The ODI

Hey Losties,
So we are about two weeks into the mini-hiatus in between Season 4 of LOST. If you do not know yet, episode 9 is scheduled to air April 24th at 10PM and we will get 4 more episodes for a total of 13 episodes in Season 4.

Now many of you out there have loved the first 8 episodes (myself included), while many are still complaining about a lack of answers. Also, one of the best episodes of the whole series (The Constant - 4x05) was apart of this first part of Season 4 and yet some hated it.

Well Doc Jensen from EW has posted his Report Card for these first 8 episodes of Season 4 and ONLY the much hated Juliet centric episode The Other Woman received lower than a B. So I would say that he feels this season is doing pretty well.

What do you think?

Below are the grades he gave each episode and his reasons why.

As always thanks for stopping by and namaste.

THE LOST MIDSEASON REPORT CARD
Grading the first eight episodes of Lost's fourth season.

4.01 ''The Beginning of the End''
Flash-forward Hurley! Ghost Charlie! Oceanic 6! Christian rocking in Jacob's hizzy!
Grade: A

4.02 ''Confirmed Dead''
The best introduction of new characters ever. Miles Straume's ghostbusting scene, the revelation of a Hydra polar bear in Tunisia, and the discovery of Oceanic 815 wreckage at the bottom of the ocean rank among Lost's greatest WTF?! Moments.
Grade: A

4.03 ''The Economist''
Sayid is born again — Jason Bourne'd, that is — as an off-Island assassin for Ben in the flash-forward future. Not since Martha Stewart got out of jail has there been more watercooler discussion about a bracelet.
Grade: A-

4.04 ''Eggtown''
The flash-forward Kate stuff was nifty and the Aaron reveal was buzzworthy. The Island stuff laid an egg for me, but the Miles/Ben/Locke triangle, culminating with the grenade-in-the-mouth bit, was explosive.
Grade: B

4.05 ''The Constant''
Lost lets its geek flag fly — and opens its heart — with Desmond's narratively trippy, deeply romantic time-travel episode. Best Lost episode ever? Debate.
Grade: A+

4.06 ''The Other Woman''
Juliet's third flashback episode. The only true dud of the season, although coming after ''The Constant'' did it no favors.
Grade: C-

4.07 ''Ji Yeon''
The Jin/Sun flashback/flash-forward was loved by some, resented by others for its twisty-or-gimmicky trickery. It worked for me.
Grade: B+

4.08 ''Meet Kevin Johnson''
I'm giving this one a solid, sturdy B. Since I didn't recap, I owe you a more detailed explanation....

Hey Losties,
I know we are only 8 episode into season 4 of LOST and we still have 5 more to go starting April 24th, but I thought we should take this opportunity to really see how fans acrross the world felt about these first set of episodes in season 4.

Now I know most of us have the Desmond Centric "flash" episode The Constant some where on our Best of All-Time lists and it was most likely the best episode so far. However, this season has been filled with some great moments all around, so besides The Constant which episode was the best?

Here is a little review of each episode followed by the poll:

The Beginning of the End (Hurley FF) - Which showed us Hurley talking with a "Dead but Here" Charlie and gave us the mystery of who were the "Oceanic 6"??

Confirmed Dead (Freighter People Multi-Centric FB) - This episode provided us with a little back story for each of the "boaties" while learning that they were sent by the mysterious Abbadon.

The Economist (Sayid FF) - This one was one of my favorite episodes this season and it gave us a whole new look at Sayid as a Hitman for Ben post-island!! Plus, we get our first confirmation that time off and on island do not match up.

Eggtown (Kate FF) - Not too many fans cared for Kate's trial. However, the big reveal that she had a son and that it was Claire's baby, Aaron, is one of the biggest shocks of the season.

The Other Woman (Juliet FB) - One of the most hated episodes in a long time had some interesting reveals. The Juliet episode gave us more of an insight on Ben and his obsession with Juliet than Juliet's past, but we ALSO learn Ben sent Goodwin to get killed, that Widmore is behind the freighter and that the Tempest hatch powers the island.

Ji Yeon (Sun/Jin FF/FB) - The actual off-island FF/FB revealed very little info until the ending shocker that there is a tombstone for Jin, opening a huge debate among fans, whether Jin was alive or not and confirming that Aaron was indeed a member of the Oceanic 6. Also,how can we forget the NOT so shocking return of Michael as Kevin Johnson.

Meet Kevin Johnson (Michael FB) - This was a unique episode with practically the whole episode taking place off-island and during Michael's back story. We learned that Ben sent Tom to recruit Michael and Tom finds Michael off-island in NYC trying to kill himself out of guilt!? In a crazy twist the episode and first part of the season ends with BOTH Karl and Danielle getting shot!!

So what do you think was the best episode?? Voice your opinions below and vote!!

Hey All,
Sorry for the delay in this week's podcast, but my partner in crime Ronald was sick and lost his voice, so we were trying to wait as long as possible to see if he was able to get better, but unfortunately his voice was still not 100%. Sooo this week you all get me in a solo podcast and it is a little shorter.

I know it is not as entertaining without the interaction with Ronald, but I still wanted to provide you all with a quick recap of Episode 4x03 The Economist because it was such a great episode and had a wonderful ending with the reveal of Ben being Sayid's boss.

Plus, I wanted to provide you all with a little Season 4 Production and Schedule update and mention the Radio Interview I will be conduction on the Shannon Burke Show Friday morning at 10AM PST.

Also, as always there is a little preview of this week's episode. The preview for Episode 4x04 does contains some spoilers and they begin at about the 2 minute mark of Clip 3.

As always thanks for stopping by and listening.

Well one of the central characters that we did not even meet in this past week's episode of LOST Season 4 Episode 3 (The Economist) was Elsa's boss, the "economist".

Now some have suggested it could be anyone, perhaps just a random person on Sayid's (Naveen Andrews) hit list that is irrelevant or perhaps a main off-island character with money like Widmore or Hanso.

So what do you think?? Who is the Economist?? Please feel free to also leave a comment below.

Enjoy and namaste.

Hey Losties,
So are your brain cells fried from this season yet...!?

Well last night's episode of LOST (Season 4 Episode 3) The Economist had one of the more shocking reveals ever and probably the first big one of this season.

Every time I think LOST has out done itself they drop another bomb on us.

Seeing Sayid (Naveen Andrews) working as a hitman in a FF and then finally finding out who he is working for, good ole Ben Linus (Michael Emerson) was just fantastic.

Well if you are still amazed or just want to watch this scene again, well here you go.

Enjoy and Namaste.

Thanks to Sawyer840 for the clip.
