Though I must admit I rarely watch them, I can understand the appeal of ABC's Lost recap specials.  They get new viewers up to speed and serve as a nice reminder of all that has happened for the rest of us.  However, I've noticed that the network always tries to pretend that big secrets will be unveiled in these recap specials, and that's never the case.  I think we all know that's just promotional spin at this point, and that the real drama is going to unfold on the show itself.

That aside, ABC will be airing a one-hour recap special before the Lost season 4 premiere entitled  "Lost: Past, Present & Future."  It will air Thursday, January 31 at 8pm, and the network promises that "the special will take an in-depth look at the mysteries of both the island and its inhabitants and recap the secrets that have been revealed, as well as those that remain unanswered."

If you need a refresher on the complicated Lost mythology, I recommend checking it out.  Otherwise you should spend that hour baking some Dharma cookies and preparing for a big Lost premiere party at 9pm.
