The premiere of the sixth and final season of ABC’s “Lost”, was last Tuesday, Feb. 2, and if you’re anything like me, you were hanging on the edge of your futon in anticipation.

It couldn’t come soon enough.

As if the fate of the island rattling your brain since last May’s Season Five finale was not bad enough, the thought of President Obama’s State of the Union address airing at the same time as the Season Six premiere shook audiences and fans all over America.

Because if “Lost” fans know anything, it’s this:

Finding out the meaning of ”the numbers”, is far more trying than the state of the economy.

Knowing whether or not Juliet detonated the bomb is direr than the war.

And the past, present and future of the island is more important than...well, you get the picture.

Luckily, the crisis was averted and President Obama gave his address on Jan. 26 while “Lost” premiered on Ground Hog’s Day as originally scheduled.

If you aren’t familiar with the worldwide phenomenon, here’s a brief recap:

“Lost” is the story of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 who crash land on an island on a flight from Sydney to L.A. But this is no ordinary island. It has a vast history, secrets and amazing healing power.

The survivors learn that the island is unique when they come face-to-face with polar bears, smoke monsters and even a slightly mad Frenchwoman wielding a pistol. Also, each character is somehow connected, though they thought they were strangers.

Did I mention most of this is just in Season One?

If you haven’t seen it, I won’t go on because I don’t want to ruin it for you. Besides, there is so much to explain you’d probably get “lost” anyway (pun intended, of course).

If you are a fellow “Lostie”, after watching the Season Six premiere, you’re probably just as stumped as a non-viewer would be. But does that really surprise you?

Fellow Philly student, Julia Marshall said, “The premiere was just as confusing as every episode, but I can’t help but keep watching it.”

The Villanova University senior watched the one hour recap special followed by the two hour premiere with her roommates and bowls full of snacks on their cozy pink couch.

"Lost" fans went in wondering, “Is that really John Locke?” and “Will Juliet really erase everything?” and they came out thinking, “What’s going to happen to Sayid?” and “Are there really dual realities at work here?”

Naturally, we came out knowing perhaps less than we did going in. Is that not the joy of being a fan though?

Do smoke monsters and coinciding fates intrigue you? It’s not too late!

You can always do what my roommate and I did this past June between taking summer classes and watch Seasons One through Five on DVD non-stop to catch up in time for Season Six.
