Lost: The Beginning of the End

Yeee hawwwwww!! Lost is back!! I've waited so long and it didn't disappoint. Exactly. I mean, there were some things I wasn't thrilled about. Like, how was Hurley able to find Jacob's cabin so easily? That seemed cheap. But I liked it.

Now, time for my sort of review/questions that must be asked.

Hurley- It was a Hurley episode so most of the questions will be about him. Why was he able to see Jacob? Locke only caught a small glimpse of him. Locke was only able to see him because he was "special." Does this mean Hurley is special too? Even more special than Locke? The only real mystery he's had until now was the numbers. The numbers= special? The numbers = JACOB?! Probably not.Why was Hurley able to see Charlie off the island? Cause he's really crazy or... what? Wait a sec, I just remembered something. Remember when Ben told Locke that "Jacob is not a person you go see, he's a person who summons you"? It was something like that. So... Jacob wanted to see Hurley? As Hurley tried to run away, the cabin appeared in front of him once again and the door opened slowly... Jacob inviting Hurley inside for a little chat? Why is Hurley important to Jacob? The mystery deepens...

Jack- Not a lot going on on the Jack front in this episode. He was pissed at Locke. Tried to murder him. Thought about growing a beard in the future. Other than that... he was boring.

Kate- Kate is always boring, this episode was no exception.

Locke- Locke is in an odd situation. Locke knows the people coming are no good, but, well, no one is going to listen to him. He killed Naomi (sooner or later). He blew up the submarine. He blew up the hatch. History is not on his side. And neither is the future, apparently. Hurley said he should have gone with Jack, so that leads one to believe things don't turn out so great for Team Locke. I hope they don't screw Locke over. He's my favorite character but they seem to love having him fuck up.

Sawyer- What's going on here? He seems to be pretty much back to normal. Last season, near the end, he kept getting darker and darker after killing Cooper. What happened to that? Charlie's death shook him back to his senses? Lame. I want dark Sawyer back!! He was way more interesting. He did end up leaving with Locke, and thus leaving Kate behind. Good for him. He can do better.

Desmond- Not much going on with him. He told everyone about Not Penny's Boat and then kind of looked upset when Hurley told Claire about Charlie's death. I'm thinking this season will be a lot about him feeling bad about Charlie. I wonder what they're going to do about his future sight?

Sayid- Boring, as usual. Although I hear he's got some very interesting stuff coming up soon ;)

Ben- Got beat up by a woman. I can't wait til the ball's back in his court. He's one of the best villians ever, but he can't be bad ass if he's tied up and getting beaten up by women. Although he doesn't seem too worried really. Perhaps because he's... ALREADY LIVED THROUGH THIS ONCE BEFORE?!

Claire- Boring. Was it just me or did she seem only kind of upset about Charlie? I mean, she was upset, but... it seemed fake. Bad acting, perhaps?

Alright, that's it for now. It was a good first episode back and it's to my understanding that it only gets better from here. It just sucks there's only going to be 7 more episodes and then it's going off air again. Ah well, better enjoy it while we have it.
