Lost season 4 has many twists and turns. It's episodes are done pretty smart. We learn that 6 passengers got off the island by flash forwards instead of flashback. The season just leads to a brilliant conclusion of how they actually got off the island and what happened to the people that didn't. In no way is this the season though since it still raises many questions in the finale and through-out the season.
Sine season 3 ended with Jack calling a freighter to come rescue them eventhough Locke and Ben warned him that it would be a huge mistake. What do they know though,...Jack's a Doctor and Doctor's know everything due to years in college lol. But the all mighty brainiac does bring some harm to the island. Since one of the freighter guys is a big military nut that has been hired to bring Ben off the island. He doesn't care who he kills to succeed in his mission. So no, he can careless about rescueing them off the island.
Kevin Durand has been seen in movies like 3:10 to Yuma and Wild Hogs but it's in Lost that he really shines as the military nut. Hell he would have been an awesome Punisher for Punisher 2! The other new cast members who are familiar from many movies are good as well. Jeff Fahey of Lawnmower Man and of Planet Terror does some of his better work as well as a helicopter pilot for the freighter guys. Ken Leung (X-Men 3) is perfect as a wiseass who has the ability to talk to the dead. His character is pretty interesting and I hope they do more with him in season 5. Jeremy Davies (Saving Private Ryan) is another familiar face as a brainy guy who basically just wants to do...brainy stuff on the island lol. His brains can help sometimes and he seems pretty harmless but you never know when he's being honest to the castaways.
Due to the season of being cut down due to the strike, we don't even get a Sawyer flashback. He is still however used well through-out the season and still one of the cooler guys of the show. The show still delivered a pretty solid season. It answers many questions while also being one of the more thrilling and unpredictable seasons. I'll also say that we find out who's in the coffin and many of us were dieing to know after season 3. Of course, I'm not going to give away who it is though. We also get the reappearnce of a familiar face and I'll give you a hint, he used to scream "WALT!" lol.

This is absolutely NOT a thinking person's notion of stimulating entertainment, If I were you, I would watch the first and last episode and I sware you won't miss a thing. There's just on thing clear here: They wlll be lost forever ok?, so don't waste your time, or the next one to be lost will be you. It is so incredible boring!! and you know the worse? I am not exagerating!!! Try Prison break and your undestanding of great suspense will be changed forever.

While I was not such a great fan of the series in the beginning, Lost has shown itself to develop into very solid TV viewing here. While the constant flashbacks are not allways that interesting and are unenecessary, because it is still what is happening on the island that is the most interesting, they only disturb at times. The storyline is tsrong and we get to see what happens to Jack as he is with the Others. Of cuorse the whole thing does end up in an unexpected cliffhanger episode towrds the end but I guess that is necessary. Probably of the more surreal moments in the episodes would not even be necessary since the overall quality is rather high. Also at the moment you can get the whole series quite cheaply.

I've been a "lostie" from the very beginning. I didn't catch it on the reruns...I didn't borrow someone's DVDs...I was right there from the very beginning and I knew from that very first episode that LOST was not just another show.
It's a show that requires thinking and not to sound elitist or anything, but thinking is kind of a lost art - no pun intended - this show forces you to pay attention and look not only at what's happening in the forefront, but also at what's taking place in the background. Of course, this cannot be done with a single viewing and there have been many episodes that I have watched over and over noticing little things here and there that I may not have noticed before. Most of us tend to think that just because we have seen something once we know all there is to know about something. This is a false as well as a dangerous assumption because we never really know all there is to know about anything - ourselve included.
Of course, most people don't want to invest their time in something that requires so much thinking. Most people want to be entertained. But not only is this show a "thinking person's" show, it is also a highly entertaining show, as well and this season really packed a whallop with each and every episode.
If there was anything good that came from the writer's strike, it was this season because it forced the writers to really cut back on excess storylines and make each episode tight and to the point. There were a couple of episodes where I just sat there long after the credits rolled up just in total amazement at how incredibly powerful one show could be and if you think that I'm that I'm just gushing to gush, think again.
Michael Emerson, the actor who portrays the character Ben, is such a convincing actor on every level. He really makes you think about this character; who is he, really? Why is he the way he is? What are his true intentions? And not only do you think about him, you really feel for this character - at least, I do. He runs the range of human emotions from being downright evil to compassionate and concerned. He's a living, breathing dichotomy and if we're honest with ourselves, most of us are.
Someone suggested that this show is "ridiculous". This show is anything but ridiculous. It may leave you scratching your head, it may have you running to your computer and googling a name like Jeremy Bentham to see what possible information can be uncovered or discovered about that particular person, but it is never ridiculous.
The creators of this show decided that they were going to tell a story and sometimes stories have to go a long way to unravel themselves fully and completely but the person who stays with the story is ultimately rewarded. I trust the creators of the show. I firmly believe that they know where they are going with this show and it won't end in some way like it was "all just a dream" in a character's mind or it was a child's "snowglobe" or anything remotely similar. I think it will end like it started - a complete mind blower. Most television shows don't want to "blow minds". They want the viewer to feel "comfortably numb" and safe.
True safety lies not in the known but in the unknown and if you are willing to take the time to get "LOST" you will be ultimately rewarded in the long run.
Peace and Blessings all you losties,
