The Numbers are BAD!... why?

Walt. Seriously what was the deal with that?  

That's actually the answer I'm waiting the most for.

I know they can't just leave it as the serial number on the hatch since those numbers were on the cave wall too.  Actually, I hope they explain all the funny goings'on with the hatch in general.  The Egyptian letters, the food drop, the black light mural, the numbers, why those specific numbers worked, what has the Dharma initiative been doing since they left, ect.

They have a lot of explaining to do in a short 2 1/2 hours.

I think we have explanations for 2 of those things. 

The food drops were just an automated Dharma procedure, something that would go on even after Dharma was done. I forget what exactly tripped it, though I recall it was in the episode where the food in the hatch ran out.

As for "What has the Dharma initiative been doing since they left. The answer is nothing. They didn't leave. In the original timeline they were still on the Island when the others (with Ben's help) gassed them all to death. It was in the new timeline that they left and then couldn't come back since the Island got blown up.

But seriously. What was the deal with Walt?

I'm going to say screw spoiler tags because they're annoying and if you're in this thread, you should know these questions or not care.

I know Dharma stayed in the island in the form of Ben's group, I'm just wondering who upkeeps the automated drops?  Where did it come from?  I have to assume it came from off the island but where off the island?  How did they get it there?

And yeah, they just kind of forgot about Walt.  I remember thinking in season 2 or 3 that the ending was going to be some sort of standoff between Walt and Aaron...and then they just kind of wrote Walt out.

Also, I'm thinking Ben will become the new smoke monster while attempting to kill Locke (I assume it will be like a Lord of the Rings The One ring thing-- the smoke monster can only be unmade where it was made).  Then, instead of the smoke wanting to leave, he'll want to stay but keep everyone else off.
