I'm just starting the fifth season so I'm ignoring everyone else's posts. I'm intrigued by the season so far, setting an ending point seems to have helped them get their shit together.

A couple things, I just finished episode 3 which was a good one IMO. One thing I still think, from something I saw in the fourth season, I can't remember, maybe it was the last episode, that Jin is alive. Two, finding out that Charles Widmore was on the island is interesting, was there a power struggle between Widmore and Ben? Three, does the pushing the button have something to do with the hydrogen bomb? I don't know if that makes sense. I actually didn't come up with that, saw it somewhere else.

Its such a silly show but it is addictive and they seem to have tightened it up a little.
