Since the calendar turned to 2009, television has been a
good friend to you, don’t you think? Think about this, last years writer strike
only gave about 8 new episodes at this point favorite shows … unless you’re a big
American Idol fan because it would take a cataclysmic event to stop that show…...
or Paula Abdul. Fan favorite 24 didn’t even
get one episode in .. (as Jack Bauer would say…. Damnit!) That is in the past
and now my DVR is loaded with shows like 24, Nip/Tuck, Chuck, Scrubs, CSI, and
yes…. American Idol. Tonight marks the date that I have had circled on my calendar
since November … LOST returns with a 3 hour event tonight.
LOST, one of the most talked about shows in recent history, comes
back for its 5th season and there are answers on the horizon. If you’re
as big a LOST fan as I am you have been anticipating this day like a child waiting
for Christmas. Here are a few things the producers have told us to expect this
season:
Season 5 will have at least 16 episodesClaire will not be in this season, but will return for the
final season
The Oceanic Six will attempt to get back to the island, but
others must go with them…
We will learn about Danielle Rousseau’s past
We will see at least 6 dead characters return
At least one character will be killed this season
We will learn the fate of those on the freighter that exploded in the finale
Locke will not be in the first handful of episodes
OOOO and most important many mysteries will finally be revealed…
Take that list with a grain of salt because the producers of
this show are as mysterious as the show itself.
LOST has always used music intelligently in the show. Mama
Cass’s “Make Your Own Kind of Music” in the season 2 premiere when we learned
what was in the mysterious hatch.
Petula Clark’s “Downtown” in season 3 premiere in the scene
where we saw the plane crash…
They also used Radio 929 favorite Nirvana’s “Scentless Apprentice”
when we learned about the flash forwards
Now heading into season 5 they are using music to promote the show using The Fray’s “You Found
Me”
We are just a few hours away from seeing what I am sure will
be water cooler talk for the next week.
Namaste
