Not a bad opener last night. I'm hooked.
It was a decent episode. And in case anyone hasn't notice, the format of the show has flipped: instead of present time stories interspersed with flashbacks of characters' pasts, it's now interspersed with flash-forwards of characters' futures.

Meaning: the writers (at least those not on strike ;)) have some kind of end game for the show in mind and are working towards it.

It was decent restart to the show, and as Greg said it seems they're finally going somewhere with the show this time around.

Btw, did anyone notice that Locke was shot and wounded before the show left off, and in this past episode he's complete fine? Big blooper there.

No, they will explain that, be sure about this! I bet it has to do, with Locke being "special", in that "magical" island...
The writers have announced that the end is already pre-defined,
IIRC it will be a huge, last episode, that may appear on cinema screens.
These "flash-forwards" appeared before and they are clearly from the future, (confirmed by the writters)
i suppose the last season, will be off the island...
(rumors say that the Lost "PC game" that will appear shortly, will show us where those flash-forwards will lead...)
At least this time, there wont be any breaks anymore!

The most interesting cue of the new season, was one of the very first ones, Hulrey said
"i m one of the Oceanic's 6"

hmmm 6? Just six?

That island has seen people magically healed before, and Locke is just the guy to recover from that.

But what didn't make consistent sense to my was that if Benjamin knew that Locke could hear Jacob and thus had a special relationship with the island, why didn't he finish the job after one shot? And if you say that the island would revive him anyway, there would be little point in shooting him in the first place unless to slow him down for a while.

They usually make a point with stuff like that. They didn't this time though, which makes me thing that it might be a blooper. Then there's the point you bring up right now; it's just not explained right or something.

Also, regarding the flash-forwards. Could it be that the outcomes can be altered based on the decisions they make on the island? In other words could it be that that's how it's going to be unless they do something different...now. Hope that makes sense.

Just watched the first episode, thanx to U-Torrent! :toast:

Wow, good stuff.

That's a good point actually...but I'm not too sure how they will explain it, or make sense out of that into a concept for the viewer. (as if there is anything in this show that is easily understood and straighforward!)

More importantly I'm thinking about this whole quest for returning back to the island.

Remember in the Season 3 final episode, final scene (Jack and Kate's future flash, flash forward whatever u call it! :p ) when they mention going back. The same thing happens here between Jack and Hugo - the latter suggesting that they should go back.

I really want to know what it is they want to go back for. I suspect it's to relocate there for good. Look at how Ben and his crew are so desperate to stay on the island...although in Season 3 he was willing to allow Jack to leave.....

Sheesh.......so many questions here, I don't know where to begin!!

When is episode 2 airing? Is there a schedule, coz I wanna mark it on my calendar so I remember to d/l the episodes :)

Something interesting here. The screenshot of 'Jacob' :eyebrows:



Also if you go to youtube and search for "Lost Missing Pieces". There are 13 mini-clips of the show not aired. Some of them are interesting, especially #13.

Someone needs to explain why Hurley's police chase arrest in L.A. -- which happens in the future after they return from the island, as we learn on this week's episode -- is shown on Korean TV in the background of a scene with Sun a season or two ago ... well before she even gets on the plane that crashes on the island!

Wait...what? That scene was shown on Korean TV? I don't remember that :confused: And what about Sun?

I never got around to watching those missing-pieces "mobisodes".

And Swag - I think I remember what you're talking about, it was during flashback in one of the Sun-based episodes! I'll have to dig, and check which one that is.

Can they mindfuck us more than they already did?! lol

You got it wrong dude. Hurley was on Korean TV, but he wasn't getting arrested, he was giving an interview on his lottery win.

PS The one who was shown as getting arrested on TV was Sayid, in Kate's flashback, in her father's office.

Ah. Thanks, Elvin. I could have sworn it was his arrest, not his lottery winning...
