First two episodes of season 4 are really strong. This is the kind of pacing that the show needs.
Thought: Mike can really talk to dead people that haven't moved on yet? Does that mean he is communicating with people in their own "flash-sideways" purgatories? Hmmm. |

Wait... I just saw Harold Perrineau in the main cast credits! Michael's coming back? Sweet.

I'm always pretty careful. I admit the last 5 of S3 are really good with the last one being very high on the list of all time. But polar bear cages, love triangle, Jack's tattoo etc etc. Pure bullshit.

WTF. The last four episodes of season 3 + the first 3 episodes of season 4 are like some Goddamned miracle run. This show is firing on all cylinders right now (and of course by right now I mean exactly where I am at on my viewing schedule of the show).

And IIRC, you haven't even hit The Constant.

Two epis away. I hear it is one of the series highlights.

"Eggtown" was pretty meh, even with the juicy set-up of Kate's trial. Thus ends the miracle run.
Then comes apparent fan-favorite "The Constant," which was really fun. Great directing; the epi captured in a visceral way the feeling of being lost in time, shifting back and forth. Plus this episode is proof positive that Lost at its best can be an emotional character drama AND a perplexing sci-fi/supernatural mystery at the same time. Thought: Charles Widmore is seen in this episode bidding on and winning a journal from a crewman on the Black Rock. This journal was previously owned by Tovard Hanso. As in the Hanso Foundation that funded the Dharma Initiative. What does Widmore want with that whole mess? |

Additional thought: is "the sickness" that hasn't been discussed since season 2 related to the timeshifting "side-effects?" George died, like Faraday's lab rat, of an aneurysm because he couldn't find a Constant. Did that happen to Rousseau's crewmates? Was the vaccine Desmond taking in the Swan hatch station preventing his timeshifting? Or is the sickness still not in play and Desmond's timeshifting only brought upon by the Swan's destruction/sky turning purple?

Season 4 is one of the best seasons. I wish that all the seasons were that short. I know that is sort of ludicrous, but I like shows that have 13 episode seasons. They could do with much less (like the Kate and Claire back-stories).

As far as Charles Widmore, can't really say anything, I know that was a rhetorical question anyways. Quote:

Oh, and everything that happened happened, and it happened because it was going to happen and did. Hope that clears everything up.
