I have only seen the episode once but the first thing that springs to mind when summing up LA X is Wow. Just Wow. I’m sure Darlton have a checklist for the perfect Season opener which they adhere to with each season. A bunch of new questions - check. A bunch of new mysterious characters - check. Confusion, Unpredictability, Crazyness - check, check, check. But I wouldn’t have it any other way - Oh how I’ve missed you, LOST.

Sooo, without further adieu - let’s get to it!

What an episode this was. I’ve read alot of reviews that express dissapointment with this episode but I have to disagree - I thought this episode was fantastic. With the reveal of how Richard happened upon an injured Locke during the time jumps, the return of Sayid, and Lockes declaration that he plans on killing Jacob. Not to mention that Dr Chang now believes the Losties are from the future… what a jam-packed episode this was!

So let’s begin…

The Richard / Locke encounter

In Because You Left, during the time jumps, we see an injured Locke get help from Richard. Richard doesn’t have much time to explain what is happening to Locke, but the conversation ends like so:

After waiting two weeks for this episode I really wasn’t dissapointed with the outcome. More answers came with this episode, but with true Lost fashion, for every question answered, 10 more questions arise. ;)

Let us begin!

Where on Earth is Daniel?

So, what has happened to Daniel? In Because You Left we saw Daniel working in the Orchid station with Pierre Chang present. Was this before 1977 or after?

Only a few hours earlier Kate was adamant that she wasn’t going back to the island and was determined to keep Aaron safe. So what has happened in those few hours to make Kate change her mind? And where is/what has happened to Aaron? Could Richard Malkin’s warning of Aaron being surrounded by grave danger be coming true?

Wow. Just Wow. Lost never ceases to amaze me and that quote right there was probably one of the most chilling and eye-opening scenes of the show so far. We knew that Daniel has communicated with Desmond and so knew it was a possibility he could interact with other people in the past, but to what extreme he would take that to we didn’t know - so when this scene played out queue draw-dropping mouths everywhere. :O

I think Daniel spoke too soon - just as we were beginning to think that it was happening to Charlotte because she was born on the island, Miles starts suffering with the nose bleeds. Ok, so that could still mean that it’s a side effect of being born on the island, afterall it has been speculated everywhere that Miles is the son of Pierre Chang. Just as were getting used to that idea, Juliet starts with the nose bleeds!

When I saw the previews for Season 5 and saw the “mystery hooded person” I always had an incline that’d it be Ms. Hawking, but I still felt an element of surprise when it was revealed to be her.

She is seen in a room writing calculations on a black board, and inputting data onto a computer, with a weird pendulum swinging to and fro in the middle of the room. The computer reads “EVENT WINDOW DETERMINED” and then she goes to speak with none other than our beloved Ben.

Just when you’ve spent the entire break from Season 4 to Season 5 theorizing that the island has gone back in time to the 1970’s and you think you’ve cracked what’s going on, Daniel Faraday says something that debunks all theories and has us starting all over again… but, it’s all becoming a little clearer now, isn’t it?

Walt hasn’t seen her before so he runs to Michael to warn him. It seems to stir the attention of everyone else but Sayid tells everyone that she is Rouseauu, the french woman he met a few weeks earlier.
