The Island is the....

Premiere tonight. I'm stoked.

DON'T LET ME DOWN

This season is going to be awesome. Also, split timeline. What?

Oh, god...I sure don't miss the mindfucks

Sayid getting up at the end was kind of a buzzkill but other then that the premiere was pretty solid. Can't wait for the next episode (once again)

Also, I kinda have a feeling that we won't be seeing Charlie anymore

I dunno...if my 'alternate reality' theory is right, we shall be seeing a lot more of the old faces making a comeback...even though it isn't a comeback, because they never died in the first place

I don't know, man. It just felt like Boone and Charlie were there as a fan service, I don't see them doing anything intresting on the show. Both of them were characters that grew on you, but started out as kind of assholes. Now we'd have to start all over again and we only have one season to do it all in.

But I guess we'll find out tonight.

So... since when did Sawyer become such a whiny little bitch.

Also the twist at the end of premier was ruined becasue I watched the episodes online and the commercial just before the twist was scenes from tonight's episode of Sayid alive getting tortured by that Pai Mei wanna be... so I'm like, "oh, Sayid lives... damn you ABC internet commercials!!!"

Yenywho... I want lots more Richard this season, however, I have the feeling he isn't gonna be alive much longer.

The suporting cast for this season has been great so far. They have the deputy from Deadwood and Mac from Always Sunny.

Dude! Mac from Always Sunny is in it! The show would be infinitely better if Charlie tagged along.

Anyway, I believe that squirrely translator guy is going to see his own intestines before this season is through. The Pai Mei wannabe is probably going to die in some sort of collapsing temple or something... that's the vibe I get from him. Also, Sawyer is being a total dick right now, I want the old smart alec bad boy back. And after all Jack has seen, how can he be such a skeptic? He just survived a nuclear bomb, traveled through time, and saw his friend come BACK FROM THE DEAD all within like a 12 hour period! Seriously dude, get with the program here.

Here are the two people I want to see more than anything this season: Richard and Mr. Eko. That dude needs to come back somehow, I don't care. He was just too awesome.

I'm not so sure I'm digging this sideways-flash thing... also, why the fuck was Desmond on the flight? I wonder what business he had in Australia. I guess he won back Penny cause he was wearing a wedding ring. Something isn't adding up here. I hope they didn't throw him in for some fan service and he actually plays a part in this season. Same for Charlie.


ALSO: Was the Lost video game worth getting at all?

No. Not even close.

But yes, people are speculating that people's minds will begin to connect between the two timelines, mostly based on Juliet's last words.

Also, anybody else notice the numbers for each candidate? I wonder if that will be important ever.

And finally: "Well, that's the weirdest funeral I've ever been to."

So Sayid is a badass again... I'm very pleased.

What does everybody think of Kate? I don't think she'll stay with Jacob's Nemesis...

There was like nothing resolved the episode though, it was all just set up for the rest of the season. I'm kinda starved for answers to thing sthat happened a while ago already, like Libby in the mental ward, or that airdrop from like season one, or that mural in the Swan hatch... I don't think any of that is going to be resolved.

I can't remember if I've already posted this, and I'm too lazy to search through 4 whole pages...but anyways...

THIS is my favorite theory for pretty much the whole premise of the Lost universe. Unfortunately, the way the show has progressed over the last couple of seasons there's no way this would be possible. It would have explained so much...but anyways.

The past two seasons had been so heavily rooted in time travel that I'm a bit thrown for this season. Now it seems more rooted in good vs evil and manipulation of free will. All I can do now is watch and take it all in. Any speculation I have is just way off target.

For those not in the know, there are four people promoted to season regulars this season, though most are simply being upgraded from guest status. Richard and Lapidus are finally full-fledged cast members, and Claire is also back on the main cast. Additionally Ilana is part of the main cast for this final season.

I'm waiting for Libby to appear in the flash-sideways so we can finally get answers on her.

I miss that crazy bastard desmond, he was my favorite.

anyone else think we are in for a cheap ending? I just have the damnedest feeling that jack is going to be asleep on the plane and wake up and see everyone from the island around him and it was all a dream ala the wizard of oz, or some other equally cheap cop out ending? I sure hope not, but it wouldnt surprise me.

So now we know all about Richard Alpert. While the episode was a bit slow, at least Lost is legitimately answering some questions now.

I kind of miss the whole science-fiction feel Lost had from about season 2 until midway through last season. I really liked the theories that were out there, but most of those were 'killed off' and Alpert's episode was the final nail.

My biggest fear is that in the end it was all about aliens! Thank god the Richard episode did not support that theory.
