Mathoms, etc.

Lost is back! The 4th season premiere is tonight and I hate that they moved it to Thursday when I work late. I'll have to skeedadle early if I can manage it because stupid VCR won't record. I watched the season ender last night and forgot how brilliant it was. I was having a hissy fit because they waited so long to bring it back. I hope it'll be a good season.

Oh they were showing bits of trivia during the rerun. I found out that:

• Kate/Jack-shippers are called 'Jaters'; Sawyer/Kate-loving fans are 'Skaters'.
• The woman Jack saved from the bridge had the same illness that his ex-wife Sarah had. Jack wanted to operate on her, too.
• The man who recognized Jack in the pharmacy line wasn't referring to the bridge incident, but to his heroics after the Oceanic Flight 815 crash.
  
• Desmond started having visions after the explosion.
  
• The name of the funeral parlor where Jack went was an anagram for "flash forward".
• The writers are huge Star Wars fans; Charlie's mission was like the one from Return of the Jedi. While held captive in the Looking Glass station, he was singing a song based on one of Dominic Monaghan's poems. And of course the "Good Vibrations" code could only be broken by a musician---enter Charlie.
  
• Ben recognized Locke as a threat after he also heard Jacob speak in the oh-so-creepy cabin. Hence, the shooting.
  
• The episode is meant to mirror the show's very first episode. Even the title says so: "Through the Looking Glass".
  
• By the time our gang got to the tower, they had been in the island 91 days.
  
• There is a recurrent theme of science versus faith. Locke is a man of faith; Jack is a man of science. Both have had suicidal thoughts. Hmm...what does THAT mean?
