LOST Thoughts

Did you see the season premiere of LOST last night? I stayed up way too late to watch it off the DVR. It was great!

I want to "talk" about my thoughts after watching last night's show. If you haven't seen it and plan to, read no further. Spoilers ahead.

- Who are the "Oceanic 6"?

Obviously, Jack, Kate, and Hurley are 3 of them. I really don't have any idea who the other 3 are. I was going to go ahead and guess 3 more names, but I really haven't a clue.

- Who's in the coffin?

Jack said it wasn't a friend or family. When Jack told Kate that he thought she might be at the funeral, she said something to the effect of, "Why would I go?"

I think it's Michael. If the survivors told that he betrayed them, that would explain the lack of attendees at his funeral. I've seen speculation that it's Ben or Locke. I don't think it's either of them because they would never leave the island. The only thing I can't figure out is why Jack would be so distraught over Michael's funeral.

Of course, this is Lost. Everything could change, and probably will.

- I really cried when Charley showed up to talk to Hurley. His death was so incredibly sad. :( I do wonder, though, if they will have him as a recurring character (albeit a dead one). I'd like that.

- Is Jack's dad no longer dead? He referred to him in the hospital ("let's call my dad"), but he could be a little looney. He did seem to be headed that way.

- Why isn't Kate in jail?

I think it's possible that her mother had a change of heart after Kate disappeared. She may have given Kate an alibi for the murder once she showed up again.

This looks like it's going to be a great (but short!) season. I like the back and forth between the present and future. It's really keeping me guessing. Please share your own ideas in the comments if you'd like.
