And That's Just The Beginning., 5 October 2006
10/10
Author: Justin Ayd from United States

Many people got hooked on the 30sec. and/or 1min spots ABC was running for "Lost" prior to the premiere. The night before Season Three began, I saw an ad that said, "The first five minutes will leave you breathless, and that's just the beginning." The first five minutes lived up to the expectations I had, and passed them with flying colors. This was a great lead into the rest of the season and it can only get better. There is so much mystery and intrigue about who The Other's really are and many fans get angry if we don't find out all the information right away. But it's a slow burn, unraveling mysteries, the reason for why things are taking place, and bringing up more questions. Jack's flashbacks were wonderful. Each episode we'll peer into the mind of the those on this Island, to discover more truth and more past, which all add up to who they are now. The survivors have already changed, but with more time, things will be different. "A Tale of Two Cities" was neither underwhelming nor overwhelming, but done with a great amount of care and love and completely thought out. This season will be far better than the second. Slowly we'll find out what the entire meaning of "Lost" is. And I do mean Slowly.

The answer to why Kate was wearing that dress. Ben, "Because the next two weeks are going to be unpleasant". Now, doesn't that alone just grab your attention?
