The Beginning of the End (Season Premier)

Hurley said "I'm one of the Oceanic 6". So six of them get off the island. Jack, Kate, Hurley, and 3 others. So the question is, is everyone else dead, or still stranded on the island? If they are still alive, why don't the 6 tell anyone about them?

I was doing some thinking about the last episode. The question about why Jack was so shaken up about the death of someone who was neither friend nor family. I was thinking that perhaps it was someone who Jack believed wasn't supposed to die for some reason. Of course, we now know that Jack and Hurley (and presumably the other 4 as well) are keeping silent about something, and they are feeling guilty. So perhaps the person who died killed himself because of the guilt, and that amplified Jack's guilt.

So if everyone else is dead, what does Hurley need to do to help them? Tell their stories? Go back for them?

Notice that Hurley said about "It" wanting them to go back. I wonder what odd things happen to them after they are rescued. Odder than the things that he would hallucinate, considering that he knows that he hallucinates. I assume that "It" is the island.

I still think it is possible that at the end of the season, after seeing all the problems that result from it, Desmond will flash back to the beginning, and stop Charley from turning off the jamming signal.

Oh, yeah. And why wasn't Kate still wanted by the police. Did she get a pardon for being a survivor?

Any thoughts?

(Later...) I just had another thought (yes, Andy, it did hurt). There was a cover-up about the crash, presumably by Oceanic. They claimed they found the remains of flight 815 on the bottom of the ocean. Perhaps the six were convinced to go along with the cover-up, and not tell the whole story. Which could mean that the rest of the survivors are still on the island, waiting to be rescued.

Season 4 begins Jan. 31

This season, Lost will be on Thurs. instead of Wed., so plan your weeks accordingly. The trailer looks fantastic. (watch out Anne, the trailer may have spoilers)


The producers of Lost decided to split the last 48 episodes into three seasons of 16 episodes, instead of two seasons of 24 episodes. The reason for this was so they could air each season uninterrupted. However, because of the writers strike, they currently only have 8 episodes of season 4 so far. So it looks like the season will be interruped after all. The question is, will season 4 have a break between the first 8 episodes and the last 8, or will season 4 be 8 episodes?
