LOST season 4 episode 1

**AirWalke** · 01-29-2008, 11:13 AM

Just a mere two days away! I was hoping for a two hour season premiere, but from what it sounds like, it's going to be an hour long recap show followed by the actual premiere itself.

But also, tomorrow night is going to be a replay of the season 3 finale, along with subtitles at the bottom that will allegedly contain "new facts, and new revelations!". However, that just sounds like stuff for the people who watch the show and can't read between the lines.

To cap things off, ABC has been working with Verizon to provide a series of episodes only viewable on Verizon phones. These segments are about 2 minutes long and provide something like a deleted scene from the previous 3 seasons. In reality, these segments were filmed alongside of the season 4 shows, but they've provided some nice backstory on a few of the events from previous seasons.

Anyway, the very last episode was released today, and of course, it's found its way onto YouTube... and it's probably the first of the thirteen episodes that have been truely "WTF" worthy. Check it out for yourself, or highlight the spoiler text below:

The episode begins with a point-of-view shot of something running through the jungle, encountering various articles of clothing and luggage. You hear the sound of a dog panting, and realize that it's Vincent tromping through the wilderness... and that the sounds in the distance are coming from the aftermath of the crash.

Vincent comes to a sudden stop at the pair of legs of someone standing in front of him. The camera pans up to reveal Christian Shephard, Jack's deceased father. Christian beckons Vincent over and tells him that Jack is laying in a bamboo forest just a short distance from him, and that Vincent needs to go over there and bring him to his senses.

As Vincent dashes off, Christian pauses, and says that Jack "has work to do"... the same exact thing said by Walt in the Season 3 finale.

I am happy about the recap show, since it has not been on in 3 years, all I remember about lost is hot chick, plane crash, scruffy guy, and something about a submarine.

No spoilers for me. I love watching it unfold week to week. I'm just finishing up re-watching Season 3 and cannot wait until Thursday.

Will season 4 only have 8 episodes?

I thought I read there were only 6 episodes.

I am glad it is on Thursdays so I can actually watch it when it is on and not have to record it!

Nope, there will be 8... and if the writer's strike ends any time soon, they will be able to complete the other 8 episodes for this season.

I agree... I hated it being on Wednesdays -- it interfered with too many home basketball games for my taste! ;)

Explain to me this live tv thing? You at least wait till 7:30 so you can skip the commercials right?

BTW, Lost in HD is great, lots of little things you can stop and rewatch in HD. I love pausing on maps and labels, etc.

Just rewatched the season 3 finale on Sunday. CAN'T WAIT for the Thursday!

I am pumped. Next year is the finale correct?

Not sure what you mean by this. The season 4 finale could be delayed to later this year if the writers strike isn't resolved... but if you're referring to the series finale, that's still another 3 seasons off. (4, 5, and 6.)

Ok good, I swear I heard the series finale would be next year instead of 2010 which I originally thought. Im impatient. i need to know the end!

Wow... I've watched all the mobisodes but that was the only one I'm glad I watched. I hope they explain a bit more of that on the premiere, but not holding my breath.

**AirWalke** · 01-29-2008, 12:10 PM

To me, it just means more LOST.

I'm anxious to see the resolution though, too.

I wish we had gotten HD a few months ago so we could've gotten an OTA option on our HDDVR. But im excited just to see Jack, Locke and co back on the tube.
