OK, so, on to season 2 with Man Of Science Man Of Faith...
This must a pretty far-back flashback with the old computer and record deck - on, a boom, this is inside the hatch! (confrmed a few moments later). Who is this guy, then? Quarantine, eh?
Jack's flashbacks- hm, isn't that his fiancee? I guess this is how they met... But screw that, what the sodding FUCK is that on his head? He didn't have a loopy wig like that in his flashbacks last season! Her previous fiancee's a twat as well.
Has Walt been possessed by the aliens from Waters Of Mars, then?
Hurley is right- Jack's bedside manner sucks.
What's the problem with the lack of ladder in the hatch? They're in a bloody jungle- haven't they seen a Tarzan movie? There must be creepers and lianas and stuff around! As for Locke, not wanting to do more waiting- when he does his speech about going down the hatch not necessarily being right, why doesn't he just say outright "I'm going anyway because I'm having bloody fun here! My own jungle adventure like I've always wanted!"
I'd say that.
The Scottish guy jogging at the stadium is familiar - what have I seen him in before? Ah... so he's Desmond. I know there's a regular by that character nowadays, so I assume he's the guy in the hatch in the teaser.
Yep, so he is!
Overall this is a great start to the season - it feels like (apart from Jack's flashback wig) there hasn't even been a break between seasons. I don't just mean cos it's only been a few weeks, but the storyline follows on perfectly. It just feels like the next episode in an unbroken run.
It's great to be back on the island! (and I know where I can get season 3 for a tenner, so no bloody waiting, I'll do that now to be on the safe side...)
