One month from today, the sixth and final season of Lost begins. Having just completed our annual re-viewing of the previous season on DVD, let me just say that Season Five set a very high bar. There was so much going on there in general, but the addition of Jacob and the "man in black" as active participants in that season finale... Wow.
It's rumoured that the 2010 version of Lost will bring a new dimension to the program just as the flash forwards did at the end of Season Three and the time travel did throughout Season Five. I'm not sure how they'll be able to pull that off, but then again: I'd never have guessed that several of the castaways would go skipping through time for most of a season, either! Since we were left with a potentially history-changing hydrogen bomb detonation back in May, I suppose we could end up seeing different, parallel timeline events occurring. I kind of doubt it, since that wouldn't leave much room for wrapping up some of the larger mysteries. At the very least, we have to find out why Richard Alpert doesn't age, what the Dharma Initiative was really up to, and just what Jacob and his nemesis are fighting about (through their human pawns). And who really are the good guys in this, or is that a concept that doesn't even make any sense in the grand scheme of Lost?
As usual, though, I can hardly wait to find out what the creators have up their sleeves.
