Jeff Jensen Returns!

Well Losties, it's only 6 months until the return of our obsession. 6 months! Shit.

But in the meantime, exciting things are happening. The announcement of Michael's return to the show definitely re-energized some (like me, who feel as though Michael has 1995 Nebraska Cornhusker Football-style "Unfinished Business"), and this week marks the beginning of filming for season 4. What's nice is that because this is only a spring-run, 16-episode season, they'll have most of the episodes in the can by the time of the season premiere. All of this is good, trust me, because it gives the writers/producers great freedom in telling their story completely, coherently and in the manner they wish. And that translates to a better product. So I'm excited.

To tide you over, though, Jeff Jensen has two great new articles on ew.com. Here are links to both.

A Q&A with Harold Perrineau (Michael) on his return to the show, and his interesting thoughts on Season 3.

Doc Jensen's mid-summer analysis of Season 3 and a look ahead to Season 4 (no spoilers). Also some great new theories and recognitions of literary allusions. Brilliant bastard.

Namaste.
