Lost Redux: Welcome, New People! (Please Don't Shoot the Losties)

Thu Feb 7, 11:30 PM PST

If you haven't already tuned up your TiVo and seen Lost's second episode of the season, "Confirmed Dead," then under no circumstances should you read this. But if you have, strap on your parachute and dive on in! 

WHAT WE LEARNED

Titanic, Meet Oceanic:  Hot damn! There's a plane at the bottom of the ocean, and it's supposed to be no-survivors, 325-passengers-confirmed-dead flight 815! (By the way, that plane they found is obviously soooo not 815!) How in the heck is Oceanic going to explain away the Six when they return? And what the heck? Frank was supposed to be the pilot of Oceanic 815? (P.S. I myself had a little rendezvous with Frank in Hollywood tonight...Stay tuned for more on that in the section below!)

Excessive Anxiety:  When Daniel Faraday was asked why he was so upset by the discovery of the Oceanic 815 wreckage, did you believe his "I don't know?" I didn't. I suspect that he was broken-hearted that Oceanic 815 wasn't where he calculated it would be: The Island.

Where's Madison?  Is it just me, or is the dog playing Vincent not Madison, the pretty girl puppy who used to play Vincent? They better find that real dog before Michael gets back on that island. (Whoops, did I say that out loud?)

Gas Mask, Huh?  Daniel's crew is carrying gas masks, just like the ones Inman (Clancy Brown) used when he dragged Desmond in off the beach. What, exactly, is everyone not supposed to be breathing? The smoke monster? Speaking of which, I LOL'd like you wouldn't believe when Locke held a gun to Ben's head and demanded "What's the monster?" I'm sure that's precisely what (Lost bosses) Damon and Carlton have felt like from time to time with we fans. (Only they're not, you know, evil.)

What Guy's Map? Did you hear the ROV operators refer to "the coordinates we pulled of our guys' map?" Any theories as to who that guy is, and what exactly "sunken trading ship" the coordinates were supposed to pinpoint?

Kate, Juliet, Jack, Grunny:  I positively wanted to kiss Kate when she almost pulled the gun out of Daniel's pants, just like she did with Sawyer waaaaay back in the pilot. Also, Juliet and Kate giggling at Jack's "wink thing" was hilarious. And speaking of pilots...Grunny! Awesome to see our boy Greg Grunberg, aka the pilot, again, even if was just in a still photo on a TV. Hopefully he can come back for another cameo in the future. Also, Miles going after Juliet kind of freaked me out, but yay for Jack getting in the way.

Eggs!  If you haven't yet called the Oceanic Airlines 815 Crash Hotline, do it. Do it now. 888-458-0034

QUOTES OF THE NIGHT

  • "Karl! No, if you're going to sleep with my daughter, I insist you call me Ben."   •  "I don't know Miles, how stupid are you?" – Jack   • "Sure, who are we to argue with taller ghost-Walt?!" – Sawyer   •  "Crash? What the hell kind of pilot do you think I am? I put her down safe and sound right over there." – Frank

 

WHAT LIES AHEAD

  • The previews promised another Oceanic Six reveal next week, but we will also learn about another major main character who's out in the world in the future, who doesn't fall under that banner. Who is that person? The end of this ep pretty much gives it away.   • Remember the headspace Sayid was in at the beginning of the series, where he was gonna go straight and not torture people anymore and try to play nice with his fellow man? Well, in the future, that's all shot to hell. Emphasis on shot.   • When I recently spoke with Jeff Fahey (Frank the kick-ass pilot), he narrowed down his character's role to three possibilities: He's the devil, he's god, or he's there to impregnate the whole Island. What the hey? For more gorey details on that, check back next week for the video, but in the meantime...   • Crazy Lost Theory of the Week: This one is inspired by Jeff Fahey's comment and some educated guessing. I think the new people have come to the Island to impregnate all the women because only children born on the Island can own or operate the location's priceless time-travel capabilities. Wait, did I just say time travel? Yes, yes, I did. Tee-hee.
