The Oceanic ad was really interesting too. Also, can anyone explain why Locke is no longer shot? <em>Scott's last blog post..<a href='http://careerwaymark.com/2008/02/01/casual-dress-friday-a-life-risen-from-the-ashes/' rel="nofollow">Casual Dress Friday: A life risen from the ashes</a></em> Eli was pretty good.

As far as the drops, we don't really know if they are still happening or not I guess? @ Ape - Not to mention Mikail was killed with the electric security grid right? @ Scott – Didn’t watch Eli, was it good?

The season opener was great minus a small issue in regards to Naomi. Seriously - that was just too far-fetched to believe, although when the camera panned back and she was not there, I turned to those in the room and said, "Well, they are on an island were Locke was able to walk. Maybe it healed her, stranger things have happened." Regardless, I do think that while the island does have some very interesting supernatural properties, for some reason the Naomi story seemed forced and even a stretch beyond what they have done before. I will say this though, it does seem to raise the question of resurrection of people on the island. For instance: 1. Jack's father was supposedly in the coffin, but when Jack found the coffin it was empty (and now he might be Jacob - unless Jacob "took" the body in order to manifest itself). 2. How many deaths did Mikail go through before blowing up the grenade? (After all, Desmond did shot him with a harpoon gun in the chest and that appeared to be fairly fatal...) 3. Naomi... So there appears to be a precedent set for it, and at least a case can probably be made. I also think that the “rescuers” are part of the DI.

They put the first 6 on the helicopter, and then told them "we're not going back, here's what you're going to do or we'll kill you and them." or something like that. So that's why they have to reluctantly keep the secret. I wonder about the rescuers being Dharma b/c aren't the food drops still happening? So obviously they know where to drop them and where the island is. Maybe the rescuers are from Penny's dad? Or you know, we have NO idea how the hostiles/others got there either. Maybe it's related to them? Who knows but I love it!! <em>nicky's last blog post..<a href='http://www.swish-style.com/2008/01/31/jcrew-extra-sale/' rel="nofollow">J.Crew extra sale.</a></em> I think maybe the “rescuers” told them everyone would be rescued.

It had the Oceanic Air commercial which was interspersed with 'other' stuff. Curious to hear what you all thought of it. <em>Scott's last blog post..<a href='http://careerwaymark.com/2008/02/01/casual-dress-friday-a-life-risen-from-the-ashes/' rel="nofollow">Casual Dress Friday: A life risen from the ashes</a></em> Did anyone watch Eli Stone after?
