Since the time difference prevents me from joining the live Lost dork fest with the rest of you...I figured I would post my initial reaction to this final season intro extravaganza. As always with the beginning of a season we get more questions than answers, but there is certainly one question looming in my head. How are they going to finish this final season and NOT convince me that the island=purgatory? I get the feeling that someone called them out during season 2 and they immediately backpedaled -- "Haha of course the island isn't purgatory...that would be super lame *gulp*"
Seriously though...we are getting some sort of flash-sideways? Are there two simultaneous realities? How is this not purgatory?
Also, I like the fact that there are two 'new' things happening on the plane: the presence of Desmond (could have any number of interesting explainations) and the non-presence of Shannon (only explained by the fact that she was "too busy" to film this season).
I wish I had Lost in HD because it is so much less entertaining in SD grainy glory.
I think John Locke transformation over the series arch will be one of Lost's greatest accomplishments (along with finally killing Juliet off). Seriously who could go from mystery man to outsider to leader to pariah to supervillan but John Locke?
Anyways those are my initial thoughts...
