Flash fucking forwards!
I don't think it's been properly recognized how genius this flash forwards thing is. Seriously. First, this show did something incredible by using the flashback device to tell character's stories. And now, they are using flash forwards to do the same thing, but also to explore a new mystery. It's so cool that it's made me not care about the other mysteries, now I'm just completely sucked in to how they got off the island, why they wanna go back, who got left behind, who died, what the hell is going on?!
It's just awesome and I don't think it's been acknowledged enough for its awesomeness.
Other things:
Hurley lost some weight, huh?
Unfortunately, so did Charlie. Yikes. He looks like an Olsen twin (is he still going out with Kate in real life? if so, she's obviously never seen him in those sunglasses)
The cop at the beginning (he used to be on 90210, he took Brenda to Senior Prom) looked so familiar, and I'm like, hey, was he on this show before? And then my brain went, oh wait, this is "Lost", he was on before so it means something. Then he goes "I knew someone on the flight..." and I yelled out in my empty apartment "Ana Lucia!!!" I'm a dork.
I'm sorry, but no way does Sawyer go with Locke. He wants off that island more than anyone, he'd take a chance on a helicopter, any helicopter.
One thing they need to change: stop putting the credits up front. I hate how at the beginning I can see Dominic Monaghan's name come up and know that Charlie is going to be in the episode, and that Fisher Stevens is gonna be one of the "rescuers" (he was the voice on the phone asking for Naomi). Just knowing that its Fisher Stevens means they must be evil, cause that guy always plays a dick.
He's so smug. It's like he's still cocky because he went out with Michele Pfeiffer 1n 1988 when he had no business doing so. No business! Sorry bro, but you'll always be the Indian dude from "Short Circuit" to me.

I am so glad it is back because your recaps always crack me up. I said to my roommate while we were watching that they probably had Hurley be one of the "Oceanic 6" so people would stop asking why he hasn't lost any weight. Also, "Oceanic 6" ?!? Genius!
Was the season premiere 2 hours? It's only showing up on my TIVO as 1 hour.
I wonder if the "Oceanic 6" were only people from Locke's "team" of if we're to think that Jack, Kate, and Hurley are 3 of the 6?
I did not know that about Fisher Stevens. He's a goofy looking dude, though. It's funny that I actually remember him in "Short Circuit," and I saw that when it first was released on video. Probably Beta. Yikes.
Also, I thought they always used the same credits listing so that you won't be expecting the dead to show up in the episode. Isn't Ian Somerhalder's name still in the credits?
Also, to anonymous, the first hour was a recap. I watched it just to see how they'd wrap 3 years' worth of WTF-ness into 1 hour. They left out probably 80% of the story, but it did remind me of things I'd forgotten. So it was a little helpful.
So how could the other mental patient see Charlie as well? He told Hurly that someone was waiting for him. Also, did you all happen to notice when they showed Jacob that it was actually Jack's dad sitting in the chair??? Awesome!
Irwin: Of course im here!! :-)
p.s.. the only thing i remember about Short Circuit (and i think this comes from the 2nd one) is "Your mama was a snowblower!" haha
To Lisa D: Are you serious about Jacob?! I'm going to have to re-watch just for that. CRAZY.
I long for Irwin's recaps. Evier, find online people to watch Lost with. I made my cousin watch the second season, and then we invited one of her friends, and now we look forward to get together to watch Lost. it's awesome.
I did not notice the Jack's dad thing, and I fricking deleted the episode! Dammit! I'm gonna find a rerun and check that out, that's amazing.
They don't use the same credits. It's whoever is in the show that week, and I try my best to avoid it but it's damn near impossible, especially when Julie Bowen is involved.
I thought it was easy to believe Sawyer would go with Locke... what's he got to go back to? It was harder to believe Kate would go with Jack... she was a captured fugitive, after all.
Heidi, here's where I would disagree with you: remember when Michael built the boat in season 1? Sawyer bribed his way on with all the stuff he "stole" off the plane. And Kate tried to steal Sawyer's spot, and then he outed her as a criminal to get it back. I'm just saying he really wanted off, no matter what.
