There is just way too much going on for any of this to make any kind of sense.

Yeah.

1 - I watched it twice to prepare to write about it, and I'm not even going into huge detail.

Alot of questions answered tonight, and in true Lost fashion, alot more questions spring up. Very good episode though IMO. Thought it was much better than the season premiere.

My post is up at Season Pass and ready for your comments ...

Totally off topic, but watching Eli Stone for the first time, and it looks like the set for the law firm is the same one used on Angel.

There were 50 posts for the season premier and only 6 for the second episode. I think that says a lot about not knowing what is going on…which is great.

After seeing the underwater "wreckage" there was no way I could post anything coherent. That scene was one of those mind blowers that keep me coming back week after week after 10 month layoff.

What I'm starting to think:

Ben was prepared for this showdown with the visitors - probably via time travel - but Losties have thrown a wrench into the continuum by being there, both for The Others and the new visitors.

I'm guessing that our heroes weren't supposed to be there in this continuum - only Desmond and The Others - and that the interactions between Desmond and Jack, Charlie and others (lowercase) through Desmond's time-travel are the wrinkles in time that are slowly causing WHATEVER is supposed to really be happening to change. Desmond was pushing the button to prevent this time wrinkle to happen.

Maybe.

A friend and fellow fan of Lost directed me over to ABC.com to check out "Missing Pieces". They have been around for several weeks so I'm probably late to the party but several of the 12 or so 2 minute clips were worth the time spent.

I am guessing, but cannot be sure, that these are simply deleted scenes that for whatever reason didn't make it into the show. My favorite was the first on the list. I got chills watching it. A few are somewhat humors and then a few others are just a waste of time.

They will fill my Lost fix for a few more days though.
