A ton of unanswered questions, a few easter eggs, \u2026 well, it wouldn\u2019t be LOST with out that, would it?<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I enjoyed the show.   I saw right off that it was Hurley in that car (his hands gave it away).    The fact that Charlie is dead, but not really, brings up two really interesting things about what we\u2019re seeing:  1)  Christian and Yemi were likely the same sort of manifestations from something on the island, and 2) we saw Charlie when he was OFF the island.<\/p>\n<p>Does that mean that the island is doing that?  That was my first thought, but while I was mulling this over, <b>I think it\u2019s more likely that Charlie is bounding around in time the same way that Desmond did last season<\/b>.   I think both Christian is doing the same thing, and that\u2019s what Jack saw in Season One.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cdid you notice\u201d things:<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cflash forward\u201d scenes in this episode occurred before the \u201cflash forward\u201d scenes from last year\u2019s finale because Jack said he was thinking of growing a beard.  <\/p>\n<p>That was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.magiclamp.org\/index.php\/2008\/01\/01\/hidden-lost-season-4-easter-egg\/\">Christian sitting in the chair<\/a> when Hurley looked in the cabin.<\/p>\n<p>That \u201cfancy phone\u201d comment from yesterday that seemed so out of place in yesterday\u2019s disastrous \u201cpopup video\u201d-style show was a phrase that Rose used during tonight\u2019s premiere.   <\/p>\n<p>Hurley referenced the same thing that Jack said in last year\u2019s finale:  They\u2019re not telling the truth about what happened to them.    <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it for now\u2026 In the words of Locke, \u201cWe\u2019re going to have to watch that again\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spoilers ahead First, another question left over from last season: How did Penny know to broadcast on that frequency to talk to Charlie?
