I missed the Lost episode last Wednesday because my DVR decided not to record it. Even though I have the show set to tape every episode it failed to record last week. Last night I watched both episodes at once and boy have things gotten interesting!
We found out a few things about the island and it looks like we will find out even more things next week. No questions were really answered but a few new questions did pop-up.
Spoiler Warning
Early on a lot of fans speculated that the survivors were all dead and living in some sort of purgatory. The producers came out and debunked that theory. After watching last nights show we learned that Locke’s dad came to the island after being injured in an auto accident. While on his way to the hospital he seems to have died and then woken up on the island.
We also found out that Locke’s dad is the same Tom Sawyer that Sawyer has been looking to kill since he was a kid. If memory serves me right Sawyer killed Jack’s dad in Sydney after mistaking him for the man that destroyed his family. Well, he was actually setup to kill Jack’s dad by someone else but, that is old news.
The woman who parachuted in was saved by the one-eyed man. Can no one stay dead on this island? When she became coherent she began telling the Losties that the wreckage of the Oceanic flight 815 was found and everyone died.
Now, I’ve never heard of anyone jumping out of a helicopter with a parachute before. Wouldn’t the blades kill you? Perhaps she is also dead now?
Ben is almost fully recovered now. He told Locke that just being near him made the healing speed up. Is Locke some sort of focal point for healing on the island now? With him in the camp of the "Others" will the Losties find their powers of healing diminish?
The producers have stated that they want to end the show at some point, probably in the fourth season. It looks to me as if a lot of the early questions about the island are about to be answered before season three ends. Will there be a season four?
What about Desmond? He tried to leave the island and no matter which way he sailed he always came back.
What about the one-eyed man being alive again? Did the woman he shot also come back to life? Could that explain why she told him to kill her?
A few weeks ago I thought everything was leading in one specific direction, now I’m just as Lost as I was during season one!
What the heck is going on?

Actually, Sawyer didn’t kill Jack’s dad. He killed a man he thought was the real Sawyer.
Please tell me you are kidding

Not kidding. That’s the man Sawyer killed. Jack’s dad encouraged him to kill him. They only talked.
I thought Sawyer killed Jack’s dad after talking to him in the bar? I have the season one and two DVD box sets, now I have to dig them out!
Gah! I’ve been working on my house for a few weeks and have fallen behind on the show. I’m seriously going through withdrawals. You should put a spoiler warning in posts like this though ;)
I added a bold spoiler warning to the text!
That Sawyer (original) was pretty irritating in the show. I was almost glad to see Sawyer (James) kill him, but for the fact that I don’t trust Locke as far as I can throw him (which probably isn’t too far at all).
That new woman who parachuted in is a mystery to me. And on a side note, I think that it might be possible to parachute from a helicopter because the blades push air downward. Plus you could free fall for a bit before releasing the ‘chute and thus avoid getting it chopped up by the helicopter blades.
