LOST is back tomorrow. Who in?

[grayhank]

The biggest question that comes to my mind is where are all "the others". With all these people treking around the island you would think that some of Ben's people would be interested in what's going on or at least try to rescue him. They weren't all blown up at the beach. The eerie "Sheriff" woman seems like she has some authority over the other's group, she hasn't been seen since Juliette's hearing.

Best line from last night's episode by Locke "I saw Walt....and he was tall".

The biggest groaner - finding the skeleton of a polar bear in the desert with a Dharma emblem.

Only two episodes so far and the show is already all over the place.

I thought last nite's show was excellent. A perfect example of the great writing on this show; four brand new characters that are instantly engaging and interesting.

When Locke was leading them through the jungle, I thought, "Hey wait a sec.. didn't he get shot point blank? He looks completely fine. What did I miss?", and not five seconds later Sawyer questions him about the exact same thing, and it's explained.

[The Toyroom]

LOTS of questions after last night! Apparently Ben has been off-island recently...I'd always assumed the opposite since he seemed to have his underlings doing his dirty work nabbing people like Juliet to come to the island.

5 Questions the Lost Writers Need to Answer (And Why They Won't) | Cracked.com

My first complaint: Why move it to Thursday Night? I seriously do not understand why all the networks believe that people ONLY watch TV on Thursdays. There are six other nights of the week with NOTHING ON! That being said...

Where was Michael in the premiere? His name appeared in the opening credits, yet I do not recall seeing him, not even in a flashback or foreshadow scene. It did appear that there were two people in "Jacob's shack" when Hurley came across it. It's possible that he was one of them.

I'm not sure I like the foreshadow scenes. They appear to be running in reverse as evidenced by Jack stating to Hurley that he might grow a beard. So the main portion of the show is going forward while the other scenes are headed in reverse. At some point the two are going to collide I suppose and we'll be back to Season 3's finale. This only makes things more confusing trying to put together all the pieces.

There's still alot that we don't know about "The Others" and now we have "New Others". How many different groups of people are they going to put onto this island before it becomes overload. We have the Dharma Group, The Others, Oceanic Crash Group, Penny's Research Group, Rousseau's group (whom she killed but why were they there to begin with), the New Others...etc etc etc. For a secret island there seems to be a lot of people who know about it. Even the alleged Rep from Oceanic Airlines who visited Hurley seems to know about it. Now they throw in the "Oceanic 6" group. There's far too many people to keep track of.

Overall I was thrilled with the return of my favorite show but I felt it left much to be desired for a premiere episode. Again I can only guess that this season is going to end right where season 3 ended with Jack trying to get back to the Island and Season 5 (the supposed final season) will be all about his eventual return. Season 4 looks like it's just going to be the filler in between, much like Season 2 went nowhere.

Respects to all the naysayers but, this show is one of the best to ever come along.

And now that it has been given a definate time to end, it will benefit by not having to pad the storyline with "fluff".

Of the "Oceanic six", we only know about Jack, Kate and now Hurley... with the possibility that one of the six was in the coffin.

I love the flash forward concept. It keeps you guessing where you are. You didn't know last night if it was a flash-forward or not, right up until Hurley said "I'm one of the Oceanic six!"

You're right, Charlie could have escaped his death. Not only could he have possibly swam out the portal window, but it seemed like he could just have easily shut the hatch door from the outside as the inside. But it seems like I remember Desmond making him believe that for the survivors to be rescued, he would have to die.

[RG]

What are the odds that Desmond is one of the six along with maybe Michael - who is suspected to be in the casket...?

Well, technically Desmond isn't from the Oceanic flight, so he could be a 7th survivor ... if he lives. You never know what this show will pull

[The Toyroom]

I read somewhere (TV Guide maybe?) where it hinted that Sayid is one of the Oceanic Six.

Was eveybody as creeped out as I was by that guy who visited Hurley pretending to be from Oceanic Airlines?

[Airdave817]

What are the odds that Desmond is one of the six along with maybe Michael - who is suspected to be in the casket...?

[Marvelmania]

Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sawyer and 2 others yet to be named.

[Airdave817]

Very nice premiere. I am so tired of Ben. At what point does everything start to make sense and all the answers start to fill themselves in?

I would almost like to see Charlie as a ghost.

I don't care about any Haunted Shack.

So who are the other three of the Oceanic Six?

[Mawni]

I thought it was good, but yeah too many ads for that lame looking show. I was also miffed when I found out the first hour was yet another recap.

[The Toyroom]

A nice welcome back....I enjoyed it!

[starsky]

as usual more questions than answers!!!!!!!
