OK, i have watched week 1.

I found that the most important thing that haven't realized before was the backgammon description that Locke gave Walt.

He said something like this "Is the oldest game on earth, more than 5k years, and it has two sides, light and dark."

The Mesopotamian game referenced by Locke is the game of UR:

Totally talking about Jacob and his Nemesis.

Now, about the game:
"Each player has seven pawns, and three pyramidal dice each with two red and two white vertices. This is a race game. The goal is to introduce the seven pawns, to move them along your designated path, and to be the first to have all the pawns out of the gam"

Jacob Pawns:
Richard?
Eliana
Brian?
Sayid ?? (he triyed to kill ben)
Jack??

Nemesis Pawns:
John Locke
Ben
Christian Sheppard
Claire
Alex
Eko's Brother
One more missing.......

i just watched it. it is so weird to see the characters interact the way they do. like sawyer and sayid fighting.

also it was cool now that we know more about danielle's story, it killed them, killed them all takes on a whole new mystery. she killed robert, but he was probably turned.

also, not as major but the polar bear also has been answered, it was from the hydra station.

The main "overall story" bit in this ep is definitely the black/white thing.

Cool line from Shannon in:“You’re wasting your time. They’re coming.”

And Locke holds up the white piece on the right side of the screen and the black piece on the left, just like the opening scene to the finale of S5 where Jacob was sitting on the right and MrX was on the left..

the back gammon is deff an important part of the whole show...

Things I noticed:

-Charlie doesn't seem to be wearing his DS ring. I could be wrong but I didn't see it.

-John Locke and the backgammon speech. Our first introduction to the light vs. dark theme.

-One of my favorite scenes, and one that cemented my love of the show- Sawyer shooting the Polar Bear and the subsequent disarming of the gun by Kate. Favorite line? "I just shot a bear!"

- Since there wasn't a lot of note in this episode, some serious stretching: When they pick up Rousseau's outgoing message, Sayid says it has been playing for 16 years and 5 months.

16 yrs 5 mos = 197 monts
1+9+7 = 17
1+7=8

Ta Da!

On to Tabula Rasa!
