I thought there was already a topic for season 4, but I can't seem to find it.
It's been a long time since Season 3 ended, so long infact I think I've forgotten how season 3 ended. I think it had something to do with a flash forward? (
) Anyway, despite the writers strike, it looks like season 4 will be on starting Thursday, January 31st at 9pm. I found a small clip from the premire here:

Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope

That right there is the reason I try to avoid reading anything at all related to Lost. I even try to avoid eye contact with any magazines at the store that have Lost on the cover. I kept myself from all news the week before the season finale last year and had no idea at all about what would be going on. It was great and I was quite shocked by some revelations. So hard as it is I attempt to avoid reading any news having to do with Lost.
So it seems that six of them (the Oceanic 6) escaped from the island. Three of them are Jack, Kate and Hurley. But Hurley went with Locke, so presumably something brings them together again. And also does that 6 include Michael? who must return soon, as Harold Perrinau is back on the cast list.
The cop who questions Hurley is Ana Lucia’s ex-partner. But Hurley denies knowing her. Why? Does he not want the cop to know that Ana is dead? Or is there another reason? I think this cop intends to try and find out what happened to her, meaning we’ll see him interacting with the other escapee’s.
It was great to see Lance Reddick from The Wire joining the cast as Hurley’s sinister visitor who claimed to be from Oceanic, but had no ID. We know that something is going to go very wrong with the rescue. Sinister guy asks “Are they still alive?” and Hurley freaks. When Jack visits, Hurley accuses him of making sure he’s going to stay quiet. So Jack seems to be involved in what went wrong, or made a decision to leave without the rest.
Also who is the “he” Hurley refers to when he says he wants them to go back? Jacob? I missed what scared Hurley in the cabin. Did anybody else see it?
Was Charlie a hallucination? Hugo’s had them before. But “I am dead, but I’m also here,” seems a very evocative line. But then again, Charlie might function as Hugo’s conscience from now on.
And I actually like Jack more now that he’s turning into a real a**hole.
And a side note. The drunk pilot called a phone number on the tv screen. These web sites and phone numbers are not made up. They actually connect to something. The phone number provided had no new information about flight 815, but as information is found, the message on the number will be updated. Here's the fan number:
1-888-548-0034
Also, any one want to guess who #4 is of the Oceanic 6 and who the person Ben has on the freighter?
I'll give it a shot. I'm guessing that Claire will be one of the Oceanic 6. Whether she is #4 or not, who knows. Why do I think this? When Desmond was telling Charlie about his vision in which Charlie drowned he told him that if he did this he saw Claire and her baby getting on a helicopter to get off the island. This was the primary reason Charlie laid down his life I think. And what do you know, there's now a helicopter on the island! As for the man on the boat my guess is Michael.
Oh yes, the pale redhead. A very nice addition indeed. As for Jermey Davies, as I sat and watched the show I knew I had seen the actor before, but didn't know where I had seen him. I racked my brain for hours on end before I gave up and went to imdb. Jeremy Davies was in Saving Private Ryan , one of my all time favorite movies. Of course it looks like his charector is a little bit different.
I liked the scene at the beginning when he is really upset at seeing the wreckage, but doesn't know why. Going back to the first episode, when Oceanic/or is he? guy asks Hurley are they still alive? Could he be referring to the team he sent onto the island? He seems quite adamant in ep 2 that there were no survivors to the plane crash, although it could be a cover-up.
Seems like I remember in season 1, a flashback of Claire going to a psychic. The psychic told her that great danger surronds the baby. So who knows, maybe the danger has passed, maybe not.
Another thing I just thought of to. In this episode we heard Locke tell the survivors Walt was big. In Lost time, the survivors have only been on the island for no more than 80 days. That's quite a growth spurt for a kid (remember we saw Walt at the end of last season). Now shift to the second episode of this season. We saw Claire holding her baby. A big baby, who is holding his own head up already at 1 month old or maybe 2 months old. All I know is, that's a big baby for being so young.
Sayeed!
The "flash forward" into Sayeed's future was the best yet, revealing that as part of his deal in getting off the island he becomes an assassin. It was a good "spy-vs.-spy" story with a twist ending that I should have seen coming, but didn't. That said, I wasn't at all surprised to find out who Sayeed's employer is!
Otherwise, the story on the island was OK, with the growing war between the Jack and Locke factions becoming more complicated, and with loyalties always in doubt. Best line comes after Miles calls Hurley "Tubby:" "Oh, great. The ship sent us another Sawyer!"
Now to find out who Number Five is. . .
i wouldn't be surprised at all if Number Five is Sawyer and number 6 is Locke. What I find intersting though is, they refer to these people as the Oceanic 6. Why do they call them this? Are these the 6 that took the large settlement that Sayed talked about? Maybe everyone gets off the island, but only six took a settlement offered by Oceanic. It's just to early to anaylize. Onward to next week, and Oceanic #5. I'm sticking with either Sawyer or Locke.
Anyway, another solid episode, chronicling the "future" trial of Kate and the revelation of her "son," who, not surprisingly, ends up being Aaron. (I guess he's the fifth survivor?) Naturally, the questions only continue--what happened to Claire, how did Ben get such control over the survivors, and who is the sixth survivor? (Could it be Michael, who has yet to appear?) And what, pray tell, is the true identity of Ben, formely presented as a simple janitor who made it to the top through homicide?
I'm also intrigued by the complete change in the character of Locke, who seems to be transforming into Colonel Kurtz. I sort of miss the old mystical Locke, but as we all know, on Lost nothing is forever. See ya all next week!
(Her fiance sent it to her. She wasn't sure where he lifted it from)
I only put the spoiler tag up because there are some therioes about the mystery of the island. Most of the stuff mentioned has happened already.
The projectile fired from the boat had a clock inside of it, as did his little setup he had on the island. The clocks were synched together and started up at the same time when the projectile was fired from the ship. When the projectile finally landed on the island, it's clock read a time about an hour slower than the clock on the island. This is a case of Einstein's theory on special relativity. If something is moving at near light speed it experiences time slower than an object that is stationary. This has actually been proven. For a full explanation search Twin Paradox on Wikipedia. So, my guess is that there is something freaky acting as a force field around the island, maybe some type of electromagnetic field. Remember an episode ago when Farraday talked about the weird way the light scattered on the island...
Also, the guy they keep calling on the boat is named Minkowski. Minkowski is also the name of a German mathematician who came up with the concept of "spacetime."
Now, as for time travel. Somehow Dharma figured it out. The put one portal somewhere, maybe at their headquarters and the other one on the island. The Others took control of the island and thus that portal so Dharma really wants it back.
There are a ton of different theories for how it works and the consequences, but a few that really stick out to me are Locke, Rose, and pregnant women.
If the people on the plane travelled back in time, it could be a time period before Locke became paralyzed and before Rose got cancer. So that explains why they've been "cured."
Pregnant women is an even bigger clue. If a childless woman travels back in time she could not possibly give birth. It's the Grandfather paradox. If you travel back in time could you shoot your grandfather dead? If you could then how could you possibly exist in the future to be able to travel back in time?
If you have no child, you can't travel back in time and have a child. It's impossible, thus they die during childbirth.
By the way,in this particular episode Sawyer's reading The Invention of Morel.It's likely this book is another ruse designed to confuse the viewers--but it seems interesting anyway.

Maybe this will help cb:

Perfect! Thanks for the link. I thought the numbers had been explained at some time but just could not remember.
Also, I'd like to pick up on my VALIS theory a bit. In Dick's novel, consciousness is beamed to human beings through a mysterious pink ray. The color of the ray used to bring Eloise "back" to the present? Pink.
O, man, the show is downright good again. I just hope that the episodes that are being produced now, since the strike, can maintain this quality. I'd hate to see so much build-up to a nothing payoff!
