Hey Brian!!!
This season, hard as it's going to be, I'm going to try not to read your episode previews. They're wonderful, as always, but even just that little bit of guest casts and speculation gets me thinking all spoilery and takes away a bit from my viewing. We'll see how long I last, cuz your posts are so tempting!!
But that doesn't mean I won't be thinking about the episodes! I just finished rewatching Season 4 and i have so much in my head... I really can't imagine what direction they'll take us in first, and I *guarantee* I'm gonna be scratching my head over all the timeline stuff. As it is, the Oceanic 6 are now 3 years in the future, post-Island-moving, and who knows where/when the Island is. One thing I'm very interested to see is whether the Island folks ever know that the Oceanic 6 survived, or if they all think they died on the freighter. That could make a real difference in their motivations.
And, as we've already been discussing on the Gaga thread -- motivation shmotivaton if Sawyer stays shirtless!

(Hey, you did post that pic of Evangeline Lilly!)
I can't wait for us to all get back to that wholesome Lostie goodness we all love!
