The wait is almost over

Lost (aka "the only reason to turn on your television, ever") returns tomorrow night. I've already read the big spoiler. I've failed yet, again. I'm still anticipating a good show however. Also, Doc Jensen's column has returned on ew.com. Why anyone cares is beyond me. These were the four things he'd like to learn more about from the show:

1. The four-toed statue (mildly interesting)
2. The whispers (actually interesting)

3. The pile of unclaimed Pearl Station diaries (not a mystery: After Ben wiped out the dharma initiative, there was obviously no one left to retrieve them).

4. Desmond's inability to escape The Island after the castaways relieved him of button-pushing duty (not a huge mystery. We know the island breaks compass headings, magnetic interference, etc)

5. Why Mr. Friendly (may he rest in fake-bearded peace) told Kate, ''You're not my type.'' (who cares?)


I'd like to see answers to real questions:

1. Who was in the coffin?
2. Who got off the island and why?
3. Smoke Monster: wtf?
4. What do the noobs want with the island?
5. Why doesn't Richard age?
6. What happened to Michael & Walt
7. Was the "discovery" of flight 815 a cover-up? Why?
8. Does Penny find Desmond?
9. Jacob: what's the deal with that guy?

i watched with so much excitement last night!! what did you think? are they going to do flash forwards from now on??

regarding your questions:
1. i think it's Ben.
2. well now we *think* it's 6 of them right? jack, hurley, kate & who else? sawyer? juliet?
5. i was thinking EXACTLY the same thing last night. he never ages! maybe it's because he wears eye makeup...
9. i know!!! did you see him sitting in the chair?

i love lost :)

I don't think that's Ben in the coffin. In the newspaper report Jack reads when he learns of it says that the man is survived by a teenage son. That leads me to suspect it may be michael, but the coffin looked too small for someone 5'10/160lbs (roughly).

Oceanic 6 = Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Sun, Jin (already read official previews that name them). The big question there is who was left behind and why?

Heh, actually, believe it or not, Nestor Carbonell does not wear eye makeup, but I thought the same thing.

wtf was jack's dad doing in the chair and who was that that looked back at hurley in the cabin? I thought that was particularly odd. Why would hurley see jack's dad? Here's another weird one (if you haven't kept up with the mobisodes, this is the only one that is even relevant imo):
