LOST 6x03

Alright, let's talk a little bit about truth in advertising, shall we?

ABC's promos for LOST this season have been using the tagline "the time for questions is over," Well, to quote just about every character from the program, "don't tell me what I can't do!" Not only do I still have about a zillion questions left over from previous seasons, why are Dharma supply drops still occurring years after the entire Initiative has been "purged" from the island? Why doesn't Richard age? What's the deal with Walt? And what does the mysterious Alvar Hanso have to do with all of this?, but each episode so far this season has introduced even more questions for the viewers to ponder over.

You know what? I'm fine with that. It's the questions that keep the viewer engaged. The show's writers have repeatedly assured us that ALL of the questions will be answered by the time the series finale ends, and I believe them, but don't lie and tell us that the time for questions is over. Because that just isn't true. Yet.

This weeks episode slowed things down quite a bit after last weeks two hours of non-stop HOLY CRAP DID YOU SEE THAT? awesomeness. But I suspect that things will begin picking up extremely quickly. It was great seeing It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator Rob McEllheney reprise his role as Aldo, and the show ended with a great hook that has me breathless in anticipation for next week.
