So any news on Lost Season 4?

Wow, the Lost forum is empty.

Anyway, is there any news yet on Season 4 of Lost? Since it's the end of Septemvber and news start sprouting around here, then there has to be something on Lost?

I CANNOT wait for new eps!!!

Of course, I get all my spoiler info from spoilerfix.com, DarkUFO and The Fuselage. We actually know a good amount of stuff so far so I recommend checking those out.

One big piece of casting info that

Spoiler:

Harold Perrineau (Michael) is returning to being a regular cast member. And also, that Cynthia Watros (Libby) will appear in a few episodes as well.

Also, it seems that the first episode is going to be focused on several characters instead of the usual one. Whether these will be flashbacks, flash-forwards or both is still unknown.

From what I read on wikipedia, though, it's not back 'til Feb... you can find out what I read here. I think it's kinda cool that they have it all figured out, but too bad it doesn't start with the rest of the shows this September.

I can't wait for the new SEason!!! It seems like eternity!!! Wish they would have at least released the DVD earlier than December...

First Epi was initially thought to be Sawyer-centric but will be Multi-cast centric!!

I'm very intrigued about the flash-forwards!! I hope they make them where we're not quite sure what we're seeing!! I think that would be really cool!

There are some really interesting new cast members!! Jeremy Davies is one I'm really looking forward to seeing! He is a favorite of mine!!

Of course - I'm just read to see me some James... For Josh watchers his movie "Whisper" is out November 27th!!!

Right. We've known this for awhile. There will be three more seasons, each with 16 episodes, and each will begin in February and run through May without repeats.

The two downsides are we have to wait till February every year and that we won't know the end game until 2010!!! It seems so far away! ACK!

Oh, absolutely. But I really appreciate the advantage of a series that knows what it's doing, rather than one that faces cancellation each year, and therefore has to maybe suddenly wrap up ten storylines in two eps, a la Angel season five, where I think Joss was ready to do season six...

[Jenni Lou]

I absolutely agree. It was really frustrating to the producers that they didn't have an end date; they didn't want to just draw the story because the network wanted to continue the series for an indeterminate time.

It's never been in danger of cancellation. In fact, I think this is one of those rare instances in television where the network would not cancel until a proper ending could be made; the fanbase is fanatical and the show has such a cult status. I don't think they could afford to cancel it without financial repercussions. So much has been made about the series in the press regarding the central mysteries of the island. Some of the questions just have to be answered.

But I know the producers are thrilled to have an end date. They had been trying to negotiate one for awhile. This way they are able to map out the remaining 48 episodes and get all the information out to adequately tell and end their story without all the filler episodes. Each episode has the potential to be mind blowing now!!! I CANNOT WAIT!!!! ARGH!!! Feels so far still.

2010 would probabbly come by, 2007 seems to have flown by like a bird (But I am out of school probably why it feels so fast).

Anyways, I do wonder what the finale will hold for us? And let's hope it keeps the hype up
Vereka- I agree, even Australia hasn't gotten it yet (Whereas we are fast tracking to Hereos and may be only one episode behind instwead of like 7, unforently we are a season behind on Smallville)
