LOST 5.01 - God Help Us All
The season premier of LOST did something no show has done in the history of everything. They started up just where the final two seasons ended. On the island we see the results of the island move at the end of season 4. In L.A., Jack continues his journey back to the island which he started at the end of season 3. The flashback scene (or flashforward scene?) was with Daniel Faraday at the construction of the Orchid Station. On the island Locke has some non-linear conversations with the Others and the beach survivors freak out at their new situation. Off the island, the Oceanic Six deal with the situations which will bring them all together and back to the island. It was a great episode but we didn't learn much new. Here are the new questions:
- Is the island moving through time or is it fixed and the survivors moving through time?
- Why are both Locke and Juliet moving through time? Shouldn't Juliet be with the rest of the Others? If Locke is truly the leader of the Others, why isn't he with the rest of the Others? It seems that either one of them shouldn't be unstuck.
- Is Daniel working on the Orchid station in his future or past?
- Did Desmond not remember meeting Daniel because it didn't happen the first time? Otherwise why did he suddenly remember it then?
- Did the problems on the island really happen because Jack (and the Oceanic Six) left like Ben said? If this is true, why did Richard let them go?
- Why does Sun want to kill Ben?
- Who hired the lawyers to question the parentage of Aaron?
- Why does Desmond need to find Daniel's mother? What can she do to help?
