All Bets Are Off!

After the first two episodes of Lost this season, it's apparent that many of the rules have changed. To wit:
  • Season Four didn't start, like the first three, with a close-up shot of an eye
  • Similarly, the new season didn't launch with a Jack spotlight as had been the tradition (we got Hurley instead) although Jack did appear in the flash forward segment of the season premiere
  • Tonight's episode also featured multiple backstories for the first time that I can recall, as we were introduced to four new characters (from the freighter) along with getting some more info about dead Naomi
  • The pace, at least through these initial two offerings, has been way faster than we've grown accustomed to (perhaps responding to fans' complaints about the pace)
I'm loving the new season so far!

I was actually left with a sense that I KNOW what Naomi and her crew are doing there...although, that's probably what the writer's want me to think!
