We're three episodes in, and so far this season of Lost is looking like the best ever. New characters, new flash-forwards, and we even know the identities of four of the Oceanic Six. And how about that bomb in the final seconds of last night's episode. Anyone see that coming?
But with every episode, we get about a hundred new questions. I'd love to start a little Lost conversation, like we used to have, so I'm listing a few spoilerish questions...after the jump.
So, in the final moments, we find out Sayid becomes Ben's hitman. So first...why? And who else is on the list? (lot's of lists on this show)
Both Naomi and Elsa wore bracelets from R.G. Is R.G. the economist? And is the economist Matthew Abbadon, the man who organized the expedition and visits Hurley in the future. And is he part of the original Dharma Initiative?
According to Professor Faraday's experiment, the island lost 31 minutes. So how long is that in Jack's "100 days since we got here" time? And how does time travel fit into everything, and will it explain why Walt is 57 now?
From the looks of Ben's secret agent closet, he seems to get off the island whenever he feels like it. So what does he do when he's away? And is that why everyone wants to kill him?
Also, who are the final two members of the Oceanic Six? Who is Ben's spy on the Boat (Michael, anyone?) Is Jacob's cabin a mobile home? Why is Miles stealing Sawyer's jokes? Are Sun and Jin still on the show? And wasn't there a four toed statue somewhere at one point?

So based on that experiment with the 31 minute time gap... isn't that about the extent of Desmond's glimpses into the future? Could the two be related?
THis season is killer so far. And at first I loved the Ben/Sayid angle. But the more I thought about it, the more annoyed I am with it. Can't they just kill this guy already. Why is Ben have to be Michael Myers. If he was saved for key episodes (smoking man from X-files) I'd accept it but now it just seems stupid.
No, it's looking more and more like Ben is a crucial piece of the puzzle. Also, not sure about the 31 minute gap being related to Desmond. His vision of Charlie's death was a day or two before it happened.
I didn't take the 31 minute gap to be fixed. I just took it that Time was moving more slowly (or faster, can't remember which) on the island. The rescuers had only been there a day or so and already there was a 31 minute difference. Desmond had been there months, so the gap between himself and the world he left would have grown longer.
That means that to someone on the island, they'd return to the real world in the future. So when the Oceanic Six return to the world. they'll realize years have gone by.
Or only days, if I've got it the wrong way around.
Oh, and never mind the statue, I still want to find out who those bodies were in the cave from season one.
I'll take a run at these:
Q.) So, in the final moments, we find out Sayid becomes Ben's hitman. So first...why?
A.)Ben tells us when he asks Sayid, "don't you want to save your friends?" Clearly these people are threat to the Oceanic 6 or those still living on the island.
Q.) And who else is on the list?
A.) Even Money says that Charles Widmore (Penny's Dad) is on that list as well.
Q.) Both Naomi and Elsa wore bracelets from R.G. Is R.G. the economist? And is the economist Matthew Abbadon, the man who organized the expedition and visits Hurley in the future.
A.) Or more creepy what if Sayid Kept Naomi's Bracelet and gave it to Elsa.
Q.) And is he part of the original Dharma Initiative?
A.) I think he is part of the original funders of Dharma.
Q.)According to Professor Faraday's experiment, the island lost 31 minutes. So how long is that in Jack's "100 days since we got here" time? And how does time travel fit into everything, and will it explain why Walt is 57 now?
A.) No Clue
Q.) From the looks of Ben's secret agent closet, he seems to get off the island whenever he feels like it. So what does he do when he's away? And is that why everyone wants to kill him?
A.) Or does everyone want him dead because he murdered all the Hippies from the Dharma Project?
Q.) Also, who are the final two members of the Oceanic Six?
A.) Sun and Aaron (They won't kill off the baby)
Q.) Who is Ben's spy on the Boat (Michael, anyone?)
A.) I'm going with Michael.
Q.) Is Jacob's cabin a mobile home?
A.) Could be, Jacob does look like a hillbillie.
Q.) Why is Miles stealing Sawyer's jokes?
A.) Not sure but I like miles more every day.
Q.) Are Sun and Jin still on the show?
A.) Yes, but they are collecting wood with Rose and Barnard.
Q.)And wasn't there a four toed statue somewhere at one point?
A.) Yes and before the Writer's strike happened the producers promised to visit the four toed statue before the end of Season 4.
Walt 57? What did I miss?
Aaron was born on the Island & not one of the original passengers. But what about the reason the Psychic wanted him to die if Claire didn't raise him?
Juliete & Desmond were also NOT on the plane.
If its Dharma coming after Ben then why keep sending supplies? And why does a missile take 30 minutes longer but apparently doesn't when you ride in a helicopter?
