Happy New Year!

I haven't had much time to blog lately, but needless to say my episode reviews will be up as usual following the show. The only difference being it may take me a day or two longer to get them up with my new commute. I also have several half-finished posts I'll try and get up and running as well. Part of the lack of posting is that I'm really, really trying not to spoil myself for the opener, a feat which is becoming increasingly difficult given that several people on the internets have seen it. Note: I have NOT read those two linked articles and they probably contain spoilers!

In the comments of my previous post, Ana has a nice review of some of the extras on the DVD (which I haven't had time to watch yet - maybe Friday since I have it off). But she also asks the following question:

Do you think Walt is a part of the “everyone” that has to go back to the island?

I think this is one of the most interesting questions going into the new season, not just for Walt, but for Desmond too. Neither of them were officially part of the Oceanic 6, yet they're arguably the two most important characters on the show. Personally, I'd be shocked if both of them didn't return to the island at some point, but who knows?

I hope everyone has a safe, happy and fun New Year! Of course, with new LOST being just three weeks away, 2009 is already shaping up to be AWESOME! :)

Because You Left

Title of the LOST season opener. There's a preview in the link as well, but I'm resisting. Getting harder each passing day though.

However, my Season 4 DVD has arrived. The only thing I've had time to do with the holidays and all is rewatch "The Constant," which may bump "Flashes Before Your Eyes" off the #1 spot in my LOST Top Ten Episodes list. Need to watch Flashes again to be sure.

How's everyone liking the DVD? Are the extra features great or meh?

More Season 5 Lost Spoilage

Haven't clicked on it, didn't read it thanks to some out-of-nowhere willpower, but Ain't It Cool News has a full two minutes of the Season Premiere, along with some episode titles.

This is the hardest part of the wait now, balancing my thirst for anything LOST and not spoiling myself for the opener. *sigh*

Season 5 Tidbits

Link via Fark. Won't comment in case people are worried about spoilers, although I can tell you it's not much (and may not be accurate, though it's supposed to come from Darlton).

Not to mention, with only 32 episodes to go, you know we're going to be getting heavy doses of plot and mythology. Seven more weeks! :)
