Decent episodes and nice to have it back, but fuck me, this show is a headfuck. Some good theories on here though.

One thing I noticed - i''m CERTAIN that the clip in the first episode of S6, where theres a little music+slow motion scene where on the plane, Jack reaches up for his suitcase and turns to Locke and smiles at him, is lifted directly from the first series. Which we were assuming at the time were showing the events leading up to the crash (characters bumping into each other on the plane etc), not after the crash would have happened (because in the first season 6 episode, this scene happens when they're about to get off the plane, and everyone else has already left).

I don't know, without watching the early episodes I can't possibly be 100% sure. Maybe it was just a nice reference/juxtaposition of the similar encounter happening in the alternate reality when they got on the doomed plane in S01.

Anybody got access to this episode/know what i'm talking about? Think it was in the S1 finale where they showed everyone getting on the plane, no? Or maybe even the first ever epsiode. I'm sure they used the same exact shot. I'm probably wrong though.

Seems fairly relevant now.

Yeah, I was thinking the same actually.

Really loved the first two episodes although they were interspersed with "Lost is even better in HD!" on Sky 1 SD. Many, many times. Grrr.

Be happy you didn't have to watch the US ABC rip, during the second episode this blue shit that took up literally half the screen kept popping up to advertise some rubbish that nobody gives a shit about. Absolutely atrocious, completely ruined my immersion in the show. I'm fairly used to it because I watch a lot of US dramas and they've been doing that shit for a while, but this was the worst one yet. Even worse than the stupid animated ones they used to use.

Sat down to watch s6e1 expecting some questions to start being answered... Ha! Can't believe they're still introducing new characters and posing more questions with only 20 or so (?) episodes left. The word ambitious doesn't even come close to describing this.

Some interesting thoughts here. I guess when Sawyer and Hurley got up together to leave the plane it was implied that Sawyer had picked Hurley's pocket. Did we see him put anything in there in an earlier series? Or has his passport been pinched so he gets sent back (he wasn't in the taxi queue)? (Jack goes back to get the coffin, Locke for his bag, Charlie/Jin/Sun/Sayid (dodgy passport?) all deported, Kate to escape arrest, Sawyer to help Kate/Live as Hurley's identity in Aus... Plane crashes on LAX-Aus journey? Making the airport the point where the timelines cross or reverse (Locke's 'nothing is irreversible' comment). That explains the main characters but there's still alot of others left, some of which died on the island (possible explanation) and some who haven't - Rose and her hubby, Boone, Claire etc.

So if 'time' is an 'X' shape with timelines running in opposite directions then the LAX is the point where they meet. Or time is an 'S' shape and and LAX marks the point where it flips back (bouncing between the 70s and 00s?)

My head hurts.

Why would Locke go back to Australia for a bag the airline lost? Seems a bit extreme. And while I can imagine foreigners being deported for having no passport, would an American citizen be deported out of America to Australia for not having one? Genuine question, I really don't know how that would work. I'd imagine they couldn't stay in Australia either and would be deported home, to America.

Yeah, i know it's full of holes. I just think the 'reversible' thing is key. Would Locke's bag contain the compass ('constant'?) Is the coffin a 'constant'?

It seems to me there hasn't been anywere near enough information about the alternative timeline to begin giving even a passing thought to how the hell it all works and what it all means. I mean, the compass in Locke's bag? How would that make any sort of sense?

No, America cannot deport an American citizen, regardless of whether he had a passport or not. He'd just have to prove his citizenship in another way, which would be easy as he has plenty of family in LA.

an interesting idea i have come across is that the island can go underwater, would explain how the black rock got so far in on the island.

also the whole healing in the water with sayid, is that where richard took little shot ben?

We we know the island can move geographically from the end of S4 so no reason to think it can't go underwater.

Yes, Richard took Ben to the temple but I am sure he said at the time it would change him. Not sure what that means for Sayid.

It's pretty safe to assume the ship Jacob and Smokey saw in the finale last year was the Black Rock. I can't imagine the Island was submerged while it was within visual range.

The reason for the Ship being in the middle of the jungle was never a question I particularly cared about, but now that it's been more or less confirmed that Richard was onboard...I guess we're going to get an answer at some stage? They can't not tell his story.

What about Richard Alperts' never changing looks from 1970 odd to present day, Surely theres an explanation in that. Maybe he could be like Jacob and MiB. I don't think we've seen MiB and Richard together, Could be the same person.

Apart from when Evil Locke beat him up and carried him off in this episode

It seems about 99% right that Alpert was on the Black Rock. Perhaps he made a deal with Jacob to stop him aging provided he helped Jacob's grander plan. Now Jacob is dead - I wonder if Alpert will start to age?

I wonder if a number of the temple people were also on the Black Rock? The rest made up with the taken kids, Cindy etc, and perhaps some Dharma folks who transferred their loyalties.

So, has Lost become Sliding Doors?

Loved the 2 episodes, and really hoping they go somewhere interesting with the split timeline. I can't believe it will be something as base as 'their lives would have been worse not better if they hadn't crashed!'

Some cracking things in the 2 episodes. Loved Lockes discussion about Locke. So when smokey takes the form of someone he actually know all his thoughts etc which is very interesting.

I can't believe Sayid is either smokey or jacob, as others have said they don't take over their bodies they take on their form, and his body was purposefully in the same room as everyone else.

Wasn't Christian's body missing from his coffin in season 1? So, if Smokey has been posing as Christian before switching to Locke, something inconsistent is going on.

The body was missing but that doesn't mean Smokey had possessed it. He might have just hidden it, so that the game wouldn't be given away when there were two Christians around (one dead, one living). Or it might have just come out of the coffin and rolled down a hill into a ditch or something.

Maybe the polar bear ate it
