Hope everyone’s caught up… this one’s bound to be worth discussing.

Unfortunately, this season has been a very short one. The pacing was much better than last season, which really just makes it seem all the shorter. We have seen some serious movement in plot (some of which was long over due) and more definition for the world outside the island–both before and after the crash.

Needless to say, with the revelations that have happened, things haven’t gotten any less strange. If anything, we’ve gone even deeper into modern fantasy (which psychic powers and strange experiments instead of elves and whatnot). That’s more than OK with me, as long as they keep the characters strong and the story moving.

More later.

If you haven’t been watching Lost this season, you’ve been seriously missing out.

Last season, the run started off a little rough. This time around, there was none of that.

That’s probably a good thing, with the long lull between last season and this season. Any faltering would have lost them a lot of viewers.

Tonights episode was one of the subtle ones… (more behind the cut)

Tonight, Lost returns to the airwaves after eight months off.

In TV years, that’s a really long time. Especially for a show that saw what some called a precipitous drop in ratings over the last season it was on.

If they don’t totally nail this first episode back, I don’t think there’s much that will save the show. Most causal viewers, it seems, have already given up on it. And after the poor start to last season, even some of the more vehement fans I know opted to just wait for the DVD set.

Some spoilers for those who aren’t caught up follow…
