I don't even remember half of those people's names at this point.

I seriously find it hard to care at this point.  it inevitably draws me in, but I am less intrigued each successive season.

Yup.

Yup.

why doesn't their facial hair ever change.  How does Sawyer maintain his 5 O Clock shadow for 39 days

Has no one mentioned to you that it's a magic island?

[Beefy]

They've shown several characters shave on the island.

YAY

Believe it or not, I've stayed away from most spoilers about the season opener.  I've read some interviews with the showrunners about how they're going to handle the overall season, but in a general way.

That said, knowing how they like to open their seasons with a bang, and knowing some of the things they have to start addressing, I have some predictions for possible ongoings tonight.  I'll smallinate it and you can all call me a loser when I'm wrong.  Heck, you're already calling me a loser anyway.  I thrive on your vitriol.

- They will establish early on that is not where the island went but when.

- The usual character flashbacks and forwards will be gone as the show becomes increasingly a series of back and forwards through time.  (They have hinted heavily at this so it's not much of a guess)

- There has to be a surprise cameo, someone you don't think you'll see.  They love doing that.  I'm guessing someone from Season 2 - Eko, Ana Lucia, or Libby.

- Jack will be annoying

- Jin is alive, but did he move in time with the island or is he wading out in the middle of the ocean?  That would be funny, actually.  Or maybe "alive" has no real meaning anymore since you could just pluck him from a time when he was alive and bring him forward.  They could have fun with it.

- I bet it becomes even more confusing than ever with all the time hopping.  Last seasons big time hoppers with Desmond (especially) and Farraday (to a lesser extent) are probably good indications.

- We'll see either smokey or the foot, but only one of them.  Still no explanation.

Any guesses from you?

[Beefy]

Oh, and I bet with Kate and Jack off the island, Sawyer starts going shirtless a lot more.  Have to keep that sex appeal quotient up.  Maybe Juliet will get in her skivvies.

Is that how you spell skivvies?  Firefox isn't marking it as misspelled.  Looks weird to me.

[Jessie]

haha I read that as Sawyer walked onscreen shirtless, and they started DISCUSSING him being shirtless.  HAHA

Also, the Dharma dude is a terrible actor.

[Beefy]

Candle wasn't very good, but it makes you wonder who is son is.

Show is kicking ass so far.

[Beefy]

Love the frenetic pace and short commercial breaks.

[Beefy]

I CALLED THAT SHIT

[Jessie]

This is going to be as bad as Heroes as far as alive/dead goes.

Totally different.  Lost has established ground rules.  Heroes never did.
