Lost: Season Four (1 Viewer)

[TravisR]

Heck of an opening. There's a ton of new and interesting mysteries that they've opened up with.

Lance Reddick (the guy who was claiming to be Oceanic's lawyer) is a scary looking dude.

For the people watching too closely, I think the car that Hurley was driving at the beginning was the same car that he and his dad were working on in a flashback in last season's Tricia Tanaka Is Dead. And the detective who mentioned Ana Lucia was indeed in her flashback episode.

 

[Joe_H]

Am I mistaken, or was one of the cops at the beginning, surrounding Hurley's car, Doakes from Dexter? It was a very quick look, and he didn't say anything, so I'm not entirely sure, but it looked a lot like him.

 

[Jason_V]

Okay, am I correct in assuming the flash forwards with Hurley preceed the flash forwards we saw with Jack in the season finale? Jack mentions thinking about growing a beard (which he does have), after all. And they both seem to have the same agenda in the flash fowards, that of going back to the island. ("He" wants them to go back...Jacob?)

Which then leads to the questions: if Hurley went with Locke, how does he get off the island? How does he know Jack is "right" in needing to go back? Who are the Oceanic Six (Jack, Hurley, Kate...who else?)? And is Hurley really going nutters or is it the island playing tricks with him from a far?

 

[Jose Martinez]

Jack, Kate, and Hurley. So who are the other 3 of the Oceanic 6 that made it off the island. Any guesses?

 

[Jason_V]

Wild speculation on my part, but I'm thinking whoever was in the casket from the finale. No one in the outside world would get Jack so riled up, so I think it would have to be someone from the island. At least we know who it's *not* at this point.

 

[TravisR]

For all the reasons you said, it must be set before Jack's flashforward.

 

[TonyD]

i think it's clear(well not that clear) that the FF's(flashforwards) will not be in chronological order, this will further confuse everything.

 

[Lou Sytsma]

Man Hurley rocked tonight.

He was so badass when he intercepted Desmond and told him he would tell Claire the bad news. And then in the very next beat with Claire he lost it. The new and old Hurley in one scene. Awesome writing and acting.

Did anyone else do a headcount as each group was walking through the jungle to try and figure out who the "Oceanic six" were? I'll bet I wasn't the only one and was it just me or did Kate look like she was wearing make-up tonight? Looked great on her but she had just emerged from the jungle, WTF?
I'm going to have to watch closely to try and figure out whose "flash forward" we're being shown and whats real and whats Hurley's imagination, all in all a great start to the season.

I seem to recall that in the replay of the Season 3 finale, it was said that the person in the accident on the bridge and in the casket was one of the Oceanic survivors. I recorded it so I'll have to look.

 

[TonyD]

the surgeon of the woman on the bridge has the same last name as bernard.

Hope all y'all enjoy getting strung along for the next 47 episodes. The writers are going to scramble many viewers' brains over the course of these 3 years coming up.

Who's that in the cabin:

 

[Matt^Brown]

I wonder if the person in the casket could still be Micheal? Maybe he is not part of the OC6 and therefore a lot harder for Jack to understand.

 

[Joe_H]

I personally was a little surprised myself when the actor who plays Michael's name was in the credits again. Did he have some hidden appearance I didn't catch?

 

[TravisR]

Or someone in his form. I wonder how the hell that happened.

 

[pitchman]

And one of last night's "pop-up videos" speculated on the fact that whoever is in the coffin in L.A., is someone who originally came from New York.

Great episode, BTW! It is so nice to finally have Lost back on the air!

 

[Patrick Sun]

I knew who it was, just wanted to make sure others realized it as well. Just to pour some more fuel on the speculation fire that always runs rampant after each episode of Lost. I'm content on just watching and chilling because we are at the tip of the iceberg once again with the mishmash of the flash-forwards and the island drama.

 

[Mikah Cerucco]

I miss the lack of fear over venturing into the forest because of the smoke monster and polar bears, etc.

Anyway, I have to get back in a Lost frame of mind. I found myself feeling like some of the detractors -- that nothing was really happening. I've heard this season will move pretty quickly and at least provide answers while opening up new questions, so I wasn't frustrated or anything, but I did notice myself feeling like the episode was dragging at times.

Stabbed in the back and left for dead in a clearing populated by many people, then suddenly come back to life and crawl away and nobody sees you? Not only that, but climb a tree? After all that, finally die? That just didn't feel very strong to me.

It was nice to see Imaginary Charlie.

Off we go...

 

[Joe_H]

I wanted to add that I'm really glad they're doing more flash-forwards. Quite frankly, the flashbacks had nothing we hadn't seen already, in many of the season 3 episodes. This opens things up much more.

i thought it was locke.
