Lost Open Thread

Lost returns to tv tonight with the premiere of the fifth season. Awesome. What's going to happen this time around? The Oceanic Six now have to return to the island, so says Ben who is also off the island. Jack is a mess, Kate is raising Aaron, Sayid is working for Ben, Hurley was being taken out of a mental institution by Sayid, and Sun is seeking out Penny's father.

My answers in bold. We will revisit these questions after each broadcast. Questions that are verified will turn to green for correct responses and red for incorrect responses. There is a point system in the actual contest but here I will just be tallying right and wrong choices at one point a piece.

So don't forget, there are three hours of Lost on tonight. At 8pm EST there is a one hour special that recaps everything that has happened leading up to the season premiere. Then at 9pm EST the season gets rolling with two hours of all new Lost.

Again, feel free to leave your Lost thoughts, questions, theories, and question responses in the comments section if you feel so inclined.
