The wait is finally over. After months of killing time by analyzing our DVDs, obsessing over Find815.com, and listening to all of the official Lost podcasts for the eleventh time, the show itself is back. Lost kicked off season 4 tonight with a fantastic episode, entitled "The Beginning of the End."
When we last left the castaways, tensions were at an all time high. Ben was captured by Jack and the gang, and was insisting that everyone on the island would die if Jack phoned for help. Locke also tried to stop him by knifing Naomi, but Jack was determined. He dialed out and reached a freighter, not knowing that the people on the boat were not connected to Penny Widmore. Tonight, as the Losties waited for those mysterious "rescuers" to arrive, all sorts of hell started to break loose.

One of the great things about Lost is how it often forces you to ponder the moral decisions of the characters. How would you react if you had to sacrifice yourself to save your friends, or if you had a potential Other tied up in a hatch? Now you can answer some of these tough questions thanks to a new quiz entitled "What Is Your Fate on Lost?" It’s a fun way to pass the time until tonight’s season 4 premiere, and it’ll even tell you what your ultimate fate would be if you were trapped on the island. Would you get rescued? Would you die? Would you turn evil? Play the game and find out for yourself.

Shows that have aired in the time slot following Lost have generally not had an easy time of it. Anyone remember Invasion? I only remember it thanks to the annoying barrage of commercials where the little girl told her mommy that she smelled like an alien. The latest series that is trying to springboard off Lost’s success is Eli Stone, the new Ally McBeal meets Touched By An Angel comedy/drama produced by Greg Berlanti. This time, ABC is promising viewers some sort of Lost clue if they stay tuned throughout the series premiere.

The final entry in our series of Lost on-set interviews is with Josh Holloway. As bad boy con artist Sawyer, he’s the guy some fans love to hate, and other fans just love. Sawyer has made quite the journey over the first three seasons, making enemies, possibly finding love with Kate, and exacting revenge on the man who he deemed responsible for the death of his parents. What does season 4 of Lost have in store for Sawyer?
On his set visit to Hawaii, DocArzt sat down with the charming Southern boy to learn his thoughts on where his character is going in the new season.

Have they saved the best for last? The thirteenth and final Lost mobisode was released this week, and it’s absolutely fantastic. The episode is entitled "So It Begins," and gives us a dog’s eye view of the island just a few moments before the beginning of the pilot episode. Yes, all of us who have wanted to see more of Vincent’s experiences on the island have finally gotten our wish. This final missing piece was written by Drew Goddard, and it’s a great way to lead us into the premiere of season 4.

There are a lot of Lost parodies to be found on the internet, and some are more successful than others. One of the funnier ones I’ve seen is this clip created by Benny and Rafi Fine, which uses the Lost action figures to great effect. Check out the video below, and if you have a desire to see more videos from The Fine Brothers, you can visit them over at RavenStake.com.
I’m telling you, Hurley’s reveal is priceless.

What ever happened to VH1’s Pop-Up Video? That show seemed to have such a short shelf life, yet it was endlessly fun to watch music videos while minutiae about the artist or song popped up on the screen. How else would I have learned about the behind the scenes antics that took place while Michael Jackson filmed the video for "Bad"?

Less than a week! Less than a week! It’s a bit surreal, isn’t it? In this current strike-induced wasteland of network television, it’s been a long while since I’ve been truly excited about any episodes of anything. Today, we’re taking a look at two of the last five episodes, both quite good, but one clearly better than the other. Whenever Sawyer cold-bloodedly murders someone, the Lost writers are doing something right.

This week, we unveil DocArzt’s interview with Jorge Garcia, the lovable Hurley. Much like last week’s interview with Michael Emerson, the Doc got the opportunity to speak to Garcia face-to-face during his October Lost set visit in Hawaii.

This week’s Lost mobisode, written by co-creators J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, is a terrible tease. It gets you all pumped up for an exciting reveal and then abruptly ends. The episode is entitled "The Envelope," and it appears that it could be a deleted scene from the season 3 premiere instead of an original mobisode. It starts with Juliet preparing for her book club gathering, and after her first guest shows up things take a turn for the cryptic and the mysterious.
