Lusting for Lost

How awesome was last week’s fourth season premiere of TV’s Lost?

I loved it so much I’m frakkin’ lusting for more, so it’s a good thing tonight brings a brand new installment titled “Confirmed Dead.”

Gasp.

Firstly, though, last week’s Hurley-centric episode, aptly titled “The Beginning of the End,” meant the show was back (in more ways than one). Jorge Garcia, who plays Hurley, was just outstanding. Almost immediately, the show had us wondering: Just who are the “Oceanic Six”?

Secondly, having Lost back also meant I could sit back and enjoy the ride. There’s a clear path toward the end of the show (it is due to wrap up its mythology-heavy story in 2010). Questions will be answered because the creative team behind the show can map out how and when to do so at leisure.

That doesn’t me they won’t keep us guessing.

But I say we keep watching. New characters will be introduced tonight – and that can only spell drama.

And in the case of Lost, that’s a good, good thing.
