Lost Is Back!!!!!!!!!!

You know you're obsessed with a show when you refuse to go to a Long Island Ducks game or even to a softball game just to watch it. But then again this isn't any ordinary show. This is the greatest show ever. I know that not all of you watch it, so for those of you who don't here's a brief recap to catch you up on speed and save you $80 on the season one box dvd set:

Basically 48 people survived a plane crash on a mysterious island in the South Pacific.

They're not the only ones on the island as there is also a previously stranded french woman and the 'Others' who nobody has seen.

In addition to that there's a security system that kills anyone who strays too far into the center of the Island and other unexplainable happenings such as the discovery of a hatch that can't be opened from the outside and people seeing dead relatives or hearing voices.

During the season finale several storylines were going on simultaenously. First off, you had four of the survivors trying to sail off on a make shift raft Gilligan's Island style. Meanwhile, the 'Others' sent out a warning that they are coming for 'the boy' who everyone assumes is Claire's baby. Makes sense since Claire was already abducted once by the Others. However, it turned out that they didn't want Claire's baby but rather Michael's boy, Walt, who has psychic powers. Walt was on the raft so the Others intercept him, shoot the Island's resident bad ass Sawyer, and torch the raft. While all that is going on everyone else is trying to open the hatch so that they can hide in it to get away from the Others.

Which brings us to the season premeire and several questions:

What will happen to the raft survivors and will all of them survive?

What will be down the hatch?

What's the deal with the numbers on the hatch?

How will the Locke/Jack feud be settled?

What has happened to Walt?

Who are the Others?

And many more.

I doubt all of those questions will be answered in the first episode if at all during the second season. Such is the way Lost operates. They really make you wait out the big mysteries of the show. But that's also what makes it great.

However, they have left some clues. SPOILER ALERT. READ ON AT YOUR OWN RISK IF YOU'RE A LOST FAN.

Here's what I hear will be revealed this season:

You find out what's down the hatch in the first episode and it has something to do with Jack's father.

Several characters who were killed off come back such as Jack's father, Arzt, and Boone leading us to believe that survival on the Island is all relative as Locke put it.

There will be the discovery of tail end survivors including Michelle Rodriguez.

There will be a love trapezoid between Michelle's character, Jack, Kate, and Sawyer.

The franchise, Samuel L. Jackson will make a guest appearance.

There will be the discovery of a Nigerian drug smuggler.

The survivors will be divided into two camps, those who believe in fate and that everything has been happening for a reason, and those who don't.


I don't know about you but 9 o'clock can't come fast enough. Keep checking back for more Lost coverage every week.
