Official LOST Season 2 Thread (SPOILERS!!)

[skinsfanthru&thru]

The opening was definitely a bit of a twist and I'm definitely curious to see where they go with Walt getting shang-haied(sp?), but the main thing I can't wait to find out about is the smoke looking stuff and how the freakin hell polar bears are on the island. at first I thought maybe everything thats happened has been the result of Walt's imagination or something to that extent but I dunno. all I know is this show definitely has me wanting more after every episode I see.

one question: was that dude holding the gun to locke's head and had earlier been riding the stationary bike the same guy who helped Jack with his twisted ankle? cuz he looks familar but I can't remember when I saw him in the show.
