Now that we've all experienced the thrill of The Return of "Lost" (parts one and two), I have questions. Many questions. I see that the exemplary website Tvtattle recently posted a "48 'Lost' Questions" - all great ones, by the way - but let's see if we can top that based on just those two hours last night.
And, so here goes (in no logical order whatsoever). Fifty-four questions:
- Why did Locke really kill Naomi - the ravishing Marsha Thomason?
- Is he nuts?
- Is Naomi really dead? (Or course not! Repeat: OF COURSE NOT!)
- Does Miles see ghosts? (Or just talk to them?)
- Where do you buy one of those funky ghost vacuum cleaners anyway?
- (Walmart?)
- What is "The Wire's" Col. Cedric Daniels - Lance Reddick - doing in "Lost" anyway?
- Any chance Bunk Moreland might show up too?
- (And how about Jimmy McNulty?)
- Why did Daniel Faraday squint at the light and talk about the refraction?
- The name "Faraday?"
(Michael Faraday: The great English chemist/physicist who effectively determined the principles of electromagnetism which - ultimately - helped shaped the special theory of relativity, etc.)
- Any significance?
- What do YOU think?
- Why is Karl such a dork?
- Why does Flashforward Jack want to grow a beard?
- Why did he shave it?
- Why does he have such a lousy basketball shot?
- Where is Flashforward Kate?
- Why couldn't SHE visit Hurls in One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest Rest Home?
- Where is the REAL captain of Oceanic 815?
- Who was that rotting dude in the driver's seat of Oceanic 815?
-Where was Desmond during the second hour?
- Didn't Locke have the kidney on the OTHER side removed? (Just wondering...)
- Why was there a polar bear in Tunisia?
- Why is there a polar bear on the ISLAND?
- If Oceanic 815 went down near Sumatra, does that mean the island is somewhere nearby?
- There are over 150 million people in Indonesia - what are the chances none of them would know about an island this strange?
- Hey! I thought 815 was heading from Sydney to LA, so what was it doing in the Indian Ocean?
- Or was that REALLY O 815 down there on the ocean bottom? (Answer: Of COURSE NOT!)
- Are all the tailies dead? (I guess so...)
- Does the Island polar bear wear a collar too?
- About the other Others - why do they need a social anthropologist to find Ben?
- Why do they need to find Ben?
- Who's Ben's plant on the boat?
- Is there a boat?
- Why is Miles such a jerk?
- (But Ken Leung was great - crazy great in "The Sopranos" - wasn't he?)
- What happened to Walt?
- Is Locke gonna introduce everyone to Jacob? 
- What does Jacob think about that?
- Does Charlotte - Rebecca Mader - seem kinda strange to you too?
- When does Michael show up?
- How did the helicopter make it to the Island without crashing?
- Why didn't Bearded Guy pilot 815?
- What was he doing in the Bahamas?
- How did Miles know there were O 815 survivors but Charlotte did not?
- Why does Flashforward Charlie want Flashforward Hurls to go back to the Island?
- What's Flashforward Jack so afraid of?
- Who - or what - remained behind?
- Will there be flashback sequences during the flashforward ones?
- Will there be flashforward sequences during the flashforward ones?
- Is there such thing as "real time" in "Lost" anymore?
- Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
