Our "Lost" junkie Luci Chavez reports on last night's final season premiere:

The wait was worth it. We know what the smoke monster REALLY is. But I can't bear, after the first hour of the Season 6 premiere, that I'm still so confused. I'm desperate to understand.

Lost is such a "have faith or else" experience. Very Catholic, that. But I have faith. Faith is strong in this one. (Great. Now I sound like Yoda.)

SPOILER ALERT. Read on ...

There are a gazillion unanswered questions going into the final season of "Lost" on ABC. I said three seasons ago I'd be happy if Lindelcuse explained 80 percent of it by the end of the series.

Still, let's focus on Season 6. (STOP NOW if you haven't watched the show in awhile and plan to catch up.)

To countdown to the last season premiere ever (waah!) of "Lost" ... six story lines I think should be addressed by the series finale.

No. 2 Did Jack's plan work?

Jack (Matthew Fox) has the H-bomb and he's going to use it. (It's the only way to stop the big scary power surge, don't you know!)  Kate (Evangeline Lilly) is trying to stop him. And she's fighting dirty.

Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) have to choose sides. The trailer is hinting that the sides they choose = the mates they choose. Doh. How will the Lost boys squeeze out another 17 episodes if those things happen?

We're counting down the days until the Jan. 21 premiere of Lost (ABC, 8 p.m.) Let's waste the time in between taking a look back at how season four ended for characters on and off the island.

TODAY: Juliet Burke (Elizabeth Mitchell)

When we last saw Juliet ... she was drinking with Sawyer on the beach. (How does she rate? Seriously. ...)
