This is why that time was lost. So in the other reality flight 815 crashed in the ocean. In the scenes from the future Kate and Jack don't want to get back to the island but rather get back to the other reality. Okay I didn't explain that very well, but I like the idea.

Maybe you're a morass! Did you ever think of that? What is a morass anyway? If I were to posit a definition, it might be the list of presidential candidates running in this election.

So that means that seeing somebody in the future does NOT guarantee that they're going to survive! They really have found a way to break the show wide open and do pretty much whatever the heck they want.

But yeah, I meant more that they're answering the new questions soon after they introduce them. I don't expect to learn a lot more about the 4-toed statue anytime soon, for instance. And it does feel like they're at least getting towards answers — with the time difference on the rocket, and that stuff about being on a specific heading, we're starting to learn why the raft couldn't leave the island, and possibly why some people don't seem to age.

And the way they are advancing the story is making me care less about getting answers to those "big" questions than I did last season. I am SO liking the flash forwards, I just can't tell you. All last season, even the new episodes felt like reruns because they just kept rehashing what we'd already learned about the characters with the flash backs, but now I really look forward to each new episode because I know I'm going to see something new.

What questions have they answered? It's still a morass, but the show is more interesting this season. I’m with ya, except the answering of questions. What questions have they answered?
