LOST is a very difficult series to summarize as a whole or even as separate ideas. Anyone who watches the show regularly knows how difficult it is to explain to a non-lostie even what one character does on the show. Questions never cease to multiply on ABC’s not-so-deserted island drama. From the moment Flight 815 crashed on the seemingly uninhabited island, a spark was ignited in the minds of the viewers that has yet to die out. Each episode and season that has followed brought only more unanswered connections, identities and theories.
This drama has caused a form of jungle fever-- it is truly a cultural addiction for those involved. Many websites and blogs have been dedicated to the hundreds of theories, predictions and facts accumulated over the series' three season run. The third season did not disappoint when it came to the mind boggling twists and turns creator J.J. Abrams promises. Jack almost goes home but instead brings back one of the "others", Sawyer and Kate finally break their sexual tension behind the bars of a cage and Charlie meets his unfortunate fate as promised by the future-telling Desmond in order to save Claire and the island. Amidst the turmoil taking place in real-island time, the usual flashbacks take an unexpected turn. The writers throw the regulars a curve ball by flashing forward to a time where Kate and Jack are off the island. They get off the island? Jack is an addict? Kate looks even better in make-up? Why is Jack insistent on returning to the island screaming, "We have to go back!"? And so the questions keep piling up...
Season four's premiere is only hours away and for two hours my jaw will drop, I won't sit back from the edge of my seat and my eyes will be glued to the set. Not all of my questions can be answered in this premiere but as one is revealed more will inevitably be asked.
