Another Lost that poses more questions than it answers...

First of all... I would like to take a moment to commend those that have blogs dedicated to Lost. What a full time job it must be to figure everything out, write about it and connect all of the dots.

I, however, am not that smart. And, I'm not trying to be. Lost completely confuses me every week, but I still can't get enough. And to make matters worse, this week I fell asleep and had to watch what I missed 2 days later. It's hard enough understanding the show in one sitting.

On Thursday we learned a little bit more why Michael, a.k.a Kevin Johnson, is on the ship. We also learned what he did and where he was in between getting off of the island and going on to the ship. During that time, he wanted to kill himself, but we learned the island won't let him. 

Then, he gets called to be a deckhand on the ship where he must sabotage the plan of the owner, Mr. Whidmore, to find the island. The question becomes who really set up the crash site of Oceanic 815. Was it Mr. Whidmore? Was it Ben? It would make the most sense if it were Ben because he didn't want anyone looking for the survivors and now he wants to kill everyone on the ship b/c they want to find the island. 

Also, in the previews for the next new episode - which doesn't air for another month - the announcer says we know who the Oceanic 6 are and baby Aaron is one of them. That would go against the theory that Aaron couldn't be one of 6 survivors because he wasn't on the manifest.

I wish we didn't have to wait a month to learn more things to be confused about!
