            <title>&quot;Cabin Fever&quot; Poll and Review</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://lost.cubit.net/images/index/covers/claire.jpg"><img alt="claire.jpg" src="http://lost.cubit.net/images/index/covers/claire-thumb-120x77.jpg" width="120" height="77" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" /></a></span><p>Sledgeweb users loved "Cabin Fever" giving it the highest rating of season 4. The SWLS faithful graced episode 4x11 with an 8.94 rating beating the next highest episode by  just over a quarter of a point. An astonishing 92% gave "Cabin Fever" a rating of 8 or higher. There were 3 votes of 6 or lower and we will address those later in this article. The high rating of this episode got me wondering about which episodes were most liked by the users. The following is a numerical order of average rating of each episode.

       #1 Cabin Fever                8.94
       #2 The Constant              8.68
       #3  Confirmed Dead         8.57
       #4  Shape of Things         8.47
       #5  Beggining of the End  8.46
       #6  The Economist           8.37
       #7 Ji Yeon                        8.06
       #8  Meet Kevin Johnson   7.54
       #9  Eggtown                     7.25
       #10 Something Nice         7.04
       #11 Other Woman            6.76

It is obvious that SWLS users enjoy episodes that center on the mythology of the island and the more science fiction aspects of the shows. They enjoy episodes that contain many questions and not a lot of answers. Our posters  do not enjoy the romantic episodes nearly as much. Lets see why our users liked "Cabin Fever" with such a passion.</p>]]></description>

            <title>Episode Review: 4x11 Cabin Fever</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://lost.cubit.net/LockeAt5.php" onclick="window.open('http://lost.cubit.net/LockeAt5.php','popup','width=123,height=120,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img src="http://lost.cubit.net/LockeAt5-thumb-120x117.jpg" width="120" height="117" alt="LockeAt5.jpg" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" /></a></span>This was a very exciting episode. It had so many of the classic Lost elements: Locke on a journey towards destiny, Sayid taking things into his own hands, bad guys doing bad things, Ben being creepy, Hurley with all the good lines! Not a lot of romance but they gave us a double dose of that last week, so we were all set in that department.  As always they gave us a few answers and a whole lot of new questions. Many people felt that the show was choppy. It is very obvious that these post-strike episodes are making up for lost time by packing a lot of action and information into a what little time they have remaining. I am okay with this. I have been frustrated by enough episodes that seemed to drag on and on that I will now take a condensed, choppy version and I will savor every fast-paced moment of it. </p>

            <title>Remaining &quot;Lost&quot; Seasons Extended by 2 Hours</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://lost.cubit.net/images/index/covers/Lost.php" onclick="window.open('http://lost.cubit.net/images/index/covers/Lost.php','popup','width=180,height=137,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img src="http://lost.cubit.net/images/index/covers/Lost-thumb-120x91.jpg" width="120" height="91" alt="Lost.jpg" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" /></a></span><p>By James Hibberd Fri May 9, 1:34 AM ET 
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - ABC has found more hours for the final two seasons of "Lost." The 2009 and 2010 editions of the hit drama will be 17 hours each -- not 16, as previously planned. </p><p>
ABC has added two hours to the show's production plan because the Writers Guild of America strike knocked three hours out of the current season. To partly compensate, the network recently added an additional hour to Part 2 of the season finale that airs May 29. </p><p>
All told, the changes will wrap up the show with the same number of episodes that producers and ABC negotiated last year. </p><p>
"We were supposed to do 16-16-16," "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof said. "But we ended up doing 14 this season, so we owe two." </p><p>
Lindelof, however, ruled out the idea that the show might extend beyond the remaining 34-episode order. </p>

            <title>4x11: ... but choose wisely.</title>

This sort of test is used to pick a new Dali Lama when the current one dies. Is John Locke a reincarnation of sorts of the island, or Jacob? Perhaps his quest to find Jacob is sort of like Leroy Green's quest to find The Master in "The Last Dragon"? Sho' nuff! Locke fails the test when he picks the knife as being one of the objects he already owns. Other items present include a comic book, Book of Laws, a compass, and a vial with a coarse sand-like material.</p>]]></description>

            <title>Episode 4x11, &quot;Cabin Fever&quot;</title>
            <description><![CDATA[ <p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://lost.cubit.net/images/index/covers/4x11_cover.jpg"><img alt="4x11_cover.jpg" src="http://lost.cubit.net/images/index/covers/4x11_cover-thumb-120x86.jpg" width="120" height="86" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" /></a></span>"I've got a fever, and the prescription is more cabin!" That's probably not how tonight's episode will start, but the fact that the enigmatic cabin is mentioned in the title has LOST fans in eager anticipation of tonight's Locke-centric offering, "Cabin Fever". The pace of the season slowed down with last week's more soap-operish "Something Nice Back Home", but it looks like that may have only been the calm before the storm. "Cabin Fever" looks to deliver for mythology fans tonight on ABC. Last week we found out that Locke and Ben plan to utilize Hurley to find the disappearing cabin, and that plan goes into action in the eleventh episode of the fourth season of LOST. We've previously learned that Ben can use an ancient cave to summon up the Smoke Monster - does that have anything to do with Jacob and his creepy cabin? Who or what exactly is Jacob, and what is his/its relationship to the island? Perhaps tonight's episode will shed some light on those matters. Locke episodes usually deliver, and this one must be super intense, because it's taking three different actors to play the role of John Locke, in an episode that sees a return to the flashbacks of previous seasons (rather than flash forwards).</p>]]></description>

            <title>Jack and Kate Are Fate by Laklost</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://lost.cubit.net/images/index/covers/JATE.php" onclick="window.open('http://lost.cubit.net/images/index/covers/JATE.php','popup','width=399,height=224,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img src="http://lost.cubit.net/images/index/covers/JATE-thumb-120x67.jpg" width="120" height="67" alt="JATE.jpg" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" /></a></span><p>
Lost is barreling down the tracks right now. In the way that Ben and Widmore have been set up as the two main power-brokers, Jack and Kate have been set up as the two main lovers.  The series is past the "marketing test" stage regarding who should hook up with whom or who has the better chemistry.  The story is at the crux of the matters that will have to be solved in order for the heroes to be victorious and the nemeses to be vanquished.  The island is clearly calling its troops to battle, and it's calling Jack and Kate.  Whether or not they are able to answer this call might very well seal the fate of "every living person" in the story. </p><p>

The end of the first episode of Lost ("Tabula Rasa") was a montage of the characters to the song "Washed Away" by Joe Purdy.  In it every character was resolved, in relationship and at rights.  Watching over the characters was the vigilant eye of John Locke who has been asked for help by the island, the Others and Jacob himself.  Together on the beach sat Jack and Kate.  To her he had just declared, "Everyone gets a chance to start again."  And since then many characters have quite literally begun their lives over:  Locke as a hunter, Sawyer as a hero, Jin as a loving husband, Sun as a trusting wife, Sayid as a repentant torturer, and Hurley as a man who can beat his own luck.  Kate has changed quite dramatically and we've seen her in the future as a responsible mother and forgiven fugitive.  One man has not changed: Jack Shephard. To him his dead father has appeared both on and off the island.  To him Locke has declared that he is a man of science without faith or trust.  To him Achara cursed his fate as a great man and leader.  He has tried to be that great leader, but he has failed because of his neurotic need to be the savior.  By the time he is settled with Kate in "Something Nice Back Home" 4x10 he has not changed.  By the later action at the end of "Through the Looking Glass" 3x22 he has not changed.  But by that point he recognizes his destiny - to go back to the island with Kate, and very likely the other Oceanic Six. </p>

            <title>Segment Ratings for &quot;Something Nice Back Home&quot;</title>
            <description><![CDATA[ <p>I must admit, I didn't have high hopes for "Something Nice Back Home". First of all, it was a Jack-centric episode, which are hit or miss (usually miss for me). Secondly, it was following a fairly action and mythology packed episode, "The Shape of Things to Come".  A recurring pattern in LOST is that these intense episodes are often followed by slower character-driven episodes - which I do think are important to balance out the series, but they usually are not my favorite episodes. Let's examine how SWLS users scored the segments of "Something Nice Back Home". Details after the jump.</p>]]></description>
