Lost Season 4 Predictions
Well, less than a week until Lost starts - you know where I’ll be on Thursday night. In 2006 I made predictions of Season 3 (which you can read here) and some of those predictions where really accurate - some were way off… So I’m going to give it another shot. I’ve given up on actually calling what is going to happen. These predictions aren’t my beliefs but merely a “I hope”. So here we go:
Jack
I’ve always thought Jack was too much of a numbskull to be a doctor, hopefully in this season he’ll assert some of the same smarts that got him a PhD. I hope he bags Juliet, something tells me she’s going to die this season - and the women always die right before or after sex (Ana Lucia had sex with Sawyer, Shannon was jumping Sayid, and Libby was about to take the bounce with Hurley). We do know that Jack gets off the island and develops a painkiller habit so naturally he’d have to screw up big time in order to break him in the future. I think Ben was right, Jack is going to inadvertently kill a whole bunch of his people - or leave them in a perilous condition.
Locke
He’s going to be the other’s new leader - or at least be the leader of the group that wants to be on the island. He’s now acquired some God-like powers granted by the island, and will do the island’s bidding. I still think he’s the one in the coffin and that the series will end with him being taken from the island against his will. Either-way, hopefully we’ll see Jacob in this season and maybe Locke will, too. I just hope Locke stops being the mad bomber like he was in Season 3.
Kate
Kate is PREGGERS. If she is, then the rest of Lost will take place in less than nine months. Hopefully it will be a boy, and the child is who she is referring to in the finale as the one who is “wondering where I am” as she’s talking to doped-up “We have to go back” Jack. Sawyer will prove to be supportive and ultimately sacrificing his life for Kate and the baby - a call back to the “Tale of Two Cities” reference.
Charlie
Will appear as one of the island’s/monster’s forms. I don’t think the rest Charlie will exist though. He’s been sleeping with the fishes for quite some time. Hopefully, Claire will find his note “greatest hits” and his ring.
Hurley
He will make it off the island, but hopefully will have lost some weight - this unfortunately won’t be the case, as none of the recent pictures show him slimming down. This however leads to an interesting theory about whoever is “hushing” the survivors who make it off the island; what can you offer a millionaire to make him lie about what happened? Hurley is not the type to be swayed by money - so is he lying like Kate and Jack after they are “rescued”?
Michael
He’s on the freighter that Jack calls at the end of the finale. For some reason, Walt isn’t with him. He is going to either make amends for his murderous activities, or have some serious whoop-ass handed to him by Hurley.
Sawyer (now James)
Sawyer’s pretty much been castrated after killing his nemesis Cooper (”the Real Sawyer”). What other back stories will be told about him? The only question is how soon are the creators of Lost going to kill him off? Charlie kicked his demons (heroin) and now that James has exacted revenge, what’s left but to do one last noble thing and then die?
Sayid
Hopefully, Sayid will offer some better flashbacks (and flash-forwards) and step up as the Season’s action star. I wonder what’s the possibility of Nadia showing up on the island? Andrews is a great actor and I get weepy every time the dude sheds a tear.
Desmond
Well, first he’ll have to swim up from the Looking Glass station. Then he’ll have to race to inform everyone that it isn’t Penny’s boat. Where is Penny anyway? Why was she transmitting video to the Looking Glass Station? Charlie received an incoming transmission from her so wouldn’t that have to be a direct line broadcast? Unless she is nearby sending out a blanket transmission… I think the creators of Lost are setting up the biggest “Fuck you” in television. I think they’re are going to have Desmond and Penny almost meet before one of them dies.
More to come tomorrow…
