LOST season 5 premiere!!!!

Most exciting event of the year so far for me (although watching the innaguration was exciting) happened last night at 8:00PM central time when season 5 of LOST premiered. After watching it I think the show may have gone a little far with the sci-fi thing (the island flashing through time is a tad bit extreme), but I suppose it fits the story (which got more complicated).

Basically what we found out last night was that when the island dissappeared in the season 4 finale it began a cycle of jumping forward and backward in time and it's doing this because Jack, Kate, Aaron, Hurley, Sayid, and Sun left. In turn the only way to stop the time-jumping is to bring the Oceanic Six (plus Ben, Locke's body, and possibly Desmond) back to the island to stay forever. So while the people on the island are experiencing major troubles as they jump through time the Oceanic Six are having some difficulties of their own. Jack has joined up with Ben and they are working to get everyone who left back to the island (because of something Locke said before he died), Kate is on the run with Aaron because a couple of lawyers came to her house and demanded blood samples from the two of them to determine their actual relationship (which is nothing because Claire is Aaron's biological mother), Hurley and Sayid are running from the law because Sayid's safehouse was ambushed and Hurley got a picture taken of him covered in catsup (which looked like blood) holding a gun, over a dead guy, and Sun has possibly joined forces with Charles Widmore (who is evil) in order to kill Ben (who is possibly eviler).

Storyline of those off the island:

• Ben and Jack are trying to round up the Oceanic Six and take them bakc to the island.


• After receiving a disturbing housecall from tow lawyers with a warrant for blood samples Kate packs provisions (clothes, money, gun), takes Aaron and starts driving around CA aimlessly trying to figure out what to do.


• Sun is held 'against her will' for a short while at an airport by Charles Widmore while trying to leave for Los Angeles (they discuss killing Ben).


• Sayid and Hurley are attacked, Hurley becomes a triple murder suspect and Sayid is hit with two tranquilizer darts which put him in a close to comatose state of being.


• Ben takes Locke's body to a meatlocker where he asks a mysterious woman (who seems to know everything about him and the island) to keep it fresh and safe.


• Kate meets Sun in Sun's penthouse suite at a hotel in LA. They discuss what happened with the lawyers, Sun suggests that Kate 'take care of them' (inferring that since they did not reveal her secret they are looking to take Aaron away) and the two of them then discuss Jin's death (which wasn't really anyones fault, but in a round-about way could have been seen as Jack or Kate's fault).


• Hurley takes Sayid to his parent's house to hide. The police stake-out the house so when Sayid's condition deteriorates Hurley's father takes him to Jack while Hurley stays home and tell his mother the truth about what really happened during the 108 days.


• Jack takes Sayid to the hospital and phones Ben to let him know that he has Sayid.


• Ben shows up at Hurley's house and asks him to come back to the island causing Hurley to turn himself into the police admitting to killing threee people that he didn't kill.
  

Storyline of those on the Island who are not named John Locke:

• The remainign survivors are distressed to find their camp gone after the island 'disappears.'


• Dan Faraday tells them that they are jumping through space-time and they all head to the remains of the hatch/Swan Station. After two more flashes they find the Swan Station intact. No one answers the door so Sawyer and the others head back to the beach. Dan stays behind and tells Desmond (who eventually answers that hatch door) that he has to go to Oxford when he gets off the island (which Desmond does).


• Charlotte gets a bloody nose and starts losing her memory.


• After another flash the survivors on the beach are attacked, split up, and head for the creek.


• Sawyer and Julie are captured.


• Locke shows up in the nick of time to save Sawyer and Juliet from an unpleasant fate.

Locke's tale:

• After the first flash Locke finds himself to be alone (he was previously with Richard Alpert and the 'Others.'


• Locke is almost hit by Eko's old buddies airplane as it crashes so he heads to the crash site where Ethan shoots him in the leg and is about to kill him when the island flashes again.


• Richard helps fix Locke's leg up and tells him what he has to do when the island flashes again (he gives him a compass that will help future/past Richard believe what future Locke will say to him, and tells Locke that he has to bring the Oceanic Six bakc to the island which he will accomplish by dying.


• Dun, dun, dunnnnnnn.......
