Crack TV is back with the premiere of Lost, and I must cherish every moment of it since this is the final season.  If you haven’t yet been sucked into this addictive show, I advise you to not watch the final season until you see it from the beginning.  I once watched four seasons of Lost in a week, so I’m sure you’ll catch up with it quickly.

But first of all, I just wanted to mention how many times they had to play that clip of Juliet, the bomb, the rock, and the “Come on, you son-of-a-b” line during the recap and premiere – like four times?!

Warning!  Spoilers ahead!  Do not read on until you’ve seen the premiere.

The sixth and final season is going to be filled with the answers of all the questions, but already, more questions have been raised.  Where was Shannon and why did Jack recognize Desmond on the plane, not to mention why was Desmond even on the plane?  We finally met other Others at the Temple who have been hiding for five seasons.  Where’d they come from?  Why was the island underwater in the alternate reality of “If Oceanic 815 never crashed?”  Why did Juliet say the bomb worked?  What happened to Christian’s body?

On the other hand, one of the answers we got was that “Esau”, or the Man in Black, is the Smoke Monster, but we still have to find out why he couldn’t kill Jacob himself.  I just loved when Richard dragged Ben by the arm to show him Locke’s smiling body on the beach, and the surprised look on his face.

I came across an interesting Harry Potter Horcrux theory of Jacob while reading various opinions online.  Jacob embedded a part of his soul into each of the people that he has touched in the past, and these people will have to come together to resurrect Jacob, the good, in order to fight off “Esau”, the evil – a battle for the island.  This would be interesting, but a total rip off of J. K. Rowling.

I also found another article about the premiere and how the story now flashes sideways instead of forward or backward.   You can read it here.

And lastly, about Juliet.  I’ve never liked her when she was introduced to us in Season Three – the worst of them all.  Sawyer (James) can be a real jerk but when Juliet and Sawyer are together, they’re one of the sweetest couples.  I’m not sad that she died but I feel sorry for Sawyer because he loved her so much, maybe even more than Kate, and somehow I think their relationship was more than just for convenience, since they both were stuck in the 70’s together for those three years.  Juliet calmed his soul the way Kate never fully could.  But she’s gone…for now, at least.  People might start coming back from the dead, like Sayid!
