Thursday Thirteen #27 (Lost)

Thirteen Thoughts/Questions About The Season Premier of "Lost"

Spoilers Below !!

1) I'm so happy it's back!

2) Couldn't they have shown a little bit more of Kate and Sawyer making out in the recap? I missed it the first time around. I'm deprived!

3) It was interesting how they pointed out that all of the characters are lost in their own lives, in addition to being lost on the island.

4) Why do the Other's leave the Frenchwoman alone? Remember, she hasn't seen Others, except for Alex, but she's heard them whispering. Although, now that we've seen the Others, I don't think that they're the ones who have been doing the whispering. Maybe that's the island instead.

5) Who is the leader of the Others? Is it Ben? Is it Tom? Someone else?

6) Is Alex the Frenchwoman's daughter?

7) If so, does that mean the Frenchwoman's husband (and Alex's Dad) - who she supposedly killed - is alive and running the Others? Or, perhaps the Others took Alex from the Frenchwoman when she was young and the leader raised her as his own.

8) Juliet appears to have been involved in fertility experiments, including an experiment on her sick sister. If the Others were planning to destroy the world, except for themselves, maybe they thought it would be a good idea to have a fertility doctor around who could help them reproduce in a post-apocalyptic world? Her ex-husband was such an a#%hole.

9) Judging by the timely demise of Juliet's ex-husband, apparently the Others were as seemingly all-powerful and all-knowing off the Island as they are on it.

10) Juliet's captivity explains her confusing behavior towards Jack, and the fact that she told him to kill Ben on the operating table. So, the Others are working on some kind of top secret project, so secret that they forcibly recruit people and then keep them prisoner? But, how can they trust Juliet to do the work she's supposed to be doing? I finally feel sympathy for Juliet and a spark of interest in her character.

11) They didn't show enough of Sayid, so right now this guy is still at the top of my list of super hot Indian men. Don't worry Sayid, I'm confident that will change after next week's episode when you race off to save Jack and remind everyone how dangerously sexy you are.

12) I don't think the Others were conducting a real experiment on Alex's boyfriend. It looked to me like they were punishing him and trying to drive him crazy. Or, perhaps it's a way to break him down psychologically to make him more pliant?

13) Why did Jack make Kate recite the story of that surgery? It was a little too neat and contrived, with her reciting and him performing a similar surgery at the same time. There was no reason for the Others to hear about a time that he had been afraid but ultimately successful.
