Good episode. Good enough to be a Season Premiere? HELL FREAKIN' NO. After the awesome season finale, I was expecting a lot more.

There was a lot of little stuff that bugged me. Like the fact that a huge chunk of the show revolved around the slow revelation of information to the characters on the Island. Information we (the audience) already know. It took, what, half an hour for half the characters to find out about Charlie? And then another 15 minutes for the rest of the Lostaways to find out. When the episode wasn't focusing on information we already know, it was focusing on obscure little hints and conversations where we (the audience) are left COMPLETELY out in the dark. Yet again, more mysteries, no answers.

Hopefully next week we'll start getting some real answers.

Don't forget Jack's beard. I am highly anticipating further developments on it.

Here's the Oceanic commercial that ran during Eli Stone.

Good eppy, but not great for a season premiere.

You guys expect answers in a season premiere? Man, you're silly.

They only ever give answers to anything in the last few episodes of a season. This is all about the questions.

It did give some answers, though. We now know that Hurley's flashbacks were in fact flashforwards. We also get the new information that, er, he can see dead people. And he is more than likely the one who can do something to get them back to the island, I imagine. And that probably has something to do with seeing Jacob.

Oh, and were there two people inside Jacob's shack, or is it just me?

It was Christian Shepard

(and the eye is supposedly Jacob but I thought it was Locke even before they showed Locke)

One of the major criticisms of Lost, one of the main reasons why their ratings have been dropping steadily is the fact that nothing gets answered on this show. The creators/writers of the show even admitted that this was a problem and that they were gonna start working on fixing that. Obviously, that fix hasn't come in yet, and hopefully as the season moves along it'll get better.

The title of this episode was "Beginning of the End". With that kinda title, you'd think we'd start getting down to the nitty gritty of it all.

We already knew there would be flashforwards after the Jack thing at the end of last season. Unless you mean all of his flashbacks, and in which case, not so. First of all, he won the lottery in his flashbacks and got the numbers from that guy in the mental institution, and yet he mentions winning the lottery whilst on the island. Secondly, pretty sure we saw Libby in one of the mental institution flashbacks. And she's sorta, y'know, dead.

We also get the new information that, er, he can see dead people.

Everyone can freakin' see dead people in Lost. Jack seeing his dad, Locke seeing Boone, etc. etc. Nothing new at all!

I hope Naomi is actually dead. I don't know what it is about her, but something just rubs me up the wrong way.
