Have we seen Charlotte yet before this episode? I’ve read about her online - her last name is Lewis and her initials are CS Lewis?
I don’t believe we’ve seen Charlotte yet...but I’ve read Charlotte’s full name is - Charlotte Staples Lewis. CS Lewis anyone? Best known for his Narnia books.

Shes dead; she gets a flashback.

Headed for a cabin.

Not this week.
Do we learn how the newcomers can find the island when nobody else seems to be able to?
I think we get a pretty good clue.
Does George (the walkie voice played by Short Circuit icon Fisher Stevens) show up in person this week?
He does not. But he is heard from again, and asks if hes on speaker.
Do we learn more about Abbadon this week?
We do.
Do we see Jacob this week?
No.
Since Tunisia is in Africa, isnt African/Tunisian man a little redundant?
I dont know.
Was last weeks episode the weakest Lost season premiere to date?
Yes. Which is not to say it was terrible.
Is tonights episode better than last weeks?
Unquestionably.
Does Desmond make any predictions?
No.

No. But Walt is referenced.
What about Pretend Charlie?
No.
Smokezilla?
No. But Locke does ask Ben what Smokezilla is!
No Christian Shepard?
No.
Horace and Olivia Goodspeed?
No.
Matthew Fox said time travel would be an element of the series. Could Adam and Eve be Jack and Kate?
I dont know.
Whats great?
Cant really say its our primary objective. Now take me to her body! It doesnt scatter quite right. He cant come to the phone right now. She was not on the plane! Jeremy Davies! Ken Leung! Rebecca Mader! Michael Emerson! Terry OQuinn! Evangeline Lilly (how come theyre not sticking her in more movies?)! The tool. The collar. The photo of Ben and Ben himself. Most of all, the flashbacks, swimming in fresh mystery!
Whats not so great?
Id like to know why Frank was so sure the ring wouldnt fall off.
How does it end, spoiler-boy?
With Ben.
