Lost: Season 4 Lost #4

Survival. Mysteries. The Others.

And now, just possibly… rescue?

But, as they said in the end of the previous season, it’s not Penny’s boat.

So who’s is it?

I really enjoy this season. We get a chance to have some new characters (from the freighter come to rescue them), a bit of a shake up in terms of who’s on which side on th island, and a whole pile of ‘what is even going on’, split a bit between Desmond and newcomer Daniel Faraday–I do enjoy his character.

Overall, we really are starting to get into the point where you question ‘so… were they planning that all along? do even the writers know what’s going on?’

And … I’m pretty sure the answer is no? That doesn’t mean it’s a bad season though!

And, because of the 2008 writer’s strike, it’s a shorter season as well> Ramps of the tension that.

Favorite episodes this season?

The first flashes off the island–with their own level of *you did what now. The Constant, with timey-whimey shenanigans and There’s No Place Like Home, with everything coming to a tense, sometimes magical, and always chaotic end.

It’s interesting seeing Lost straddle the line between science fiction and more supernatural/fantasy. I tend to like the former, but a lot of times, it’s the contrast that really does the best.

Only two seasons left!

Onward!
