While I'm working on fun technical stuff...

...I found two interesting articles this weekend to share with you.

The first is not spoiler-y, but has me pretty excited. And not just because of the picture of Evangeline Lilly ; )

Evangeline Asks Fans To Be Patient

The key quote:

...the first half is very complicated… It’s like a puzzle...

The second, compliments of Doc Arzt, is kind of a spoiler; it gives a rundown of the first two episodes but without any specific details. In my opinion, it's definitely on the borderline between "just enough to not ruin anything" and "spoiler alert!" - it all depends on your comfort level with spoilers. If you completely, totally avoid all spoilers at all costs, read at your own risk.

Doc Arzt Reviews "Because You Left" and "The Lie"

If you are of the "spoilers are the devil" set, then Doc Arzt, the author of the article, gives a pretty good spoiler-free summary:

It’s hard after four seasons to stir the coals and try to find the same white-hot flame that Lost burned in season one. It would be cliche to say Lost has returned to form, or is continuing to live up to its own impossibly high standards-we hear these things all the time. At this point, it seems enough to say that I went into it full-out excited, and came out full-out satisfied. Things happened I absolutely did not expect, and the fog of between season speculation cleared in a way that was enlightening to how wrong we fans can be sometimes, and how brilliant the writers can be at out-guessing us. Lost still has it.
