“Lost” did not disappoint…
SPOILER ALERT: Read no farther if you haven’t seen the first episode.
The season premier of "Lost" did not disappoint last night as there are now new questions and more intrigue. We now know a little bit more about what was within the hatch. If you watched carefully, you noted that the inside of the hatch said "QUARANTINED". The castaways didn’t remark much about this, but I think the side of the hatch that the message appeared on is critical. In my opinion, the message tells he/they who are within, that the outside is quarantined. I have no idea if this is accurate or even meaningful, but it is a subtlety that I, at least, wondered about.
We also had wondered what was being injected into the arm of the hatch inhabitant. We slowed it down to frame-by-frame and could only make out "RX-1, For Injection Only". And of course, we’re led to believe the inhabitant is the same guy who was running the stands with Jack. The mystery behind his strange and hugely coincidental (or is it?) presence within the hatch was this episode’s cliffhanger. Equally curious is his influence on the healing of the woman from the accident. You will recall that this is the woman that Jack eventually marries — we found this out last year, but we got more of the history last night.
So all in all, a satisfying first episode and the ride continues…
