Lost Confirmed Dead S04E02 (ABC)

Lost is a United States serial drama television series that follows the lives of plane crash survivors on a mysterious tropical island, after a passenger jet flying between Sydney, Australia and Los Angeles, United States crashes somewhere in the South Pacific. Each episode typically features a primary storyline on the island as well as a secondary storyline from another point in a character’s life. The show was created by Damon Lindelof, J. J. Abrams and Jeffrey Lieber, and is filmed primarily on location in Oahu, Hawaii. The pilot episode was first broadcast on September 22, 2004. Since then, three seasons have aired. The show is produced by ABC Studios, Bad Robot Productions and Grass Skirt Productions and airs on the ABC Network in the United States. Its incidental music is composed by Michael Giacchino. The current executive producers are Abrams, Lindelof, Bryan Burk, Jack Bender and Carlton Cuse. Because of its large ensemble cast and the cost of filming in Hawaii, the series is one of the most expensive on television.

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

As a lot of other viewers, I was hotly anticipating the new season of Lost. However, since the WGA strike, I thought that they would simply choose to cancel the season, since with only 8 episodes shot and produced, fans would be disappointed. I think that possibly ABC might choose to produce the rest of the season this year and air it. Some of the networks will air shows during the summer. This is possible for Lost.

The second episode centers on the arrival of the new people on the island. We learn why they are here. Ben acts out. Locke wants to make a detour. Jack and Kate are able to reverse their situation, but still help out Daniel.

Daniel isn’t very good at duplicity. He’s a bad liar and Kate and Jack are well aware of this. Thanks to Juliette and Sayid, they get the upper hand.

This episode is told from the viewpoint of the new characters. We see bits and pieces on how this expedition was mounted by Matthew Abaddon, the lawyer who comes to talk with Hurley in the future while he is in the nut house.

We also learn that Naomi has been lying. However we do not know to what extent. The flashforwards paint a strange picture of what happened to the losties and who made it off the island alive. This episode’s flashforwards focus on the new characters and what happens to them after the island.

We find out why Ben was adamant about not contacting the people from the boat.
