LOST Returns January 31st 2008

Well fellow LOST fans, we are getting closer and closer to Season 4 of LOST. If you have not already seen the new LOST trailer, head on over to OWA and watch it. We will wait for you...

OK - back? If that does not get you hyped, then you are not a real LOST fan!

So, it does seem like I was wrong in my assumption that Jack & Kate's Flash Forward was not real - we now know that it is very real.

I am looking forward to this season, and it will be very different with potential island time, flash backs and flash forwards and us not necessarily knowing who is where and when.

Based on what we know, and what we can speculate on from seeing the recent trailer, here is my guess as to what we are going to see in the first few episodes:

The freighter people are clearly not there to rescue the Losties, in fact they are there for something or someone else. The Losties will split into two groups - Jack's Group, consisting of himself, Kate, Jin & Sun, Hurley and Sayid. The second group will be Locke's group consisting of Locke, Bernard & Rose, Claire & Aaron and Sawyer.

This will be an even split of 6 losties on each team. Locke will lobby his group to stay behind and will likely strike an alliance with some of the others like Danielle and Alex.

Jack will cut a deal with the freighter people to rescue his team in exchange for giving them what they want - the remains of the Dharma/Others.

The rescue will not be so simple - there will be serious complications which in the end will result in Jack and his team being rescued, but not without a fight.

Sawyer's decision to stay is seen in the trailer when he tells Kate that he is just doing what he always does - surviving.

Some of the others will be captured by the freighter people as a result of Jack's 'deal', including Juliet.

The wild card in the whole deal will be Desmond, who I predict will also get off the island, but will find out that Penny is not who he thinks and his story will not end well.

We will find out a lot more about the influence and connection of characters who may no longer with us, particularly Libby and Christian Shephard.

Although we will only get 8 of the 16 Season 4 episodes for now due to the writer's strike, they are only going to get us more pumped for the last 8 episodes which hopefully will not be too far off....


And for you people who looked at the trailer very closely - what do you see here? Did Naomi survive Locke's knife wound? It sure looks like it to me.

What do you all think? Feel free to post your comments or ideas.
