By now, you may have guessed that Lost airs its season premiere tonight, and you may have been able to tell that I am pretty excited about it. In the last few days, I've practically worked myslef into a fever pitch, by frantically re-watching Season 3 and devouring every last bit of 'Lost' information on the Internet.
In that vein, here are a few final links before tonight's premiere:
Rave reviews from The LA Times, The Boston Globe, The San Jose Mercury, The Newark Star-Ledger, and USA Today. (Minor spoilers in each link)
And here are two interviews from two of my favorite castaways: Naveen Andrews (who plays Sayid) and Josh Holloway (Sawyer).
For myself, I think the thing I'm most excited about is the new timetable. We all know that there are only 48 epsiodes left, and the producers and writers can plan accordingly. That means no more episodes about Jack's tatoos, and now six episodes won't be devoted to watching Sawyer be tortured in a polar bear cage. Although I've long since given up on hoping for all of the answers wrapped up in a neat little bow, at least now they can work towards some kind of resolution. Obviously, I want to know what the hell the smoke monster is and why it makes mechanical noises and why it killed Eko and not Locke, but I trust these guys to tell me, in time.
The other big thing that I'm looking forward to is, of course, the flash forwards. It was a brilliant stroke by the producers to completely change the way we look at the show, and from what I've been reading, the new element adds a lot to the new season. Now, if the strike could end soon (before the Oscars, please) we might actually get our 16 promised episodes. If not, it's going to be a long, long wait until next February.
Less than 5 hours to go!! If I can calm myself down enough to type after the premiere, I'll have a recap up by tomorrow.
