Yup, I saw it too. What excites me is that the NYTimes article says something about the writers making a point to reveal what is inside the hatch, so as to let viewers know what it means for the losties. Personally I'd be really frustrated if, after waiting an entire summer, they neglected to give any insight as to the innards of that beast.
yay.
Apparently we'll get a look round the hatch in the first episode, but nothing will become clear until Episode 3. (I've heard various sources say ep3 is a HUGE reveal)pdpfilms said:

It's still quite an insight though into what they're thinking - I've also read in one article, that the plane crashed for a very specific reason - which will be revealed at the end of series 2.
Have a read of this:

I think that could apply to Lost quite well.

***MAJOR SPOILER ALERT.***
Do not click the following link unless you are SURE you want to know what happens in the season 2 premiere. This explanation has been duplicated on many websites, and is likely accurate as the premiere was shown within the past week in Hawaii.
Fare the well, Losties.

I have been thoroughly enjoying the DVD set. I watched the show faithfully throughout the season, but I avoided the piecemeal reruns. Now I am re-watching all of season 1 in a mad rush up to this Wednesday. I have six episodes left to re-watch. I can't wait till Wednesday night, but I can and will avoid spoilers.
In rewatching the show, I feel much less confused about some of the island's mysteries, and I picked up some little details that I missed the first time around. I am interested to know what happened to the other survivors that Boone makes contact with on the radio. And Sayid makes the interesting point that, considering the manner in which the plane broke apart long before crashing, no one should have survived. Yet apparently other fragments of the plane also made improbably "safe" landings. The woman who was sitting across the aisle from Jack has a gut feeling that her husband is still alive.
I can't help but think that the island is something of a deliberately crafted puzzle and somewhere in its subterranean chambers, if they can unlock it (using those five numbers), there will be a sea cave and a boat gassed up and ready to go -- but that's probably seasons away.
Also, it has been interesting to see the way in which Locke, very early on, understood that there could come a time when people would have to pick sides, and he has been very careful to cultivate relationships with everyone who has useful skills, although he doesn't get along with everybody.
Rousseau said her people were on the island two months when they got sick and she shot them all. Is she immune to the illness? Was the illness madness (consider some of the weird things Boone and Locke have seen that weren't real)? It has been about two months now since the plane crashed, so I wonder if that illness is going to be one of the major traumas of season 2.
Mostly, I'm dying to know who are "the others," the ones Rousseau speaks of. I assume they are the people who stole Walt (that's probably obvious), but that doesn't mean we'll learn much about them -- we never saw what happened to Claire when she was abducted. But if we do get to see what happens to Walt, and I hope we do, I suspect he can defend himself with some of his freaky powers.
Two more days ...

There will be a show named "Destination Lost" on tonite the hour before the Lost season premiere. It apparently summaries some of the Lost plot so far, for those who didn't watch last season, or don't remember it, so they can catch up before the first episode of this season.

Quick reminder to everyone: Don't post spoilage about new episodes until the episode has finished airing on the West Coast... tonight, that's 1 AM EDT, 10 PM PDT.
Folks on the West Coast: You might just want to avoid this thread entirely until that time.
Folks in other places: Best just stay out of this thread for a LONG time... 😉

fantastic episode.
did anyone notice in "Destination: Lost" that Walt's comic book was blurred out on the back cover??? why would that be? what was on there?

I remember seeing a polar bear on the comic book the first time the episode aired (right around the same time a polar bear was sighted on the island), but not sure if thats what they blurred out.
I missed "Destination: Lost", but caught the premiere.

I think there might have been copyright issues that cropped up later which weren't considered originally.
I absolutely hate logo blurring. MTV started it one of the many banes they have visited on mankind. Reality TV is another. It distracts from the enjoyment.
I think Destination Lost had some extra footage that wasn't in the original runs. There was stuff that I don't remember seeing.

No one is asking this important question about last night's premiere: Was that old desktop computer (the one that Jack was "advised" not to touch) an Apple II?
P.S. I love how "Make Your Own Kind of Music" started blasting there at the end to tie things back to the opening of the show. You've gotta love Mama Cass. 😉

It sure looked like one, didn't it? 🙂Lyle said:
EDIT: Wouldn't that put the origination of the hatch (or at least what's in the hatch now) at 1978-1979? Which is roughly 16 years prior to the events of the show, and would also put Rousseau's shipwreck around the same time?
