Ille qui nos omnes servabit

“He who shall protect/save us all.”

The fifth season of “LOST” is in the history books… or the future books… or something. What a great season! We got some answers to old questions and, of course, we got a whole big bunch of brand spankin’ new questions to contend with. After the final scene in last night’s season finale I just sat there dumbfounded. I on one hand didn’t like the ending at all but on the other found myself loving every single white pixel on the screen. Such is the case with every episode of “LOST”. It is love/hate, enlightened/confused, Dharma/Others back and forth that few shows match.

Now we find ourselves with one final season. Is the future rewritten or has what’s been done, been done? The only hint about where we are going that we got last night was a teaser for the sixth season with the tagline Destiny Found. Last week Doc Jensen, Entertainment Weekly’s LOST Guru, asked the all important question for every LOST fan.

Which mysteries do you feel must be resolved during the sixth and final season?

That is the 4 8 15 16 23 42 million dollar question isn’t it?

For me, here is what I absolutely want resolved once and for all:

1) What (and now I wonder Who) exactly is Smokezilla?
2) Was that Jacob visiting our Castaways last night or was that Mr. Nameless from the beach?
3) What ever happened to Claire?
4) Who is Richard and Where/When did he come from?
5) What ever happened to the Oceanic 815 castaways kidnapped by the Others?
6) Why the fertility experiments?
7) For a show about Good and Evil, Black and White we haven’t been given a clear picture of who is who. I need to know who is on which side.

Right now, these are the 7 burning questions I need to find the answers to. Did I miss anything?

I want to hear from you. What questions do you need answered? What mysteries do you need resolved?

In the words of Jacob, “What about you?
