“Lost” is back. We’re obsessed with it and also a little bored.
*SPOILERS*
We now know John Locke is the smoke monster. Huh? He’s also dead. His dead body is on the ground but Locke is walking around.
He’s not Jacob. Jacob is dead but he’s talking to Hurley. That’s nice of him. Jacob is dead, but talks. Juliet is dead, but she’s really dead. I think that’s because she’s on a new series.
Desmond and Charlie come and go. Desmond and Jack have marks on their necks. Jack’s father’s body is missing. Maybe. Because Jack and everyone else are now on two tracks: After Oceanic 815 has successfully landed in Los Angeles, and back on the island.
Missing from the flight: Shannon. Boone says he couldn’t help his sister out of a bad relationship, Maggie Grace must have been unavailable.
I like that Miles is still around. I miss Charlotte. I’m sorry Daniel Faraday is dead. He’s the only one who knew what was going on.
Since all the Jacob stuff started, Ben seems to know a lot less than he used to. Too bad. He’s been diminished.
How many times can Jack, Kate, and friends be taken hostage by people they’ve never seen before in a fully built community? This time, it’s a temple. Did the Dharmans and the Others all not know about the Japanese guy and the hippie? Will the stewardess get revenge on everyone for driving her crazy on that flight?
And is the island really the Lost City of Atlantis? Or are all these theories and questions just all wet?
Fifteen more episodes. And I’ll be watching every one.

I can answer all your questions:
How many times can Jack, Kate, and friends be taken hostage by people they’ve never seen before in a fully built community?
As many times as it takes.
And is the island really the Lost City of Atlantis?
Given their tendency to shoot strangers, I’d say it was more likely Oakland.
Did the Dharmans and the Others all not know about the Chinese guy and the hippie?
They’d heard about them, but thought they were just myths. I mean hippies? Come on!
I’m not sure about the parallel reality. While it would be good to see glimpses of where their lives MAY have gone, I suspect it’ll end up being an overly focused waste of episode time. Slowing things down on the issues we really care about: Can someone please get Locke a bra?

[...] the prime example of a trade deadline smash. So, since I’m not bogged down today discussing The Show That Everyone Watched Last Night, I decided to go back and relive CC’s second-half a little, and see if it really was as good [...]
