LOST season premiere

I start off by apologizing to Uncle Herbert in Germany, and anyone who didn't watch LOST for whom this will all sound like gibberish.

OK so we learned that the others have a small base of operations on the base that seems to accomodate them comfortably on the island but that they are kind of stuck with each other (based on the argument about the book at the book club meeting). They feel protective and seem to feel they own the island. They experienced an earthquake just before the plane broke apart over them which goes along with the story that Desmond caused the plane crash by not pushing the button in the hatch. They didn't seem to forsee or know that the plane was going to crash, but Ben-Henry Gayle was quick to jump on the opportunity to explore what would be left after the crash. His immediate reaction to seeing the plane come apart overhead is to control its survivors. That seems rather fearful and conspiratory on his part. How could you see victims of a plane crash as a threat? Unless they are being tested and experimented on as well!?!
You can't really trust anything they said in the presence of the survivors, but what seemed to be clearly established is that there is some kind of tension between Juliet and Ben, although they still seem to be cooperating in testing Jack, Sawyer and Kate. It appears Kate fought Ben instead of eating breakfast. I don't know whether Sawyer's escape attempt was an attempt to set up trust between him and Carl, the other guy in the cage, for some future purpose. If it was legit then where did Carl come from. He'd have to have come from within the others own ranks. If he was a deserter from them it seems unlikely that they would put him in a position to build an alliance with the survivors. So I think Carl is a plant. But what are Ben and Juliet trying to get out of Jack? What does he have to offer them? And since they had that whole dossier on Jack they must have some kind of regular communication with civilization and some pretty deep investigative powers?
After just watching the opening sequence again I noticed that Juliet was kind of coming apart in her house before the book club meeting, unhappy with her existence. She had displeased Ben by her choice of book for the book club. Also when the camera panned out from their camp it showed that the tail section had crashed only about a mile away.
I also downloaded the Killers new album Sam's Town which seems good but maybe is lacking the edgyness of their first album.
Over dinner tonight we read a verse from the Gospel of Matthew which described the Holy Spirit descending on Jesus and God the Father saying that Jesus was his son whom he was pleased with. Rachel has always referred to Jesus as God and been slightly confused whenever I try to talk about Jesus and God the Father. Tonight after she read this scripture passage she said, "So this is where there are 2 Gods dad?" Its funny how we as adults forget and begin to talk and think about God as if he and how he exists could really fit in our tiny brains. Rachel still seems to understand that acutely.
