LOST - Season Premiere Wednesday 9:00 PM EDT

Well I think it's illogical to wander alone when you know there are polar bears around. I just think that there is a serious disconnect between the characters actions and what has happened just previously in the series. Polar bears are just one example .. they just seem unfazed by strange events. Like the teacher exploding - that was covered in like one sentence.

I still maintain that Shannon is the most dangerous person on the island.

glad to known I'm not the only one who dislikes her character - aside from the French, she's as smart as a sack of broken hammers and about as useful.

I miss Boone.

I hope they kill more characters next year.

The song in the bunker sounded like something from The Carpenters (and the lead voice sounded like Karen Carpenter), so that would place it in the early-to-mid 70s. The computer equipment could easily be early 70s or late 60s, so that time frame seems appropriate.

Why the hangup with smoothies? This is so unusual? People have made things like that for decades before the term 'smoothie' was coined. Protien powder from stores and some fresh veggies/fruit from a hydroponic garden or trips to the outside so you don't get scurvy.

D00d... those weren't criticisms. Just things I found interesting and amusing (eg. lost on some deserted island, and there's a hot shower and available smoothies just a short jaunt away).

No "hangups" here.

Oh, and there's no reason to believe that Desmond didn't live on the island, then leave it to put things in motion, then come back. Seems perfectly workable.

Look at the two washing machines that are visible in the bunker. They don't look like old models. Even seems like they had small digital displays

So, what, he's this incredible mastermind who managed to engineer the whole thing, but when some of the people he manipulated into being there finally show up, he freaks out and ends up pulling a gun on them?

BTW, I alternately like and am annoyed how the writers use things that are actually really simple but can be misinterpreted easily to build suspense. (especially when they come up in previews of the next episode)

Like the deal with the shaft of white light that shot out of the hatch, looking like something out of an alien abduction story - until you know there's a mirror down there, and once Jack goes down, can see the large halogen lamp aimed just right to reflect from the mirror and shine straight up...

And speaking of mirrors - considering the amount of time Desmond spends setting them in position to be able to see the hatch, didn't it make you wonder what else he might have had them set up to watch, that was more important than the entrance?

My apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I am pretty sure I saw it somewhere else and not here:

When Jack's wife-to-be was brought into the ER, and he made the decision to help her insteado of the driver of the SUV she wrecked into, on of the paramedics said "Adam Rutherford, 57, chest trauma, no breath sounds".

Shannon's last name is Rutherford, and her father died when she was a teenager, right?

I think so but could not find it Now did notice that Maggie Grace (Shannon) B-Day was 09/21!
