Lost Season Four has been a transformational season for the show. The show has a new vibe to it. A new feeling. I think the entire season of the show needs to be completed before we can judge it. Everything has changed from the show we have been watching for the past couple of years. When you watch something like The Sopranos everything stays the same. There are no flash-forwards or game changing plot twists. Lost has changed the show in every season, focusing on a new theme in each of them. However, this season not only changed the theme but the way the show is looked at as a whole. Nothing is certain anymore and its a very odd feeling. The introduction of the FF's has the shows writers "walking on thin ice". One mistake, any major mistake could provide a problem to the shows continuity. Through 8 episodes of season 4 I had 5 of the 8 episodes in my top 25 episodes of all time. Now only three remain. The feel is different as I have said 2-3 times all ready in this paragraph. Watching a season one episode for the first time and watching a season four episode for the first time are not the same. Its so hard to sit here and say that seaosn four is the best. According to my ratings, which I will also post in this blog, this season is so far the highest rated. But for some reason it doesnt feel like it. I dont know what it is about the season thats making me feel this way. The show has launched itself into a new era and its never going to look back. Episodes are more detailed with questions about the future rather then questions about the island. The flashbacks that we do have are interesting enough but they dont seem to fit with the seasons theme. When I watched S1-S3 episodes my rating on first watch held for my rewatches (FBYE being my exception) Season four has seen that pattern change, seeing an increase in ratings from 1st to 2nd viewing, but eventually settling somewhere in the middle. The island scenes have begun to lack and that needs to change in the second part of the season. The FF's are a great addition so far but the island scenes will always make the show what it is. Nothing backbreaking or gamechanging has happened on the island in a while and that needs to change. The preview makes it seem like that change is about to happen...

Welcome to the War, John.
