Roush on the Return of LOST...
Jan. 31st, 2008 12:41 pmFrom TVGuide.com:
We're Rescued...
Rescued from our winter of strike blahs and blues, that is. No spoilers in this preview of the long-awaited new season, just an expression of relief, glee and thanks to ABC for delivering us from the doldrums of repeats, premature hiatuses and cheesy reality shows.
Lost has always been among TV’s most gorgeously produced, exotic flights of fancy and wonder, and that hasn’t changed. As the fourth season begins (I’ve seen the first two of eight completed episodes, and am ravenous for more), Lost has everything a discerning fan could want.
There’s conflict galore, as the castaways clash over whether to embrace the idea of But for now, sit back, strap in for the action-packed ride and enjoy.
Unlike last season’s momentum-stalling fall “pod” that spent too much time in the company of the Others, neglecting many of our core favorites for too long, these episodes integrate new faces with old as the mysterious story churns ever forward. You’re left wanting more of everything and of everyone, which this time around feels incredibly satisfying.
And what of Lost's manipulation of time? Many of us are still reeling from last season’s blockbuster cliff-hanger revelation that the show was now capable of jumping ahead in time, I can’t really address this, being bound by a laundry list of “do not reveal” advisories on ABC’s screeners. Suffice it to say that wherever Lost takes you — backwards, forwards, sideways — there’s almost always a thrilling shock or a jarring surprise awaiting you.
