LOST again

Thursday was not only the first day of our second semester, but it was the season premiere of one of my favorite shows, LOST. This is going to be the fourth season of the hit show on ABC and I'm really looking forward to it. I got started watching LOST sometime during the first season and now it doesn't seem possible that this is already the fourth season. The producers decided to do something really smart in order to please viewers- they show the whole season of new shows all in a row, instead of including some reruns every so often. This is great because LOST needs to be watched sequentially in order for viewers to understand the plot and backgrounds of the characters. It could be really confusing to new viewers if reruns were thrown in the mix. The only down side to this setup is that the show is only on for a limited of time. The plan was for there to be 3 more seasons of LOST, including this season, with each season consisting of 16 new episodes. Now, with the writers' strike, only 8 shows for this season are made. That is a bit disappointing but it also makes me enjoy the 8 shows even more.

So, for all of you LOST fans out there, who do you think is in the casket at the funeral home Jack goes to? As my friends and I were watching the recap of the previous seasons and anxiously counting down the minutes to the season premiere, a few possibilities were thrown out: it could be Sawyer, Ben, or even Michael. I personally think that it's Sawyer because why else would Jack call Kate to see if she had seen the obituary? Kate and Sawyer have some sort of relationship so that makes the most sense to me. Also, who do you think the "Oceanic 6" are?

I think this season will be really good since they are now including flash forwards, instead of just flash backs, to tell the story. This will keep viewers intrigued and guessing. Already I have lots of questions which I can't wait to get answered. Hopefully the 8 shows will help answer some of them.

Other than getting together with friends to watch LOST, I've been doing quite a bit of homework for my classes. Despite only having 2 days of school this week, I am grateful for the weekend to be able to get some work done. I think that my classes this term will be enjoyable, but I know it will take me a while to get used to my new schedule. This term's schedule is a lot different than what I had first term. Last term on MWF I didn't start until 11. This term I start at 8 and my last class getting done at 3:45. The plus side is that I'll be up and moving, and I'll be able to can get homework done and study between classes. I know it'll work out fine, I just need some time to get used to it.

Let me know if you have any questions I can answer, and I would really love to hear from LOST fans about what they are thinking about the season. I can't wait for next Thursday's show!
