SO!
A new ARG has started. This year, Comic-Con brought with it a trailer of sorts (well, a viral vid) teasing S5. We learn Marvin Candle's real name and other fascinating things are hinted at.
Also, the Dharma Initiative has a new logo (that's Dharma and not DHARMA - odd): Talk about building hype early. I shall be keeping an eye on this one. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Daaaaaaaaamn! Cant wait for S5!!!

Season 5 poster has been revealed. Fairly standard fare, but with the season premiere drawing ever closer, I think it warranted the massive bump.
Personally, I don't know what to expect this season. I *loved* Season 4 after I despised Season 3. I'm not too sure if I am thrilled with the direction they've taken it, with a bunch of the Losties off the island and the rest still on it. The seasonal arc is already well-known, with the season being devoted to the gang off the island trying to get back. Based solely on that, it sounds like it will be somewhat of a filler season, kinda like Season 3. Either way, I'm pumped beyond belief. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Doesn't Season 5 start on January 21st?
I'm so psyched, though I am kind of nervous as to where they're going to take things. ESPECIALLY now that there's a clear division between the camps of the island. I just hope there's nothing stupid to come. I HAVE HOPE. I'm also a little bitter about Jack and Sawyer being clear front men on the poster. KATE, YOU WHORE. (Love Locke's stance though. "I'M THE BADASS HERE, GUYS. WHERE'S JACOB. CAN'T FIND HIM WITHOUT FATTIE") How ya doing, buddy? |
Thanks to the wonders of the interwebs, torrents and stuff, I can finally partake in the Lost discussions as soon as they come out in America. Fast-tracked in Australia? If fast track means two-weeks behind, Channel 7 .
It's pretty awesome to see Desmond in there. The Scottish time-traveler still has some stories to tell! What's making me nervous is the lack of Jin ;__;. What's happened to him? It might be a filler Season like Season 3, but with around 34-36 episodes left I don't think there'll be many wasted episodes. Here's hoping January comes fast. I was speaking idiomatically. |

FELIPE NO |
Personally, I think his death is being covered up. Hopefully we'll get some answers this season. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

Here's hoping they don't bring a mountain full of new mysteries. Hopefully they'll go back to the earlier seasons and start answering some of the smaller questions, leaving Season 6 for the big ones (such as the monster, Jacob and so on). There's nowhere I can't reach. |

It's really hard to follow all that. It's been too long since I saw the previous season. Perhaps another viewing is in order.
Or maybe I'll just ignore it. I'm losing faith. ;_; I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Ahhhhh oh god. I am impatient for new content. They've barely even been drip-feeding bits of plot this year; the latest ARG was weak as fuck.
Can't wait for the return of the weekly ritual/habit. I was speaking idiomatically. |
This doesn't have anything to do with Season 5, but I'm rewatching 1-4 before the 5 premiere, and having wrapped up Season 2 the other day, I found a few cool easter eggs. I doubt they're anything more than that and so can't expect small things like these to get an explanation, but nonetheless they're fun to find. Maybe these are all old news but they're new to me:

Alrighty then. By the time I finish writing this, it'll be the 21st over here. While the new season of Lost ain't starting until the 22nd for me, I'm completely hyped for the new Season after the awesomeness of Season 4.
A few advanced reviews of Episodes 1-3 give a very good outlook so far. Supposedly the "format" of the show will go beyond the flash-back/flash-forward formula they've had in the past. The best news, however, is that there'll be a LOT of answered questions. The ratio of questions to answers will apparently favour the latter and while stuff like Smokey and Jacob won't be touched upon until the last season, we'll finally be able to figure out the mysteries that have alluded us from the very start. I'm excited. You're excited. Here's to a crazy-ass fifth season! FELIPE NO |
Can't fucking wait. Season three left a bitter taste in my mouth, and although that lingered for the first few episodes of the fourth, it quickly turned into the best fucking season of any TV series I've ever seen. The Constant, Cabin Fever... So many amazing episodes. All killer, no filler.
Hopefully the fifth season will continue to deliver. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
While I was definitely satisfied by tonight's episode, I am still left with the feeling that in the end, the show will not reach any sort of emotional or intellectual peak, but will instead just sort of tie up the loose ends. In the 1-hour special before tonight's episode, the interview hinted at this...

Desmond's "unique and special characteristic" is one of the new questions that piqued my interest. Please explain, Faraday! There's nowhere I can't reach. |
It was odd having the show back.
I found almost everything entirely too predictable. Chris and I were calling each and every shot as they came without having read any spoilers. I feel very little connection to them all, and I kept seeing stupid shit which seemed to throw a monkey wrench in everything. O NO, HURLEY IS ACCUSED OF MURDER? Whatever shall we DO? And then the Island skipping like a record in time, how STUPID and ANNOYING. Ugh. The only good that came out of that was Locke's expression when shit kept skipping. I LOVED the random appearance of Ana Lucia, though. I was giddy with excitement, just because it made a real connection in my head to how things were. Dead people everywhere, Hurley is awesome, so on. I felt like the premiere kind of dragged and made little use of a 2 hour spot. O WELL. Farraday was once cool in my book. Now he seems like this textbook lunatic physicist and I couldn't give a damn about him and his stupid red-headed girlfriend. I want to see more development in the characters, and not just rushing forward on the mainland. SAYID GETS DARTED, HURLEY DRAGS HIM ACROSS EVERYWHERE. Let's throw some BEN in for good measure! I don't know. I guess my passion for the show is dwindling. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Seems like Faraday was the only character that had something to actually do in these episodes. Otherwise, NOTHING HAPPENED. Nothing. Which reminds me of season 1.
I kinda hoped Locke would be dead and I wouldn't have to see him, the monster, the cabin or other inane bullshit again. I hope they won't try to answer too many of these questions the previous seasons have left hanging in the air. The characters would actually get unlost if that happened and the point of the show would be ruined. Keep the strange shit piling up, c'est la vie. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I thought the premiere was pretty good. They brought out the characteristic mindfucks in force (although, aside from the first five minutes or so, most of it was fairly predictable), and confirmed a few things people have been wondering.
Here's hoping they'll follow BSG's lead and cut the fuck down on one-off filler episodes. Everybody who gave a fuck about Jack and his goddamned tattoos has hopefully stopped watching by now. I was speaking idiomatically. |
Some interesting [sorta] ideas popped up, at least. Like when Locke was near the plane and Ethan shot him--when he was originally there with Boone, didn't his leg stop working too? I'm also curious about Desmond being 'special'. Probably because of being so close to the 'explosion' when he turned the failsafe key. Maybe.
Ana Lucia's appearance was great. That whole dialogue made me laugh. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
So Richard Alpert. Immortal or what? Dude sure looks handsome for someone who looks to be the same age in 1954.
FELIPE NO |
Richard is a "native." Not one of the "others." I'm not sure why anyone who isn't a survivor is called an Other, but there's clearly different camps of Others. (Dharma, which Ben is technically one of, but killed everyone off) and the people who fought Dharma's presence - the Natives. Clearly, people were calling Juliet an "Other," but she was just hired on. I dislike the lack of distinction. Meanwhile, I felt like I learned nothing last night save for the fact that Widmore was in his youth on the island and worked under Richard. Which confused me a bit, since Ben also worked under Richard. So why would Ben and Charles go up against each other. Ugh, I knew it would boil down to this. I shouldn't be surprised. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Text to fill out the front page in case somebody still anals about being spoiled of this pile of shit.
Also, a boring episode. Charlotte's nosebleed was curious enough, though. She seems to take this time travelling too seriously. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
