Official Lost Season 4 Thread

[Roto13]

Well Lost is coming back tomorrow. I don't have cable so I'll have to download it after it airs, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Now I just need to remind myself how Season 3 ended. xP

[Sergeant Hartman]

It starts on Sunday for me!

Season 3 ended with Jack on the phone to some guy on a boat, Charlie died and Locke threw a knife at that woman.

They're doing a series recap before the season premier tomorrow night as well, so you might be able to download that and watch it before you watch the season premier.

Be sure to watch all the Mobisodes! Some really cool stuff.

damn fine episode. i want to see the oceanic commercial again

[Mythra]

So what exactly did the Oceanic commercial show? We taped Lost and I didn't know about the commercial until Eli Stone was already over.

[Namelessfengir]

it was an offer for "golden tickets" fly anywhere anytime about mid way through it was getting hacked with warnings and hints of 815

Good episode. Good enough to be a Season Premiere? HELL FREAKIN' NO. After the awesome season finale, I was expecting a lot more.

There was a lot of little stuff that bugged me. Like the fact that a huge chunk of the show revolved around the slow revelation of information to the characters on the Island. Information we (the audience) already know. It took, what, half an hour for half the characters to find out about Charlie? And then another 15 minutes for the rest of the Lostaways to find out. When the episode wasn't focusing on information we already know, it was focusing on obscure little hints and conversations where we (the audience) are left COMPLETELY out in the dark. Yet again, more mysteries, no answers.

Hopefully next week we'll start getting some real answers.

Don't forget Jack's beard. I am highly anticipating further developments on it.

Here's the Oceanic commercial that ran during Eli Stone.

Good eppy, but not great for a season premiere.

You guys expect answers in a season premiere? Man, you're silly. They only ever give answers to anything in the last few episodes of a season. This is all about the questions.

It did give some answers, though. We now know that Hurley's flashbacks were in fact flashforwards. We also get the new information that, er, he can see dead people. And he is more than likely the one who can do something to get them back to the island, I imagine. And that probably has something to do with seeing Jacob.

Oh, and were there two people inside Jacob's shack, or is it just me?

It was Christian Shepard (and the eye is supposedly Jacob but I thought it was Locke even before they showed Locke)

One of the major criticisms of Lost, one of the main reasons why their ratings have been dropping steadily is the fact that nothing gets answered on this show. The creators/writers of the show even admitted that this was a problem and that they were gonna start working on fixing that. Obviously, that fix hasn't come in yet, and hopefully as the season moves along it'll get better.

The title of this episode was "Beginning of the End". With that kinda title, you'd think we'd start getting down to the nitty gritty of it all.
