Character Questions Will Be Answered This Season

The New York Post has a long article on questions that will be answered about the LOST characters this season.

One of the questions that’s been bothering me since season one has been, how will they explain Walt’s rapid growth? It’s only been 60 or so days on the show, and it’s been three years of “real world” time. Kids that age grow up quick. They plan on giving us an explanation for that this season.

Other questions they mention in the article are:

How did Locke get in that wheelchair in the first place?

What are The Others doing? What are up against?

Who is Sun’s baby’s father?

All will be revealed…. well, maybe not all right away, but we’ll get some answers this season. They also promise we’ll get to know just about everything about The Others this season too.

The second episode will center around Locke, and the third will center around Sun and Jin.

Five more episodes to go until the mid-season cliffhanger!

Little girl in Jack’s holding tank?

Reader Sthnbelle points out that on ABC.com, here’s a mysterious picture of a little girl in the holding tank with Jack. You can see it in ABC.com’s Photo galleries. I’ve posted a copy of the picture here. You can see it for yourself by clicking the link above, going to Season 3, and go to picture #33.

I sure don’t remember seeing that last night, and the only thing I can come up with so far is that it’s a picture from one of the upcoming episodes. Any other thoughts?

Why The Hatch Button Was Bad

Season 2 spoilers ahead… Stop reading if you don’t want to know!

I’ve been re-watching season 2 of Lost before the season premiere of Lost season 3 on October 4 th, 2006. The entire season revolved around the Hatch and the Button that needed to be pressed every 108 minutes.

What happens when the button is not pressed

Well, we sure found out what happened when the button was NOT pressed…. The first time Desmond missed pressing it, it brought down Oceanic flight 815 and brought the survivors to the island. When they narrowly missed pressing the button, a sequence of hieroglyphics came up, which caused all kinds of speculation about what the missing hieroglyphic character might be, and what the whole word or phrase might mean. When they let it go all the way down to complete set hieroglyphics (which read as “Underworld
