Welcome back, Lost! I was worried as to how this season would start, but it seems like my worries were for naught. Spoiler thoughts when you click. Please post your thoughts; I'd like to hear them!
What an awesome beginning to the season.
I am sure that the time jumping will leave many scratching their heads (me included), but I really enjoy this.
Random thoughts:
I'm glad Faraday is on this show to shed some light on the whole time-jumping and to help establish some of the 'time manipulation' rules. I am not completely sure how these work (the single thread of time that cannot be altered), but I am enjoying the ride.
You can only interact with people who you interacted with prior to that moment when two people from different times are currently cohabiting?
So, when the island disappeared, I know it traveled in time, but where did it go physically? Did it go to a time after it was destroyed? Or to a time before it even existed?
[Off-Topic Note: Did anyone else squeal with glee upon recognizing one of the Kate-haranguing lawyers as Tom Irwin who played the father in "My So-Called Life"? Just me?]
The going back in forth between time periods on the island is tres' nifty.
Anyone else disappointed that we didn't see the ghost of Boone?
Anyone else disappointed that we saw the ghost of Ana Lucia?
I like new bad-ass Sun. I don't know about her collaborating with Whitmore, but she sure seems determined.
It seems that the Others are part of the island, so as the island goes through time, so do they--while everyone else on the island is stationary.
OR is the island staying stationary and are the people the ones doing the time traveling?
It was good seeing some Hurley. Hugo episodes are always my favorite. I was surprised to see Cheech more likable in this episode. I was expecting him to continue to be the scum we were introduced to upon his last appearance.
So, Hurley seems to be the one who can have chats with the ghosts of island casualties.
Who washes knives in a dishwasher with the blades up? That's an accident waiting to happen. Tonight's episode was a case in point. Get it? Case in POINT.
Locke has to die to save the island? What is the importance of saving the island? Saving the inhabitants of the island, or are there more wide-reaching implications?
It was nice seeing Neil, an expendable character, get annoying and then die with a flaming arrow in the chest. It was like Dr. Arzt revisited. ("I got Arzt on me.")
What is the importance of Charlotte's nosebleed? She said she hadn't had one since she was a kid. Is this a way to tell us that the people on the island are the ones that are doing the time travel as opposed to the island traveling through time?
Who is the new group of people on the island that attack Sawyer and Juliet? Where are they from? When are they from?
The old lady is Ben's superior? Is she Faraday's mom in Oxford?
Anyone have thoughts? Answers? More questions?
What a tangled, fun, fun, fun web we weave...
