LOST - Season Premiere Wednesday 9:00 PM EDT

More interesting to me is the mural on the wall, with the number 108 written several times...

Well, those numbers seem to be everywhere, don't they? I'd be surprised if some reference to the 4 8 15 16 23 42 sequence wasn't there.

Whatching the 1st season on DVD I noticed a running theme. Several of the episodes open with the camera on someones eye, someone waking up. Thats how I knew I was the right channel.

Yeah, they did that for every episode that they could - if they couldn't it was usually because the episode was an immediate continuation from the one previously.

Actually, the episodes usually opened with someone waking up, and ended at night.

When we read the Odyssey in high school, it was pointed out to us that every chapter began in the morning, and ended at night.

The fact that Lost does the same thing (when feasible) is not...lost on me.

Those numbers add up to 108.

Another connection between the passengers: the man who Sarah crashed into and killed apparently was Boone and Shannon's dad.

Oh? I don't recall Boone and Shannon's dad ever appearing last season. What episode was he in?

That was my point.

I think we just knew they (parents) died in a car wreck. I'll have to check it though.

I was pleased. I fully expected, and continue to expect, the solution to each mystery to be another, deeper, mystery. If you want all the answers, go see a movie. For a show like this to continue to keep an audience it has to reveal just enough so that we are not being strung along, but it also has to present enough new questions for us to want more answers.

The fact that there is a guy living in the hatch is a pretty big revelation. And the fact that he had a previous connection to Jack makes it bigger. Add in that he has the sum of Hugo's numbers written all over the walls, and things are beginning to be tied together.

fett527, great catch on Kate's counting going back to the Pilot episode. It is little things like this that keep the show internally consistant.

I want to see what happened to Walt, and the rest of the guys on the raft, but I'm willing to wait until next week. Great episode.

Very well put. I agree wholeheartedly!

Those numbers add up to 108.

Which, in turn, was the number of their flight. Wheels within wheels.....

Had never seen an episode. Caught the last half of the preview show, then watched the premeir. Me = hooked.
