LOST & Found

So here are the questions rolling around my head after last nights season premiere of LOST.

1. Hurley said he was one of the "Oceanic Six." Does that mean only six people made it off the island? If so, we now know half of them. Jack, Kate and Hurley. Is Sawyer another one? Kate did refer to someone else saying "He'll wonder where I've been" in the season 3 finale. Plus, I'm guessing one of them died and that's the funeral that Jack went to in the season 3 finale. But clearly it's someone that no one missed as only Jack showed up...Ben?

2. What is the secret known only to the Oceanic six? Jack checked up on Hugo to make sure he didn't say anything. What's so important that they can't tell? Hmm...

3. Who was the man who claimed to be an Oceanic lawyer? He asked "Are they still alive?" Does this mean the Oceanic six are not the only survivors? Could ONLY six people leave or did the rest of the survivors willingly stay on the island? Or does it mean all but six people DIED on the island?

Here's a prediction. After learning that Hurley and Jack both think they shouldn't have left, I'm going to guess that the series will end with them all returning to the island.

I'm really glad that the show is back on. I've missed it dearly. But I'm also watching with a sense of dread, because I know there's only seven episodes left. I truly hope the writers get what they want so they can get back to making my favorite shows.
