It’s finally here, yesterday Americans tuned in to watch the fourth season premiere of Lost, and early this morning I tuned in to download 1,1 GB of High Definition awesomeness. We’re a group of Lost geeks here on the school, so we all settled in to watch the episode on the school’s 50-something-inches TV.

Spoilers ahead. First of all, it was awesome to see all the characters again, the first episode centers around Hurley and takes off where the third season ended, although now the flashbacks are flashforwards to a future when some of the survivors (Jack, Kate and Hurley for sure, apparently there are three more) are back in the real world. Hurley sees Charlie in the future, and he tells him that "they need him", so there are possibly still people on the island, probably with Locke. On the island, in the main storyline, people start disagreeing on whether or not Naomi’s people are coming to rescue or harm them, the group split and in a flashforward Hurley tells Jack that he wished he hadn’t gone with Locke, meaning the people coming may not have been as bad as Locke thought.

It seems like the season’s flashforwards will lead up to the one with Jack from the third season, where’s he all depressed and suicidal (in this episode Hurley wants to go back, Jack won’t, and he talks about growing a beard), and then the next season may be about them returning to the island. This sucks a bit, because it seems like filler, but on the other hand, there are only 16 episodes in the season. Anyway, looking forward to next friday!
