Down the Hatch - 
by EdHIll
The first thought that went through my mind as I sat down to watch tonight's episode of Lost was "How can they top the premiere?" Well actually the first thought was "Will I get to see Evangeline Lilly in her underwear again this season?", but that's because me and her have unresolved issues (is it that hard to answer my letters, Evangeline?). Because I honestly felt last week's season premiere was one of the most exciting and suspenseful hours of TV since The Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey Christmas Special . OK, I kid, but seriously, it was one bad-ass episode. I thought the hatch payoff would be some murky unresolved nothing, like machinery that led nowhere. Man was I wrong. Instead we get an irate Scottish dude in an underground bunker with a Commodore 64 and a penchant for Mama Cass, which strangely enough was #3 on my list of "what's in the hatch?" predictions, right behind "albino midget covered in hot sauce playing Intellivision." Not only that, we got to see probably one of the most iconic images of our generation: Jack's flashback hair. Oh man that was good stuff.
The show left off last week with yet another cliffhanger as Jack and Locke were deep inside the hatch with our angry Scot holding them at gunpoint and Jack realizing that he has met this man before, many years ago, when his mullet ruled the earth and the Crash Test Dummies' future was looking bright.
Before we start, a brief warning. This show has many fanatical fans, of which I count myself among them. The center of the show is the big mystery of what’s on the island, and countless theories and websites have been developed analyzing the many small clues that have been dropped along the way. How small, you say? Take for instance last week's episode when Shannon ran into an apparition of Walt in the woods and he seemed to mumble something unintelligible. Well, if you take the audio and play it backwards, he does say something. I won't spoil it for you but if you need to know you can listen to it here. Yep, us Lost fans can get that obsessive. Let me put it this way. Have you ever met one of those nerds that know the lineage of every Elf that ever appeared in The Lord of the Rings? We're like those guys, only much, much cooler.
