Lost Season 4

It seems to keep repeating the same stuff over and over.
 
LOST is great but it is a flawed show, I think one of the big problems it has faced is in its attempt to do the impossible and have as many lead actors as it has tried to, rather than settle for the traditional 3-7 with the rest of the cast in supporting roles (like BSG for example). I think that whole experiment pancaked badly during season 1, but unfortunately the fanbase bought into it (and almost religiously rally against any change). The reality is is that there are really only 4 lead characters, Jack, Kate, Sawyer & Locke (maybe Sayid/desmond as a 5th & 6th), and the rest are just support, but unfortunately because of the format they established early on they feel obliged to carry on with it. The kind of fan Hooplah that happened during Season 3 about new characters Paulo & Nikki (& in season 2 with the tailies) wrre introduced just doesn't happen in other shows let's be honest here. I think if they could start the show again, the approach would be somewhat different for sure.

Anyhows looking forward to Season 4, and I think Jeremy Davies is a good actor so looking forward to seeing what brings to the show.
 
I'll wait until all six seasons are out before grabbing the complete collection, locking myself up for a week with a few friends, a plasma TV, a DVD player and a container full of beer and some nutritious snacks and watch it all in a more or less one go.

In b4 "gay party".

Why not do that with the six seasons of 24 right now. NONSTOP.

Can't wait for Lost though.

I love you Ben!
 
Ben looks like the pinnacle of sinister in that pic. He may as well run for G-Man.
 
I'm eagerly waiting for Season 4 premiere, even though I'm pretty sure I'll have to download it illegally wait until it airs here.

That promo picture though... looks really "old" somehow. Season 3 promo was more creative.
 
Didn't Samon posted in this thread a couple of hours ago?

D:
 
Christ, Juliet's face doesn't half look like it was carved from stone in that picture.

Awesome poster, though. Not long now!

"The Beginning of the End" *Spoilers*

NEW YORK - Are the island castaways of "Lost" mere hours from rescue? Or will their latest chance at freedom turn to dust, like all the others?

That's a no-brainer. The title of the ABC series isn't "Found." And as the long-awaited new season of "Lost" begins Thursday (9 p.m. EST on CTV), the first episode strongly suggests the castaways are about to lose again.

They're awaiting help from a rescue party from a freighter anchored offshore. But as they wait, the chilling likelihood takes hold that their potential saviors could instead spell their doom.

There are no shockers in the episode, the first of eight in the series' truncated fourth season. But this is a gripping hour involving all the principal characters that sets the stage for the season ahead. And after eight long months' absence, it's a welcome sight. (Relax: No spoilers ahead.)

From last season's finale, we already know that rock star Charlie (played by Dominic Monaghan) made a perilous quest to disable a jamming device that had prevented the group from summoning help from a just-acquired satellite telephone. He died carrying out his mission, but not before relaying a warning to his comrades to beware of the so-called freighter people.

The next step in the rescue plan was for the group to make a trek to the radio tower and shut off a tape-loop rescue plea that also was interfering with any other transmissions.

There Ben (Michael Emerson), the less-than-trustworthy overlord of the Others, implored Jack (Matthew Fox), the survivors' reluctant leader, not to place the call to the freighter people.

Jack sneered at Ben's words. The call was made and the new episode begins, much as last season's finale did, with Jack somewhere in the future - drinking. With this recently added flash-forward storytelling feature, Jack is seen in his Los Angeles kitchen mixing a morning cocktail when his eye falls on TV coverage of police in hot pursuit of a speeding motorist.

The car crashes and the driver is arrested. Jack realizes it's one of his fellow former castaways, who is haunted by the past and sees visions of the dead. Jack, who himself is plagued by substance abuse,unrequited love for Kate (Evangeline Lily), and other demons, pays this person a visit. There is mention of a dreaded secret they share.

In a scene back on the island (and back in time), the portly Hurley (Jorge Garcia) runs into Locke (Terry O'Quinn), who long ago had "gone native" and has no desire to ever leave the island.

"It's gonna be hard to talk (Jack) into thinking they're not coming here to rescue us," says Hurley, who, with Locke, shares Ben's alarm for what the freighter people might do.

"We're just gonna have to try our best," says Locke, "because if we can't talk him out of it, then Charlie died for nothing."

By the end of the hour, the castaways are split into two factions - those aligned with Ben and Locke who believe the freighter people represent a mortal threat and Jack's group, still holding out hope for rescue, even as they start to fear the worst.

Thursday's new episode will be preceded by "Lost: Past, Present & Future," a recap hour of the saga of the Oceanic flight 815 crash (8 p.m. EST). And Wednesday, last season's splendid two-hour finale will be repeated (9 p.m. EST on ABC) in "enhanced" form, with on-screen text containing commentary and clues.

In short, "Lost" fans should be rejoicing. And even with just eight episodes currently on tap thanks to the writers strike, ABC has promised another 40 will eventually follow, leading up to the series' finale in 2010.

Lost is a good show but I think it went down hill in season 2 and never fully recovered (though later episodes of season 3 are almost as good as season 1). There was one part of the show when I almost left it. It was when Mr. Eco died. Eco was a really good character to begin with and his first flashback episode was great. Then I think things went crappy for him with his second flashback episode and then he was killed damn stupidly.
 
I thought season 3 was good from start to finish if you ask me. A few awkward script and plot problems here and there but there was so much new stuff uncovered and seen. I think I might watch it all again over the next week or so, in between the new episodes, of course. :D
 
Season 3 was on par with Season 1; the writing was much stronger in some parts, especially the later episodes.

The actor's parents died and he asked to be killed off.
 
I love Lost and can't wait! But I also luv Naomi Dorrit (hawtest girl on the show IMO) And I was very sad when they killed her off. But I heard a rumor she's still alive (HA! I went and made a portal pun) Is there truth to this rumor?

- The Beginning of the End (2008) TV episode .... Naomi Dorrit
\o/
 
Probably gets credit for being face down on the ground with a knife in her back during the first scene. :D
 
Can't wait, this show is like a really great book.

The thing that almost killed the show for me was when they revealed the retarded smoke monster. :|

Also, I really hope Charlie is truly dead... most annoying character ever, next to Shannon... although she was a little better a few episodes before her death.

As for hottest woman on the show? Has to be Emilie De Ravin, she's adorably hot.
