Lost Returns

All the shows are back now, son!

Some present-day-but-really-3-years-from-where-we-left-off stuff happens to the survivors. Sayid kicks MAJOR ass when people are sent to capture him and Hurley. I mean, he kills one dude using a dishwasher. Loaded with knives. Awesome.

Jack shaves his beard and loads Locke's body into a van with Ben, who tells him to pack his S, cuz they're getting the band back together and going back to the Island.

Desmond and Penny are married. Awwwwwwww.

Three Years Ago: The people on the Island find themselves on an empty Island. Everything was put back in time - the camp is gone, and the exploded station is whole again. Either the Island is moving or the people are moving. Time travel - not confusing at all!

Locke, however, isn't with the group. He's alone somewhere on the Island, and witnesses the plane crash of Eko's brother. He gets shot in the leg by Ethan. As Ethan's about to kill him, the Island time travels again. To the future, because Eko's brother is a skeleton once more. Richard finds Locke, treats his bullet wound, tells him he is time travelling and that he has to bring the Oceanic Six back to the Island. By dying. And then Locke goes back to the past again. Oy.

The main group of Islanders are on the beach at night when they are attacked by flaming arrows. Flaming. Arrows. Sawyer and Juliet are captured and I think their attackers are people from the past, but it was hard to tell. Locke ends up saving them and killing the guys.

We got 2 hours of weird time jumping and loads of set-up, but I think it was a good way to pick the show back up. Interesting and just-confusing-enough.
