Lost - The Return! January 31st on ABC
Posted by: admin in Science Fiction Television, Lost, JJ Abrams
My DVD-watching habits of the last few weeks months have been dominated by re-watching the first 3 seasons of Lost on DVD. Fortunately it’s not a total loss since those crazy island dwellers will be returning January 31st on ABC, with a 2 hour episode.
Check out some early preview photos here:

So here’s the clues the previews have provided so far:
1. Some will get off the island, some won’t. Interesting. Straw poll to see who gets off the earliest? I say Jack gets off next season - he’s too central to what’s going on. Claire might be allowed to leave. So far no signs of Charlie - could it be that he’s actually deceased? No preview photos of him. . . But Michael does appear to return.
2. The passengers of flight 815 aren’t the rescue freighters‘ “primary objective“. Well, we all know that the island itself is powerful, in both its post-2004 technology (floating nano-cloud security system anyone?). So the question becomes what is on the island that is most valuable? Something we’re already aware of that we haven’t connected the dots, or some new object of imporantance? Jacob obviously is a crucial character - could it be that his presence, the island’s powers, are all intertwined to a long lost episode of Alias?
3. Do we get 8 weeks or the 16 we’ve been patiently waiting for? As of this minute, we get 8. The Scifi Guy supports the Writer’s Strike, even if it means a few delays in some good Spring shows. The web is the next media profit center for the major production organizations, and I think it’s appropriate that the writers be compensated for their work in all distribution channels, not just the ones that have been agreed to so far.
… more to come as I find out more!
