So we’re 4 episodes into the 4th season of Lost with only 30 more episodes remaining. Any suggestion the trailers gave us that the answers were coming have only been met with more questions. Most of these came in the last episode.

So is Gin not dead?

When and who are the people who in the rafts?

What is making the light flash?

And where exactly is the island now?

The more I think about it the more questions I have and the more things I remember happening in previous series that just seem to have been forgotten about. I remember watching Alias, another show from JJ Abrams and there being a big thing about the continuity. I’m hoping that this hasn’t been abandoned for Lost and that there is one story line and the questions will be answered.

My gut feeling is that all the questions will not get answered. Things from the first 2 series will just be left for you to wonder about and it will wrap up what is happening now and maybe the odd other tie in will answer some other questions.

Lets hope we get some answeres soon but the series is pretty good at the minute.

Lost Season 5 is sure to be a big hit with many fans, I for one will definitely be tuning in to see the first episode expected to air on 2 January 2009. With so many questions still unanswered have things got out of hand?

Personally I think that if you want an answer to everything the show has thrown open you will be disappointed. I’m not sure on how many series have been agreed but I would be surprised if this was not the penultimate season. I know the creators will keep it coming for as long as its profitable but this season and 1 more would probably do it for me. Most of the cast can probably get lead roles in other TV shows and some even in movies. I’ll be interested to see which way JJ takes it this season.

Any lost fans out there with theories for the new season?
