Okay, I know I’m a late starter. Yesterday we finally finished watching the first series of Lost. (I get annoyed by the Americanisms creeping into the English language. It’s series not season!). As expected there was the unresolved ending to pave the way for the next season, sorry series.
So now we have the opened hatch, or Pandoras box as we are led to believe. This is in some way due to the ‘unlucky’ lottery numbers found inscribed on it just before the hatch was blown skywards. Locke has become increasing evangelical about the Island’s purpose. He believes that the Island brought them for some unspecified higher purpose. Spooky.
As to the raft, well it was attacked by some swarthy sea-faring types and Walt was kidnapped. Not before it was set alight, Sawyer was shot and it’s occupants left to find their own fate in the unforgiving ocean. So I am thinking that the ‘pirates’ were ‘The Others’? It seems a logical conclusion since they wanted the boy and on the island they wanted the baby . But for what reason?
Speaking to colleagues at work who have seen the next series, it seems as though these questions go largely unanswered. Boo!
