New Pictures From the Season 4 Premiere
It’s been a holiday season full of wonderful gifts for Lost fans, with ABC releasing the return date for the series, two ridiculously awesome trailers, and now a batch of promotional photos from the first episode of season four. The episode, entitled "The Beginning of the End," is set to air on January 31, and while these new photos don’t give too much away, there’s certainly enough here to set our minds spinning.
Alex and Karl enjoying their reunion. Let’s hope there’s not another Clockwork Orange style torture session in store for Karl.
Is it just me, or is Desmond looking a bit more buff this season? He also seems somewhat bemused, despite the fact that he’s holding a gun.
The gang’s all here, but it looks like Locke and Sawyer may be ready to have a war of words.
Sun and Claire attend to poor Turniphead, who is now without a father figure.
Jack and Kate share a tender moment. Since Jack still has the walkie talkie in his hand, I’m assuming this is before the rescuers come to the island.
It’s always good to see Rose again, and I’m hoping she’ll get more screen time this season.
Rousseau has Ben all tied up. I’m sure he’ll be doing his best to mess with the characters psychologically, even if he is tied to a tree.
Claire stands in front of a bunch of very happy looking extras. My guess is that they see rescue on the way.
Much like the picture of Rose, I hope this photo of Sayid is an indication that he’ll be getting more screen time in season four.
Michael! It’s great to see our first image of Harold Perrineau from the new season.

That photo of Desmond is what got me, are these photos really all from the premiere? I just don’t know how Desmond could get from being in the Looking Glass to the cockpit of the plane in one episode? Or maybe they just sped things up. Either way I wonder what he’s looking at, it could be the rescuers considering in the trailer see everyone standing around the cockpit and then a helicopter landing.

i’m going to lay down an early guess that michael has been replaced, doppleganged.

Desmond is finally realizing that he will survive to Season 5.

James,Why not?
Comment by IWalkAlone — December 21, 2007 @ 3:55 pm
so by looking at the last picture, I guess Mr. Eko is back?
Comment by hahah — December 21, 2007 @ 8:21 pm
Anyone notice that Adawale (Mr. Eko) just signed on for the 2009 movie version of G.I. Joe? The dork in me is pretty pumped about that.
As far as the pictures, here is what confuses me:
Desmond standing in front of a crashed (note the vines) Oceanic plane.
Sayid, Bernard, and bitch standing in front of a crashed Oceanic plane. (Clearly it’s laying on the ground, assumedly it’s the same one.)
What plane are they standing in front of?!?!?! As I remember it…
1) 815’s cockpit is deep in the forest, at a huge slanted angle resting half in a tree, and not shaped like this.
2) 815’s fuselage has been burned with bodies in it and what was not burned is a very small piece which has been stripped for everything from shelter to wires for last season’s finale’s bombs. Also, the remaining chunk is on the beach, not in the forest as these two pics clearly are.
3) 815’s tailsection is far away, in much worse shape, landed in water last I knew (meaning at most it could have washed up on the beach, not in the forest), and… well.. it’s a tailsection, not a body like in these pics.
So am I missing something?!?!? What plane is this???

It’s obviously the cockpit as you can see in the trailer they put out, it’s been over three months so seeing vines on it is no surprise. And it WAS at an angle deep in the jungle until it fell down flat after the monster attacked the pilot. It has the giant “O” on the side, go back and watch the Pilot episode. Did you really think they’d put in a different plane? Us Lost fans would notice immediately if anything was at all off.

I love how Rosseou is looking all proud she caught Ben again, haha. And Michael’s back with a nice new haircut.

Bye TailSection. Been fun. Your 3-strikes and your out re: “too many posts” rule (When did that start?) is insane. I am no new-bee. In my opinion you need all the positive posts you can get. I offered them and am now silenced. Not worth my time. So sad.

this site has sucked for a while though. The last month or so that the doc was here and certainly afterward. These goons couldn’t dig a scoop with a shovel
Comment by David — December 23, 2007 @ 3:57 pm
I have been an avid reader here at thetailsection.com for at least half a year now and I have never posted a comment until today. I’ve seen how things ran while DOC ARTZ was still 100% in charge… I kept up while doc was transitioning out, and I still read what is posted even tho he has a limited role. (And mind you, I also check DARKUFO from time to time…)
And I am bothered by the people who find it so necessary to piss and moan about nearly all the articles and speculations that are recently posted at thetailsection. Yes there are new people involved, yes, some of them are admittedly less super-fans of LOST than Doc Artz is, and yes, there are obvious links and ties to BuddyTV… but so what?? This is a fan sit for a televisions show… enjoy it… chime in about topics… speculate… and have fun. You are not a paid member, you can look elsewhere on the net for LOST news if you are disappointed with the current feel of TTS, and yes, you can grumble and groan about the quality of the content here… but jeez, no matter what, THIS IS A WEBSITE… not a bible… not the center of your universe.
Don, or Jon K, or anyone else who upkeep this site are just trying there best. Are they super, super great at this?? Nope. Was Doc Artz a master of web-skill and LOST info? Nope.
No one is… no one will be… but people make websites because they want to. And if you would like to try and fill their shoes… start your own LOST website, dig up your own scoops, and see how that goes.
Until then, keep slinging nasty comments in hopes of… well, in hopes of whatever you think it will accomplish.

What IS up with the “too many posts” thing, anyway??
Comment by Bill Toomi — December 23, 2007 @ 8:12 pm
I’ve seen the pic of Desmond at the cockpit before… a few weeks ago. Not the exact same pic, but one where he’s standing there with a couple of others, I think Bernard and Sayid. All of them had guns and it looked like they were guarding the cockpit.

matty, why are you so butt hurt? Do you hate America?
Comment by David — December 24, 2007 @ 8:16 am
Just a note did anyone mention that the season premier is going to be two hours ? Will we still get 8 episodes or will that make it seven ?
Comment by Gary — December 24, 2007 @ 11:04 am
Word, matty. A big giant WORD to that.
Comment by bek — December 24, 2007 @ 12:34 pm
Ill be suprised if anyone can read this, and that also means that I didnt get the “too many posts” message that ive gotten 20 times while trying to post this one message! someone really needs to fix that. Ive been wasting my time trying to post on here for hours and I keep getting told that Ive posted too many times, hey, guess what, I HAVENT POSTED AT ALL!!!
Gary^^^ the premier is only a one hour episode, i also read that there was talks of either a 2 hour premier or a one hour special before “The beginning of the end” episode, but it is only 1 hour. I woulda loved a 2 hour episode again!
Comment by Justin — December 24, 2007 @ 1:44 pm
Ive given up trying to post here. 1 in 50 comments get posted the other 49 times I get error message.
fix your site.
1) The comments are broken.
2) The RSS feed is brokem
3) Your popup adverts should be removed. Are you that desperate for money?
4) In fact take all your ads off until you get 1 and 2 fixed as your page hits are getting smaller and smaller when compared to dark’s homepage and spoiler page.

Justin - the eight minute recap on ABC.com states that the season premier will be two hours.
Comment by Gary — December 25, 2007 @ 4:14 pm
Michael just needs to die already. His character was annoying from the start. He was the show bully. And to whom ever think its in appropriate to criticize this show should leave that can of thinking at the church door where its completely expected of you to turn off your brain. If you want to worship something without thinking then visit any of the local churches that dot ever American street.

Chill out dude, why don’t you…
1) Use a new browser
2) Use Firefox and write a fix for YOUR problem
3) Buy a new computer
Actually don’t, because it doesn’t seem like you have much to bring to the mix. Running a site like this is massively consuming, especially on the time end. I don’t think this site “competes” per se with Dark’s site. Last time I checked, the only thing you got for being the biggest Lost site was some fake virtual trophy.
Not only that - doesn’t Dark have some ads too?
Why don’t you leave the negativity at the door, or go post on Dark’s site.

the rss is broken and i also have to submit my comments multiple time. I used firefox also.
Comment by xox — December 26, 2007 @ 7:53 am
I have been reading this site since it started. I even had it set as my homepage when my browser opened. I sadly part ways today. This site has fallen off big time. Peoples comments are still great but the stories are weak. I miss Doc. To all these people saying dont complain and give them a chance bla blah… well I did and the site is a shell of its former glory and if you really were a fan of the old website and Doc you would plainly see that. Please dont hate on me on any suck up to the host post. Im only tellin it like I see it.
Comment by Barf — December 26, 2007 @ 8:57 am
this site was once great, not bc of the posts, but bc of the people who posted. there no longer is LOST posts but mostly complaints. Stop ur bitching, nad post aa theory or an idea, or something other than a complaint. that way we can get back to what has made this show great: the fans’ interactions…. i remember capt10tripps and tabularusa, and co, etc all making this a great site. fuck the bs and lets get it back right
Comment by themachine — December 26, 2007 @ 11:30 pm
Lanelane, you’re right–Michael got a haircut. I guess that means he found his way to *some* sort of civilization before returning to the island.
Comment by Tim J. — December 27, 2007 @ 10:12 am
Gary, I would love it more than ANYONE that Lost is 2 hours, but i was just on the abcmedia site and checked Jan 31st programs listing and this is what they have:
8:00 PM-9:00 PM LOST: CLIP SHOW (WORKING TITLE)
9:00 PM-10:02 PM LOST
Not a 2 hour premier.
Comment by Justin — December 27, 2007 @ 3:54 pm
am I crazy or the water in the end title graphic shot from the new trailer is actually reflecting a city and not the island?
Comment by filippo — January 1, 2008 @ 6:06 am
I think Michael looks better than i have ever seen him. I am glad to see him return.(Although i am still pining for Mr Eko.) I know most people hate him, but as a parent, I can certainly see myself doing something like that if my child’s life depended on it.
He could have went about it different, but I just try and think of how crazed and panicked I would be if some crazy people were holding my child hostage. Sorry but Anna Lucia & Libby or anyone else for that matter would have been toast.
