made the island visible to the scientists working for her. The fact that the scientists missed an anomaly before may refer that the other anomaly was on September 22.Matthew Fox did NOT play one of the Portuguese speaking men, who spoke Brazilian Portuguese.Why didn't Hurley attack Michael? There wasn't much choice, as Jack said: going back wasn't even an option.

In September, the season starts with six episodes ending with a mini-cliffhanger. After a break of 12 weeks the remaining 17 episodes will air uninterrupted in spring.The monster will definitely be back in season 3. The reason that the monster was not very present in season 2 is that there was simply not enough time.
