LOST - Season 4... It has begun!

[cburwell]

I think it's season 4! :)

It's coming back at the end of January (January 31, 2008 from what I have seen).

ABC released the first of five video diaries on the Lost web site. I watched the first one and thought it was pretty standard. The mention of the Maxwell Group got me interested, so I started searching. The first site called Station Zer0 (http://www.stationzer0.com/) has some cool information and web sites that I haven't heard of before.

Can't wait for the season to start!

[Uberu]

its going to be awesome but the season is only 4 episodes long becaus of the writers strike. Next season will be long as hell though

[S4toSTI]

I heard it was going to be 13 episodes. 4 sounds like an untrue rumor to me.

[TrboChicsRock]

4 episodes doesn't sound right to me either.

[goodfella732]

They have more then 4 episodes done already. But the strike will end up hurting the season midway thru

[sisforsurfing]

If it's only four episodes I'm going to be bummed.

Regardless, I haven't kept up with all the video diaries and other madness, but can't wait for it to start again.

[cburwell]

From what I have heard they will probably air the episodes they have filmed, go on break and then come back later (spring/summer). This also depends on the length of the writers strike.

[TROLL]

bump because right now on ABC is like a special LOST backtrack called "Through The Looking Glass" with little info bubbles constantly running across the bottom of the screen. Some things are obvious and some aren't, some are fact and some are rumor or speculation.
Its 2 hours long and looks pretty interesting, or maybe I'm just excited to see some familiar faces on the tele :)

[goodfella732]

Its just the season 3 finale but with that werid text bubble at the bottom. But Im with you and Im glad to see the show again. I cant wait for the start of season 4 tomorrow

[Snoozie]

What the crap! I though that they would be doing a recap tonight. Im mad I missed this last night.

are they replaying that?

[AUTORACENBBOY]

9 tonight right?
cant wait

[Kerplunk105]

Its 8pm tonight till 10pm.

[Bizee]

8-9 is a hour long recap right? thats what i make of the tv guide atleast. and it says this season is a total of 8 episodes due to strike

[Snoozie]

Oh cool. I thought they maybe did it last night instead of tonight.

[Vypurr]

I thought that tonight was a full 2 hr episode because last night was a 2 hr recap of the last 3 seasons?

[TROLL]

weee i love lost. i'm happy about the refresher they're doing, there's so much to remember and its been a while.

[S4toSTI]

What a great episode. So what makes jack go from the way he was with hurley to what we saw at the end of last season in the real world.

[Buster]

I think this season is going to kick last seasons ass. I like how the flashbacks are flashforwards? this time lol. Cant wait for next week.

[AUTORACENBBOY]

who was the black dude who visited hurly??
and what is the deal with only 6 people being saved... what happened to all the other people
"the oceanic 6"???

[Buster]

Actually it was Jspek, the Dharma people teleported his body from the future for the show.

[Snoozie]

Im so excited for this season. I think its going to blow the others out of the water. The flash forwards give endless possibilities to the things that might happen to everyone on the island. Im really interested in finding out what Jack is talking about when he asks Hurley if he "told anybody" and why there are only 6 people saved.

[AUTORACENBBOY]

there was a massacre, some people had to be left behind when 6 islanders hijacked the helicopter... then couldnt figure out how to get back to the island to save the others

[Kerplunk105]

When they were playing basketball hurley said "we have go back for him" or something...also what did he mean by "we/(I?) made a mistake. i should have stayed with you and not gone with locke"?? What happen!

[TROLL]

i think ben was in the casket...

i forget her name, nadia maybe, the woman who just parachuted onto the island, she said it was in the news that they found the plane at the bottom of the ocean with no survivors, thats definitely going to come into play again. they are either all dead and this is some type of surreal afterlife (which i think is unlikely), or there's something much larger at stake here involving the government or similar to create such a coverup. whats interesting is that now penny knows they're alive, even if no one else wants them to be found, and they did record that magnetic event when the hatch exploded.

i was thinking how this episode was pretty enjoyable because it wasnt too stressful or frustrating. things are actually seem to be heading in a direction and the question to answer ratio was pretty good too, haha.

[lagos]

Good episode.
I just started getting into lost, so it was nice that they did a recap show.... but holy crap that recap was insane. They have more twists then a soap opera. It would be almost impossible to explain the details of that show to someone.

Naomi?

Would Jack really be that upset about Henry dieing?

[Tigawoods]

its weird how they keep flashing to the future, i assuming only 6 make it back to actual civilization, and possibly some of the others either die, stay on the island...who knows.

damn this thread blew up quickly! im a little late

[Snoozie]

Did anyone watch the show afterwards Eli Stone? Towards the end of the show during commercials they showed a commercial for "Oceanic Airlines".


edit-here it is. Would be better if I had sound at work. :roll:

No sound FTL :(

i was like 10 min into eli stone, and was like "its not worth it to go through this torture, eli stone is gey"

[Snoozie]

I thought the show was kinda good. haha. I wasnt really paying attention though when the Oceanic commerical came on though, Ill have to watch that again when I get home.

[TROLL]

haha i called the number at the bottom of the press release on their site :) not much info there but still funny to me.

oh and naomi is the name i was looking for. she told everyone on the island that it was in all the newspapers that the plane had been found with no survivors, but this oceanic commercial and www.find815.com are indicating otherwise, that it wasnt found at all, just that it was determined that all on board are dead. hmmm...

[cburwell]

Someone I work with told me a theory that was interesting. The people on the island are all a part of some sort of research study. They are all in some place where they are unconscious and something is putting them on the island (Like that Matrix). I thought that was interesting.

[Tigawoods]

this is soo confusing

[TROLL]

i'm really liking the flash forward thing, i've never seen that done in this way and it has the same effect really as flash backs.
i was wrong though, i thought ben was the one in the casket and unless the flash forwards are different times, i guess its not him.
i like that things arent so scattered any more but i with they'd move forward faster with some of this stuff, or at least pack a little more action in along the way.

[Snoozie]

I dont think that Saied (sp?) is one of the "Oceanic Six".....he is obviously working for Ben and we saw that Ben has all those passports and suits. Maybe his "list" is of people who are trying to uncover where the island is or who is still on it and he is trying to protect that?

[Vypurr]

I did not like last night's episode. Nothing really happened? I know we need to expect those episodes, but writers...PLEASE FILL IN SOME OF THE QUESTIONS FROM THE PREVIOUS SEASONS!!! Why does that statue have 4 toes? Why did Ben cut off communication with the underwater station? Why were there polar bears everywhere Dharma goes? Whats up with the sharks? Why do ghosts appear on this island? Did ben really kill that little girl who was his best friend (the one who made him the dolls he still has)? How did Ben and Danielle come in contact? Did they have sex and make a kid, or did Ben just kidnap her? I am dying here...The last thing I need is more mystery!

[sisforsurfing]

I agree, I didn't really like that episode either. And i really wish some of the questions would be answered, but that's what keeps us coming back every week kind of.

I'm really curious what's going on with the time differences. Obviously they're in a very different time period, but some things make me think they're in the future, some in the past. The polar bear remains being found in the desert say past, but some other things hint at the future.

[Tigawoods]

i think it left some more unanswered questions. basically all that was told was told was that nobody on the ship knew about the heli. kate got knocked up and had a kid named eric (not sure how that ties in if someone could enlighten me) and some other bs. i really cant find any clarity in all this. id like to hear what everyone else thinks whats going on

I thought she said Aaron, not Eric. As in Claire's baby.

That wasn't Kate's baby at the end. It was Aaron, Claire's baby.

edit:^beat me to it.

[Tigawoods]

really? i guess i misinterpreted it. then that changes stuff up a little bit. maybe claire didnt make it off the island.

[TrboChicsRock]

Anyone notice how old Aaron was? I'm guessing it'll be a couple years before they get off the island.

[AUTORACENBBOY]

lock is gonna make everyone drink the island punch in the next episode, while the 6 survivors are escaping

[Snoozie]

Well Kate said that the last time she saw her Mom was when she got sick (right before she was caught), and her Mom said shes been sick for 4 years.

[igo4bmx]

Well Kate said that the last time she saw her Mom was when she got sick (right before she was caught), and her Mom said shes been sick for 4 years.

yeah the space-time continuum theory is at it again

1- in this season they've still only been on the island for less than a year
2- Walt is "bigger" (aka older) as Locke states (obviously he will be bigger since it's been 2-3 seasons since he was on)
3- Package delivery by the physicist came several minutes later
4- helicopter left days before but still did not reach the boat?
5- Aaron looks to be about 5 years old. He was on the island so far for about a year so far. did they get rescued within this year? if so, has it been 4-5 years till her trial?

Why did Kate "take" Aaron? My theory- as a survivor of flight 815, Kate took Aaron to get him off the island. Episodes ago, Jack did say he wanted to go back and rescue everyone. Claire must have given up Aaron to give him a better life off the island.

[sisforsurfing]

really? i guess i misinterpreted it. then that changes stuff up a little bit. maybe claire didnt make it off the island.
I really doubt Claire made it off the island. Remember that everyone not on the island thinks that only eight people survived the crash in the first place, six of whom made it home. I guess that makes Aaron one of the oceanic six?

Agreed. I don't know what the deal is with the package only taking a few extra minutes but the helicopter not arriving after a day, though.

[Tigawoods]

i missed it last week so i just watched it online. this episode was pretty interesting

[AUTORACENBBOY]

i think the other islanders are still alive and Ben is holding them captive making syede or however you spell it do Bens dirty work to save the others. I am very curious how Ben got off the island.
The whole Desmond thing i believe is to explain that whole time travel situation with the physicist

[Tigawoods]

i really cant keep up with whats going on. can anyone shed some light on the situation?

oh and i noticed for the first time when the LOST logo is shown with the island in the background, the reflection of the island on the water is a city....hmmm

[Vypurr]

http://www.timelooptheory.com/the_timeline.htm

Read this. It's just a theory, but it is so complete with so many things that I never picked up on. I believe that the author of this has a connection with one of the writers or JJ Abrams.

[TROLL]

ok, the end of this weeks episode was a shocker, not gonna lie i was a little upset.

and the captain... seems like a straight shooter? is the ship there to get ben the bad guy and thats really all they want to do? it would seem that way but i find it hard to believe that things are so simple.

and that dude... that pos dude from season 1 or 2... who's a janitor on the ship and clearly the spy. yeah... karma right there... doesn't looks like he's so free from the island after all. interested to see where things go with that...

[Vypurr]

That is Michael. My only question is how did ben keep in contact with him off of the island (presumably in a different time)

[Silver04STi]

That is Michael. My only question is how did ben keep in contact with him off of the island (presumably in a different time)

the boat was talking to the people in real time. I think that its just coming and going to the island is when there is a time displacement

[Vypurr]

Did you read my link that I posted? I was referring to that. IE, the boat exists in 2003, and the island is stuck in 1996.

[Silver04STi]

opps...missed the link

[Silver04STi]

so...danielle and Carl were killed, who do you think killed them?

[Silver04STi]

oh yea.... what's up with Mr. Friendly? Who would have guessed he swung that way?

[olmytsi]

Good episode lat night! I was wondering when the f Michael and Walt were going to come back. It's funny but after last night's episode, Ben doesn't seem like such a bad guy anymore.

I wanna bang that naomi chick...

[sisforsurfing]

http://www.timelooptheory.com/the_timeline.htm


hah, after last night that seems even more plausible.

I agree that ben doesn't seem so bad after last night. How is a show both annoyingly confusing and awesomely involving at the same time?

[PoorMan'sR]

ok this might have already been answered, not sure and i don't feel like goin through the whole thread, but in the last episode, micheal's mother said that he had dissapeard for 2 months after the plane crashed, now time is supposed to be different in the real world then it is on the island, so exactly how long does everyone think they've been on the island if the real world only thinks 2 months?

[Kerplunk105]

Island time they have been there for 3 years...I think. I am thinking for every year of island time its one month real time? I think Michael was on the island for 2 years?

[Vypurr]

No no. I dont think that they feel that they have been there that long at all. I think that they feel that they have been on the island for a few months.

I am basing this on the fact that even on the island time flows at the same rate. If they count days, it will always be that many days, and that is the same as counting the days off the island. The only difference is that every time the button was pressed (before it blew up...every 108 minutes), the time was reset to that specific date in 1996. So they could feel like they were there for an eternity, but it would still be 1996, but in the real world it is now actually 2004.

BUT now that the time machine is broken, the flow of time on and off the island is the same...just the island will always be 8 years behind...So its 2004 for real, but on the island it is 1996. In 2005 it will only be 1997 on the island.

This gets even more confusing when you consider the fact that the losties who crashed there never questioned the year at all, they instead assumed that it was still 2004...the year that they crashed.

[Kerplunk105]

Wow, I never figured all that out.. :lol:

[PoorMan'sR]

yea but then when that daniel guy tells the helicopter pilot to say on the exact bearing no matter what, and they take off, they're flying for all of twenty minutes, and to everyone on the island it was two or 3 days, thats what i dont get

[Vypurr]

They took the wrong bearing to get off? I forget what their bearing and the bearing that Ben told Michael to take was though.

[TROLL]

i just read that time theory site tonight... its long but definitely interesting.

as for the helicopter, i'd have to assume that when they flew into the bad weather it may have pushed them even slightly off course, which would have messed with the time travel between on the island off the island, and also had that adverse affect on Desmond where he was trapped between the two times.

[PoorMan'sR]

whatever it is, i know i just kinda blankly stare at the screen when the show ends thinkin, who the heck thought of all this stuff and why did they make it so confusing?

[TROLL]

bump for tonights episode which i just watched. nice to see ben not in control for once even if it was a little sad.

[06evors]

I really just want to kick Ben square in the nuts everytime I see him. Bon Jovi style.

[AUTORACENBBOY]

how did he activate that monster???

[eurotrashed]

i didnt know the episodes were back on, i guess with the strike the writers felt the need to actually make a good episode. I was tired of the episodes lately with no development except the last 5 minutes

[S4toSTI]

Yeah i forgot it was coming back but i am happy my dvr remembered.

[K-Rex]

One day one of these episodes is going to be so full of WTF moments I will have an aneurysm. Last night was close.

The look on Ben's face after Alex was offed, :eek:

[AUTORACENBBOY]

I'm beginning to think thus is a heaven and hell, devil and god thing...
one end being Jacob and the island, the other end being whitemore, I dunno maybe its just me

[eurotrashed]

they are going to tie it all together by Jack waking up on the beach and realizeing it was all a dream

[olmytsi]

lol eurotrash

just watched it, pretty good episode.

[olmytsi]

Just watched tonight's episode, some interesting new developments.

[06evors]

This season is getting crazier by the moment. Sawyer should have capped those fools when he had the chance.

[TROLL]

zomg, forgot that tonight was the season finale... i should be going to bed but F it i'm about to go watch it on DVR!!

[olmytsi]

Just watched the last 3 episodes...INTERESTING to say the least.

When is the new season coming?

[TrboChicsRock]

Just watched the last 3 episodes...INTERESTING to say the least.

When is the new season coming?

I don't think they've said yet. I haven't heard anything. I just got around to watching the finale last night as well. Crazy! I cried twice lol

I wonder if that's how the polar bear ended up in the desert! It's really cold down by that wheel, so I wonder if a polar bear found it's way down there, turned the wheel, and ended up in the desert like Ben did. That could be the "incident" that the others were always talking about as well. Or they could have used the polar bear to do it and they trained them in those cages.

[TROLL]

yeah my guess is they used animals for testing, and they were testing in the arctic? i dont know, polar bears probably arent the most manageable test subjects though...
welcome back to the forum though stranger!

[S4toSTI]

I can't believe it was Locke i have been wondering for so long whose funeral that was.
