The aftermath from Juliet's detonation of the hydrogen bomb is revealed. A solid first episode of season 6, the alternate thing is intresting I liked seeing scenes from the pilot revisited and it was cool to see a lot of old characters again. scenes between Jack and Locke, Boone and Locke were the highlights of this storline. There was a horrible bit of CGI when we saw the sland underwater but this was still cool. I think the evil Locke scenes were the best it is revealed that he is The Monster which was really shocking. I thought the reveal of the Temple was cool but Im unsure of the two new characters Lennon and Dogen. The scene were Sayind drowns in the well had some horrible acting as well from Kate, Hurley and Jack.
I thought the 6th season would start by solving the enigmas of all the previous seasons. The first two episodes added more weird stuff that is making the show look like some sort of bad sci-fi movie. For some reason, I thought we would have some sort of rationale explanation. For example, the smoke monster would be some sort of chemical invented by the darma folks to create allucinations on people. Also, the alternative plots are not fair - it is just like having a movie with two endings and the audience decides... This is not fair to us - we were expecting the writers and producers to make it sound plausible within the reality they created. Now, it is pretty much a mess, a disappointment to fans. Ok, I could buy the time travel plot, provided that substantiated with some scientific facts - quantum science or something like that. The way it is now, I bet we are going to have an ending for the series such as: it was all a dream by one of the characters, or it is all some sort of effect of a medicine Hurley took at the hospital for crazy people, or it is all part of scientific experiment by the dharma project folks - it is a controlled experiment where psychologists through crazy simulations at those folks to see their reactions. Those who die are out of the experiment... I was expecting something else - something in real time and real for the characters. Oh well... I guess I will have to live with my disappointment...
