Lost Premiere
(Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2009)
Yeah, yeah — we want some answers, too. But heck, we're just glad to get the gang back together again. And fine, we don't know what happened to the island, or why Locke (Terry O'Quinn) is better known as Jeremy Bentham and/or why he's dead, but "Other" boss Ben (Michael Emerson) is angling to get man-of-no-words Jack (Matthew Fox) and the other survivors to take Locke/Jeremy's dead body back to the island where the other Lost-aways await. We smell a survivors' reunion. 'Tis the season to introduce flashpresents — as opposed to flashbacks or flashfowards — as Sawyer (Josh Holloway) chummies up with Daniel Faraday (Jeremy Davies) to fill Hurley's (Jorge Garcia) void, and Hurley dispenses choice advice to Sayid (Naveen Andrews) on how to handle the evil/not-evil Ben. Perhaps tonight's two-hour finale (9PM ET/PT) will grant us just one a-ha moment … YESTERDAY'S DO-IT: The best vampire show before vampires were even cool!
