Jack v. Locke

That is right, the new season of LOST has finally begun! I had almost forgotten how intense it is and sadly, how evasive it is. Everytime I watch it I hope for more and more answers but unfortunately I end up with more and more questions. So, here are some of my theories and some of the questions that I hope will be answered within the next 7 episodes this season.

Questions:

1. Who was in the coffin in the season finale last year? (I think that it could be Ben or Locke, I haven't completely decided yet but I'm probably way off).

2. Why the heck did Charlie feel like he had to lock himself in the hatch to "save" Desmond? (He easily could have swam out of the hatch with Desmond.....maybe we should be examining the motivations behind Desmond's "premonitions").

3. Will Kate choose Jack or Sawyer? (Puh-lease tell me that no one is even considering the Kate and Jack combo.....Jack's little declaration of love last season was quite laclustre).

4. How did the original Others come to arrive on the island? (The ones that were hostile to those belonging to the Dahrma Initiative, the ones who were so eager to make Ben their leader after he grew up and assinated all of his friends and family, and the ones who are now possibly turning to Locke for leadership).

5. Is Jacob for real? (.......yeah, I just don't get this whole story line. Where are they going with this?).

Theories:

I don't really have to many theories at this point. I was so sure at the end of last season that Ben was the one in the coffin but now that I found out that there were only 6 who were rescued, I'm just not so confident anymore. Why would only 6 be rescued? And we know for sure that they include Jack, Kate, and Hurley because of the flash forwards (which was such a brilliant move on the part of the writers if you ask me). Also, I'm not sure who to trust at this point.....Jack.....Locke.......Ben.......Jack has a God complex so I almost want to not like him anymore but then Rose sided with him at the end of the premiere. I really like Rose and Bernard, I think they are solid and know what's up. Locke has been pretty level headed since the beginning but he's kind of falling off his rocker after the Others have accepted him in their group and may even be looking to him as a leader. Ben is so cracked out but he may be psycho enough to be telling the truth. Who would I choose? Boy, I'm glad I'm not in that predicament.

It also appears that the "6" who were saved left behind everyone else but swore to keep it a secret and never go back. Maybe everyone else does die but I just think that would be a travesty. You know they'll go back though, Jack usually ends up doing the right thing after he realizes the extent of the situation and goes into an alcoholic frenzy. They have to go back.

I guess I choose Jack.

Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

.....Sigh.

I really wanted to like this book. I really did. Maybe I was expecting too much. It wasn't a horrible book.....I mean this author was basically living out my lifelong dream of traveling the whole world over and meeting many fabulous and interesting people. Every other person that has read this book has really loved it, I mean really loved it.

I just don't have much else to say.

I hope that the Lord of the Flies has a better effect on me but it's not looking too promising since I took a break in the middle of Lord of the Flies to read Eat, Pray, Love.

Please save me from my reader's block!
