So Lost finally made it's big return this past week and, not surprisingly, I'm just as confused as ever, but in a good way. The two hour premiere packed a whole lot in it that will probably take a couple more viewings for me to figure it all out. We certainly got a fair share of answers (What happened to Cindy and the kids, the Man in Black is also Smokey, what was in the guitar case), but also a new slew of questions(What did Juliet mean by 'it worked', how did Sayid survive, what the hell is going on with these 'flash sideways'). It was also cool to see so many past characters return (Leslie Arzt, Boone, the marshal, Frogurt!)
I could spend days discussing everything, but I did want to give a special shout out to Terry O'Quinn, who is doing some of his best acting work recently. Portraying the menacing Man in Black, while also displaying the kind, vulnerable Locke in these flash sideways has been quite impressive.
Lastly, check out this video showing the opening scene from season 1 side by side with the way the season opened this year. There are some key differences between the two that I'm sure everyone will be deciphering from now until the series ends in a couple of months.
