LOST - Nothing Happened
I'm just quoting Charlie to Claire. In fact lots happened and LOST keeps on delivering. A great show is one that introduces mysteries and solves them while introducing more mysteries. We now know the secrets of the hatch and so forth. The only thing I was disappointed in was the Libby story line. She's dead now and we didn't learn anything new about her character. In fact we have more mysteries surrounding her. And for the first time last night we got to see events that happened back in civilization. That's big. Here's what we know:
- Desmond was on the boat
- He couldn't leave the grip of the island
- Libby/Elizabeth gave him the boat
- Pushing the button was very important
- Desmond caused Flight 815 when he didn't push the button
- The plane crashed on 09/22/04, which was the date of the pilot
- Desmond's now dead partner was the Army guy who turned Sayid into a torturer
- The "other's" camp was just for show
- civilization went on after the plane crash just fine
- The bank tubes from the Pearl Station go nowhere
- Fake Henry Gale seems to be in charge of this group
- The "others" keep their word
- Penny is looking for Desmond
Here are the new questions:
- Did Locke, Eko, and Desmond survive?
- Did the swan station explode or just reverse magnetized?
- Why didn't anyone care to investigate?
- Will this "major event" cause another plane crash elsewhere on the island?
- If pushing the button is so important, why enter a set of six numbers instead of just one or none? Why not automate the flippn' thing?
- Is Libby short for Elizabeth or did she have a hidden agenda?
- What's with the big Homer Simpson foot statue?
- What's with the crazy pre-historic bird?
- Was it saying Hurley's name?
- Why weren't the bank tubes washed away in a rain storm or blown away by wind?
- Do the "others" cause the crazy whispering voices or was that just the island warning them of danger?
- Why did they let Hurly go and not the others?
- Where is their home?
- Will Michael and Walt make it off the island?
- Why are those Portuguese guys looking for the signal in the arctic?
- What signal are they looking for?
- Who much do they and Penny know about the island?
and the biggest question...Which cast members are signed on for next season?
