We have waited patiently.  We have watched the all of the Mobisodes.  We have played along with ‘Find 815’.  We have watched Season 3 again on DVD. Hell, we got so bored we even helped save the show ‘Jericho’.  But finally on Thursday January 31, 2008, the wait is over.  Lost is back. 

Wednesday’s episode “The Beginning of the End” will be the first time a new episode of Lost has aired since May of 2007.  When we learned that new episodes wouldn’t come until 2008, I remember thinking that the day would never come.  Well our patience has finally paid off.  Sorry if I sound repetitive, but Lost is back, and I couldn’t be happier. 

The season 4 preview (posted below) looks awesome.  All of our favorites are back and they look better than ever.  Locke is still scary looking and he has dire warnings about the new arrivals on the island.  Kate is still hot.  Jack is still hairy and he looks like he may have cried recently.  Hurley is still fat and Charlie is still dead (I think).

Even though the writer’s strike still threatens to shorten the season, I don’t care.  Tomorrow is they day we have all waited for and the critics seem to think that we have good reason to be excited.  E Television says the new episodes are ‘crazy good’.  TV guide has already said that the new episodes are ‘worth the wait’.  New cast additions include Jeff Fahey and Lance Reddick from HBO’s ‘The Wire’.  What does all of this mean for the upcoming season?  I have no idea, but it doesn’t matter.  TV’s most patient fans are about to be paid back in full.  Lost is back.  Get your popcorn ready.
