Are they dead?

Did they really crash?

Do you remember what happened in season three?

Oh, ballsination.

That snuck up on me. Have they made it all, then? I thought they were waiting... hrm.

I was planning to do a big 1-3 marathatonaonaonaoanthanothon in advance of season 4 starting. GARGH.

Let's open on a close-up of Penny's eyes.

Should be fun.

Lost > Heroes in my eyes.

Though both are a bit pants.

FFS Are they still stuck on that bloody island?

...I'll just leave...

They've only made eight episodes (this season is supposed to be sixteen episodes). The other eight will be made when the writers strike is over.

No.

... well... sort of not. Instead of present and flashbacks, we're now also getting flash-forwards. So, as far as at least some of it goes, no.

Should we keep **** in spoilers 'till the next episode hits?

Not sure how I feel about this week's episode. I'm already hoping for somebody to off Miles. Come to think of it, unless he turns out to be a fraud (unlikely), I really don't like what Miles brings to the table as a whole.

Thrilled that they're getting away from John being a villain, though. John's one of my favorite fictional characters since, uh... It's been awhile.

I'm glad it looks like the plane that was discovered is not the same one that crashed on the island. ie. they're not dead or in a parallel dimension or something...

Still, when Linus said "You want answers" I was thinking yes we bloody do! We've been promised answers but already the new season has chucked in some new whopping mysteries.

But the flash-forwards and the flash, er, sideways are a new spin (instead of the tired flashbacks).

Yeah, new spin, but the whole "Here's three MORE people with mysterious connections to the island who know more than they let on to heap more s*** on top of the s***" has left me feeling deja vu and apathy towards the start thus far.

I love the way Locke's first question was "what is the monster? the black smoke monster, what is it?"

Genius.

Meanwhile Ben's thinking: Gah, it's about time somebody brought that up. I mean, there's a friggin' SMOKE MONSTER roaming the island and it really doesn't come up very often.

...I don't know.

Yaya · Post by **Yaya** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 2:20 am

Loving it so far.

Yeah, there are new mysteries, but as long as the writing is strong (Vaughan, anyone), I don't care, the show still rocks.

I wanna see Sawyer naked.

So, 31 minutes.

Shanti418 · Post by **Shanti418** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 6:31 pm

So, Sayid's life sucks.

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 7:14 pm

Sayid is Batman.

Shanti418 · Post by **Shanti418** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 7:26 pm

Then who is Ben? (provided you've seen last ep)

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 7:47 pm

Dude, don't ruin it!

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 1:10 am

31 minutes is extremely odd. WTF was Faraday up to anyway? Looked like he was setting up wifi for the island or something.

So Sayid and Desmond have left the island? Wonder if we'll see them on the freighter, or if now they've gone, the focus will remain on the other Losties...also Sayid is one of the "Oceanic Six" but what about Des? He was never on the Oceanic flight, and Jack talked about golden tickets and all that jazz, so I doubt he'd be one of the official six.

He's Alfred and Dan Didio rolled into one.

Episode 4 has aired.

Holy ****!

Where are they going with this?

Shanti418 · Post by **Shanti418** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 7:34 pm

I dunno, but apparently it's mind blowing. I've only watched the last season (although I know what happened beforehand Wikipedia style) and then this one, but according to the reaction of my girlfriend, the implication of what is seen in the last part of that past episode (The Kate centered episode) blows your ***ing mind and makes you run around and scream like a crazy person for a few seconds.

SPOILER

The entire ep deals with Kate, and her dealing with the law upon coming back. We're told she has a son, we see Kate and Sawyer sleep together on the island(with Kate subsequently "leaving" Locke's group after), and we see that at this point in the future, she's open to having a relationship with Jack except that Jack has got a problem dealing with her child. But then when we finally SEE the child, Kate calls the child "Aaron," meaning it's Claire's baby, not Sawyer's. This apparently is crazy because a lot of the first season was about the baby being important or something? But it opens a lot of questions: Where's Claire? Why does Jack have that reaction to the baby? Why did the baby come back?
Since we're on the spoiling, Kate leaving Locke's group was caused by the fact she broke Asian rescue guy out of imprisonment to have a minute alone with Ben. Basically, he asks Ben if he knows who he is, who he works for, what he's here for, etc. Ben does. He tells Ben that he'll tell his bosses that they couldn't find him for 3.2 million dollars. Ben says he can't get that kind of money, and the Asian guy says something to the effect of, "Don't play dumb with me, I know what you can do." But before negiotiations can get any further, the minute is up. Kate went through this so Asian guy would tell her if he knew of HER, and afterwards he says yes, he knows she's a jailbird, and she'd probably be better off staying on the island.

Claire's dead. Jack was probably involved in her death somehow (not like he killed her - but like he couldn't save her), so he can't face the baby.
