Lost season three - right around the corner

[mousepod]

Heather mentioned the score early on in the episode. I just turned to her and said, "Hey, it's the guy who did The Incredibles. Let him shine."

A couple of points that haven't been brought up yet:
- The idea that several people in this episode are now aware of some kind of specific "fate". Locke says to Jack that he is "supposed to" make the call. In the flash-forward, Jack tells Kate that they weren't "supposed to" leave the Island.
- Why was Jack's flash-forward any more believable than the short ones we've seen Desmond experience? Was it Jack's vision? Someone else's?
- Why was Jack's fake beard black, when his stubble is clearly gray? Does a disheveled drunk take the time out to apply Grecian Formula?

In all, I think I enjoyed Season 3 more than Season 2, and I get the feeling that if they writers had lost the thread, they're doing a good job to put the story back together. I guess we'll see next February.
