I Can't Wait To Get 'Lost'
Now that the writer's strike (which seems like it could be never ending) has sidelined all my favorite shows, "Lost" is the only thing I have to look forward to this January - save for the one leftover "Desperate Housewives" episode floating around that will air on January 6th.
I kind of have mixed feelings about the return of the story of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 on January 31st, 2008. First of all, I'm annoyed that ABC moved the show last year to February so that they could run the back 16 episodes continuously -- worst decision ever by a network Entertainment President!
Having to wait all that time for it to return, the show lost (pun intended) a ton of momentum. Season three started out pretty weak, with too much time spent on the Others. But then it fortunately built to a brilliant flash forward crescendo in the season three finale.
It's clearly not just me who is excited for "Lost's" return. Have you seen the brand new 1:45 minute trailer that has hit the Internet with a tease for the new season? It's good. Really good. Goose bump inducing good.
I love how people are watching the trailer and picking it apart frame by frame:
"Did you see Jack's dad (Christian Shephard) in the cabin?"
"Is that a reflection of a city in the end titles?"
"Did I see Naomi alive?"
"Is Hurley going to die?"
Personally, I don't have time to pick it apart like that, but it sure did get me pumped up for it to come back on January 31st (moving from Wednesday to Thursday nights).
So, why the mixed feelings you ask? Well, the problem is that we only have eight episodes to delve back into the mysteries of the Islands. That's all that had been produced before the strike hit.
How can they tease us with such juicy footage knowing they can't deliver any real answers in eight episodes? Just when I start getting into it, they will rip it away from me and I'll still be hleft ewwith repeats and bad reality shows. Never will "American Idol" look so good to me!er
