After three seasons of smoke monsters, exploding hatches and mysterious “Others,” even the most diehard Lost fanatics need some answers. With the premiere of Season Four last Thursday, it seems as if they may start to get their wish.
Picking up where Season Three’s cliffhanger left off, it appears that Season Four will show through flash-forwards what happens to the “Oceanic Six” in addition to the continued on-island saga. While this opens up a whole new box of speculation, it does feel like the show is finally moving toward a fixed point.
We also got a glimpse of what appeared to be Christian Shepard (Jack’s dead father) in the enigmatic Jacob’s cabin, which would be quite a twist, opening up a world of new possibilities to what the survivors’ purpose on the island could be. And the arrival of a freighter with the promise of rescue has divided the survivors into two factions –– those whose trust the rescuers (or those who trust Jack) and those who don’t (and have placed their faith in Locke).
At this point, the show is almost impossible to predict, but if the rest of the episodes this season are as riveting as the first, it should be a great seven more episodes for Lost fans. Tune in Thursday night for more plot-twisting fun.
