The scary lawyer guy wanted Hurley to tell him if his friends were still
alive
or not.

My first thought was that Claire was dead, but then it occurred to me that
if
she had a choice between both of them staying, or Aaron getting off the
island, she could have given Aaron to Kate and told her "Protect him!"

So... no clue either way.  I think it very likely that some of them are
still
alive; I think it very likely that some of them *aren't*, though.

I *think* the one with Jack, at the end of last season, was pretty close
to
then-real-time, based on the technology we saw.  Last night's would have
been
some time earlier, though -- I'd guess a year, maybe two.

Not sure.  There's definitely something funny with time:  the rocket that
was
launched came in significantly later than it should have, and its clock (I
presume, based on what was shown) was off by a significant period of time
(at
least 90 minutes?).

I'm not sure if Daniel's memory problems were related to that, or if it's
something else.
