Oh yes. I think I'm gonna like it here.

Alrighty then. Let's start moving in some furniture so we'll have something to sit on.

following blatently taken from Lostpedia's Season 4 spoiling section, because I like the way it's organized -

Production

Schedule
5-29-07: from The Tail Section
Production will begin in mid-August and complete in March. That means that roughly 11-13 episodes will be completed by the time LOST airs.

Episode Format
5-17-07: from Lost: The Answers
The show will be taking a whole other direction and this was made clear by the last 5 minutes of Through The Looking Glass.

5-25-07: from AICN
It has been confirmed that Season 4 will contain flashbacks and flash-forwards.

5-29-07: from The Tail Section
Season Four's flash forward sequences are essentially a season-within-a-season. The particulars have not been planned but apparently they are looking at a mix of flash backs and flash words, with a larger number of flash forwards.
The flash forwards tell a linear story, but will be presented in non-linear format from the vantage point of different characters.

Guest star/recurring characters

Jacob
5-08-07: EW.com

Jacob is a question for season four.

Former cast

Walt and Michael
Watch with Kristin
Carlton Cuse: We will only go back to Walt and Michael once we have the sufficient knowledge to comprehend what the writers want to show us.
Cuse: There's a circularity to the way that story is going to unfold in the overall mythology, and that is a long, planned approach. Yes, we'll get back to the Michael and Walt story, and it will be really compelling when we do. But that's most likely a year 4 story.
5-03-06: Ask Ausiello
Lindelof and Cuse: "the growth of Malcolm David Kelly (Walt) will be addressed"
3-01-07: Watch with Kristin
Harold Perrineau is trying to figure out if he can get back next season and do other work as well
3-05-07: Lost Official Podcast
We will see more of Michael and Walt [Not just a cameo from the 3rd season finale]
4-30-07: Official Podcast
The Others targeted Walt because they are interested in children with special abilities. This will be explored in the next episodes.
5-29-07: Watch with Kristin
The producers have offered Harold Perrineau a return as regular star
Libby
11-15-06: Ask Ausiello
Lindelof: "We would love to tell the rest of Libby's story, it’s just a question of whether we get to it. I think we're going to try to tell the stories of our regular characters before we do that." Damon: "Obviously, we have a couple more beats of Libby’s story to tell to fill in the missing pieces, and the way we would tell that story is in the flashbacks of another character. But that character can’t be a character that we already know and love, otherwise they would recognize Libby. We know who those characters are and what those story beats are, but it might be a while before we get to their flashbacks."
Watch with Kristin
Cuse: Given everything else we have to tell, Libby’s story is going to be a mystery that's going to have to get answered in year 4. Lindelof: There's really one significant missing piece to Libby's story. How did she get from A to B—from Desmond to the mental institution? We know the answer to that question, but the only way to tell that story is through another character's flashback, and that character would have to be another character on the show who is not among the beach dwellers.

Well, I think I'm just gonna do all my spoiling in this thread, so I don't have to worry about whether I should be censoring myself or not.

In that vein, this is where I'll be looking for all the spoilers. I don't want to have to guess whether a piece of info falls into any particular definition.

I'm kinda anticipating that sometime before season 4 begins there be some new threads that I'll play in as well. In keeping with what Anti said in the first post of the spoiler-lite thread, I'm thinking we should have some media threads. Poscast, Kristin & Ausiello, Other media.

Til then, I'm hoping this thread will have a life of it's own and will flourish with or without without a sticky. Time will tell.
