I was disappointed in the season premiere. It didn't seem like a premiere so much as it seemed like a regular episode out of the season. After a whole summer without Lost, you'd think they would have started off the season with a big bang. There were a few surprises here and there, but... I dunno.

I do not believe that it is possible for the Others to know whether someone outside the Island is happy or not. Date of birth, death of father, these things *maybe* they found out through whatever government connections the Dharma Initiative had, but whether someone's ex-wife is happy? C'mon now. My suspension of disbelief doesn't stretch that far.

I love Sawyer. I liked how he gave his cracker to Kate. Kate still bothers me. Juliet bothers me. Carl is probably a plant, put there to work with Sawyer, just like Juliet was there to work with Jack. I don't trust *any* of the Others. Jack is getting hecka annoying.

Did anyone else catch Juliet holding a Stephen King book? Special significance? Methinks, yes!

I honestly hope that this season will be better than the last.
