Wow. What a season premiere! It may be too soon to say this, and my view may be skewed since we made such an event of it, but I dare to say that was the best season opener yet! As you can see from the evidence below, we had a nice turnout for the Orange Peel Mouth Premiere party. Everyone followed the "no talking" rule quite nicely, so it goes without saying that by the end of the night we all had a billion questions and theories running through our heads. So let's talk about them. I'll try and get things started with some that I thought of or heard other people talking about. Please add your theories or your own questions to the comments! (And yes, if you haven't seen the new episodes, there are spoilers here. Duh.)
1. Do you think the Faraday who was working on the Orchid station in the opening sequence was the Faraday we know and love who somehow ended up in the past, or do you think at that point he had not traveled through time yet? (That is a hard question to phrase, hopefully you all get what I'm asking.)
2. Do you think Sun's intentions towards Widmore are good or bad? How about Kate? She seems a bit spiteful doesn't she?
3. Did you notice that when Faraday asks if all of the crash survivors are accounted for, Sawyers says that Locke is not, but doesn't mention Claire. Where is she in all of this?
4. Why does Sawyer want a shirt so badly, but doesn't seem to care about his lack of footwear?
5. Miles is Pierre Chang's baby: a possibility or just a racist assumption? Was the baby born on the island? If so, could the unleashed energy be the thing that's messing up all the baby-mamas?
6. What's with the people shooting the flaming arrows at the camp? Don't you think it's weird that they're shooing flaming arrows? The the dude in the jungle has a gun. Was he with Dharma, or maybe someone else? Are the arrow shooters and the gun dudes one in the same?
7. Do you think Ana Lucia pulling Hurley over was an intentional nod to her drunk driving arrest? Wouldn't have been funnier if Jin and Libby were in the back seat? (Though she did say "Libby says hi.")
8. Why is Charlotte the only one with a nosebleed? If they're all traveling, shouldn't they all be getting sick?
9. Ms. Hawkings. Good or bad? Could she be Faradays mother (time travel experts all look alike)? How does Ben get to her so fast?
10. How are the Constants so good?
By the way, I know at the inception of this blog I said that there would be episode recaps, but I'm realizing that it's A.) really hard and B.) pointless, since Lostpedia does a great job of summing everything up. Got a problem with that? Save it for the comments!
