Now The Countdown Really Begins!



I'm heading off this morning, after carpool, to get my Season 4 DVDs and intend to spend the next week, the week before school gets out for Christmas, to devour them in peace and quiet.

I have not re-watched any of Season 4 since it finished airing. I started to re-watch 4.1 a few weeks ago, but it was depressing. Half the people in the episode are now dead. I also fear the re-watch may fall a little flat because S4's big question was "they're off the Island?" and S4 answered that question. Moreover Locke being in the coffin has not been the "What's in the hatch?" "What do the Others want?" "WTF?" finale moment that's kept me speculating all off season.

But now it's only 42 days, 8 hours until Season 5, so my Season 4 re-watch must begin. Hopefully it will in fact raise questions that I can post here on my mostly dormant blog. But even if it doesn't, it should get the juices flowing for that January 21st kickoff date that's got me more excited than Florida/Oklahoma.

So Now That We're Flashing
In All Directions, Will We Get
A Family Flash?
























Heading into Season 4 I wonder if we'll ever get
the story of what happened at LAX when Flight 815 didn't
land. It was Hurley's mom's birthday. Ana Lucia's mom
was going to be reunited with her missing daughter.
Zach and Emma's mom was meeting them. Jack's mom was
going to bury her husband.

After watching The Other 48 Days, I hope this story
will be episode 4.1. The Pilot gave us the crash from the
point of view of our main LOSTies. The Other 48 Days,
Episode 2.7, showed the crash for the Tailies. (I now wish it
had been Episode 2.1 though that would have created a huge
outcry.) Episode 3.1 gave us the crash for The Others, so I
think 4.1 giving us the crash from the point of view of the
families would be cool.

Will Season 4 Open With a Song?

Season 2 gave us Mama Cass and Make Your Own
Kind of Music on a turntable. Season 3 gave us
Petula Clark singing Downtown on a CD. I'm
guessing Season 4 starts with Creedence Clearwater
Revival's Bad Moon Rising being played on one of
these.

Do Flash Forwards Drive You To This?















1. Will there be Flash Forwards in Season 4 or will they go the way the arctic listening post and 4-toed statue did in Season 3?

2. Will there be Flash Backs in Season 4?

3. Is Jack's Flash Forward set in stone?

4. Will we ever see Flash Forwards from a time after Through The Looking Glass's Flash Forward?
