Lost

(TrackBack)

Holy christ the season 2 premiere of Lost was spectacular. There's probably some spoilers coming up so skip by if you're not up with the series.

As a whole, unless you read up on, or are incredibly observant, it's possible to miss out on a huge amount of clever writing within the show. A couple of things came to my mind while watching episode 1: Desmond had a strange symbol on his shirt in the arena. The number "108" written on the wall in the bunker is the sum of all "the numbers". There was bunks in the bunker so someone else must have been there at some time. Quarantine was written on the inside of the hatch because Desmond thought he was quarantining himself from the world? Finally the stuff Desmond injected had "the numbers" printed on the side of the bottle.

After skimming over an epic 34 page thread on SA note the above and someone further suggests that everyone on the island has been given some sort of wish and their time on the island maybe payment for such. Jack got his missus walking, Locke got back use of his legs, Kate got free, Michael got his kid back, where Sun, Jin, Claire and Charlie come into it is anyones guess. Someone also raises the point that bunker had been there a while, the computer was an Apple II (from the 80s) and Jack had obviously met Desmond later than that...

Anyway I am going to call that they introduce a bunch of new characters this season, we're a bit limited with the 4 or 5 we focused on before. Maybe they'll fish up some survivors of the Black Rock?
