Finally, a question -- this could very well have been in a part I didn't see (as there are large portions of three episodes I did not get to see) but the guy in the suit that is (hinted at? or bluntly stated as?) the Dr's father.  Has anyone else actually seen and acknowledged the guy?  Or has it so far only been he Dr to see him?  It could be all in his mind... that's all I'm trying to figure out.Are there any interesting georgprahical points in that area?  'Cause everytime they talk about the plane going down, I have flashes to shows about the bermuda triangle.  I am just wondering if there is a similar geographic area shrouded and myth somewhere between australia and West Coast US (plus the thousand miles off course thing)</blockquote>
