STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Can't wait! I have no predictions but I'm so excited that it's back. I'm bummed that this season will only be 8 episodes though.

I'm psyched too! I need to do some refresher reading tho, it has been so long, I totally forgot where we left off.

I'm so excited! I can't wait!

I heard that this season is 16 episodes long. They've got 8 done, and if the writer's strike ends, they'll do the other 8 after a few weeks' break.

I thought it was really good but in classic Lost fashion, I"ve got way more questions now then I did at the end of last season and none of my original questions got answered.











*********************POSSIBLE SPOILER**********************************

How did Locke survive?
Is Charlie really dead?
Who are the rescuers?
Why do only 6 make it off the island?
Whose funeral was it in the flash forward last season?
Why do they NEED to get back to the island once they left?

LOST is such a bizarre show. I found myself completely bored by the episode, but at the same time, I'm intrigued and dying to know what is going to happen.

I'm did like the flash forward stuff. If there are an "Oceanic 6" I want to know who the other three are. We know three of them right?

Did anyone watch Eli Stone and see what the Oceanic thing was that they were dangling out there trying to entice us to watch the next show? I was curious but not enough to watch a whole different show.

I'm curous as to why Jack changed his mind about wanting to go back- in the finale he was saying how he flew to Japan or whereever every weekend hoping to crash, but last night he was saying that he was never going back.

I thought it was because they show bits and pieces out of timeline which makes it so confusing!  When Jack has a beard and wants to go back to the Island it's after he sees Hurley in the mental hospital saying he'll never go back.  He said he was thinking of growing a beard.

I think he shaved his beard before visiting Hurley and was putting on a front.  If you remember the first scene of the episode, Bearded Jack was watching tv and saw the car chase and realized it was Hurley.  Then Hurley went to the psych hospital where Jack visited him.  I think Jack was just putting on a front that his life was okay.

Here are my thoughts on this-

How did Locke survive?
Somehow Walt saved him. We saw this in the finale. And don't forget, the island has healing powers and Locke seems to be super-responsive to that (he healed faster than Ben.)

Is Charlie really dead?
From what I can tell, yes. He isn't on the cast list anymore and I've read in other sources that he is, in fact, dead.

Who are the rescuers?
I don't think they are rescuers at all. I don't think they were looking for the Oceanic survivors. They were looking for the island.

Why do only 6 make it off the island?
I think only 6 choose to leave the island. Locke will probably never leave because he doesn't want to be paralyzed again. Rose and Bernard may not leave because her cancer will come back.

My guess is the six are Hurley, Jack and Kate (we know this for sure) and Jin and Sun (because Sun is pregnant and knows pregnant women die on the island.) I think Juliet also leaves to get back to her sister. I would say that it's Danielle that leaves, but I don't think she would leave without Alex.

Whose funeral was it in the flash forward last season?
Not a clue.

Why do they NEED to get back to the island once they left? 
To get everyone else who is still there. Or maybe to go back to life on the island. Maybe once you're there, there is a constant draw to back.

Cortney1982, yes, I think they are keeping a secret about everyone else still being alive. The guy that visited Hurley asked Hurley directly if they were still alive and Hurley freaked out. Then Jack and Hurley had a conversation about it and Hurley said something like, "Did you think I'd talk?"

I loved the episode, by the way.
