Talk:Season 4

Why can't we create a locked page on Season 4? Princess Dharma (banned)

You're right, I'll change the template since we are starting to add some content. The page does need to remain locked.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 10:43, 7 March 2007 (PST)

Can we at least put on this page that Season 4 has been confirmed? --Blueeagleislander 00:56, 8 March 2007 (PST)

Season 4 Episode 1

Pleasssssssee start in September/October 2007,,, don't make us wait untill January 2008 --mo-- (^Talk | ) 08:03, 29 April 2007 (PDT)

• That would then result in some kind of break for the production of the episodes and not to many people liked this year's break. BETTYFIZZW (Talk) 12:15, 29 April 2007 (PDT)
• It's going be a long wait, but it'll be worth it. If they were to hurry for our benefit the resulting episodes would likely be rushed and poorly produced. Who knows, maybe there will be another Lost Experience or something similar.--Stupot 05:17, 18 May 2007 (PDT)
• Why is Lost season 4 only going to be 16 epsiodes long when the first 3 seasons are 24, 25 episodes long? --Pacific Gilly 1992 08:30, 18 May 2007 (PDT)
  • Money. I figure it's a compromise. The networks wanted more seasons, but the producers refused to make extra episodes to drag it out. They have said before that the series should run about 100 episodes. So, to make it last an additional three years they shortened the seasons. I admire the producers for not giving in to making extra episodes for no reason to extend the series, but it really ticks me off that we have to wait til 2010 to finish.--Silentounce 06:40, 24 May 2007 (PDT)silentounce
    • I posted this on season 6's discussion page, but season 4 will see more hits sooner, so I'm pasting it here as well.
      Season 1 - 22(24) - 2 hour pilot and finale
      Season 2 - 22(23) - 2 hour finale
      Season 3 - 22(23) - 2 hour finale
      Season 4 - 16
      Season 5 - 16
      Season 6 - 16
      My guess for the shortened seasons is that they have material for 2 more full seasons (44/46 episodes), but want more money, so they break it into three short seasons (48/51 episodes) and BS their way though 4 episodes, or use them to tell us about Libby/Rousseau/other stuff that only "die-hards" care about. --Suddud (Talk) 20:09, 24 May 2007 (PDT)
• Total hours hasn't been confirmed, there could be a 2-hour premier and final, pushing the total hours to 18. So there would technically be more than 16 episodes if you think about it.

Note, they do not start filming season 4 until August 2007.--ukexpat 10:15, 25 May 2007 (PDT)

• Will it be later, since thats when they started season 3, since there less episodes, would it be October, or are they just going to spread it out.

The whole thing pretty much should be in {{Quote|text= }} tags. --Sloths 11:44, 1 May 2007 (PDT)

Season 4 shortened to 16 eps long

Source

They're ending at Season 6, with seasons 4-6 being 16 eps long.

Cast

I think you can change the season three cast list on this page to "confirmed cast at this point," because so far producers have confirmed two people: Matthew Fox and Jorge Garcia.--Jeff 00:06, 10 May 2007 (PDT)

Charlie

Has he been confirmed as a cast member for season 4? I was under the understanding that he had left the show hence his death. --Suddud (Talk) 20:10, 24 May 2007 (PDT)

• I'm not sure that text (taken straight from a press release?) is saying it- it just says that Lost stars Dominic... not Lost Season 4. Stupid, I know, but that's press releases for you.--Chocky 20:18, 24 May 2007 (PDT)

• I just looked at the press release... it was released on 21st March, so it's not surprising they said that Dominic stars in it, otherwise it'd be a pretty major spoiler!

• Now that hes confirmed dead, his name can be removed from the cast list.
  • I'd agree but with how the island works, who knows. I'd say no big changes should be made to cast list on this site until either definite proof of Charlie not returning is found/released, or if once Season 4 starts we are made aware that he is indeed gone like Niki/Paulo and not gone like Mikhail. --Suddud (Talk) 21:02, 29 May 2007 (PDT)
    • Both the producers and actor have said that he is definitely dead. And that Dominic is moving on to new things, like movies. I think it's safe to say he's gone.--Chocky 13:18, 30 May 2007 (PDT)
      • Fine by me, wasn't a fan of his. Where did you get this from? I thought there hadn't been an official release stating he was dead yet. --Suddud (Talk) 05:30, 2 June 2007 (PDT)

Additions to the Cast

We know that every year they like to add new people to the cast, i.e. Juliet and Ben this year. This is who I think may be added as a main cast member next year:

• Alex - almost certainly
• Karl - most probably
• Richard Alpert - maybe
• Danielle Rousseau - maybe

What does everyone else think? --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  00:13, 30 May 2007 (PDT)

I'm very certain Alex will be joining the cast and my hopes is Richard does too. Though I won't mind if Karl comes too. Danielle...sure what the heck. BETTYFIZZW (Talk) 03:57, 30 May 2007 (PDT)

I imagine that Danielle is a much more important character than we think, and that she'll remain a mysterious recurring guest character for most of the series. JoelVanAtta 16:32, 30 May 2007 (PDT)

Danielle has been confirmed in a podcast as getting her flashback episode in Season 4. Although there have been a few exceptions (Rose and Bernard, Desmond in season 2), generally flashbacks only go to regular cast members, so this is probably a good hint that Danielle will indeed be joining the regular cast. And I think it will be awesome. She'd make a good romantic interest (in a strange way) for either Locke or Sayid. I think Alex will probably join the cast too, but Karl still seems like more of a recurring character to me. Richard will probably continue to be recurring as well. Bookhouse88 22:22, 1 June 2007 (PDT) Karl will definitely be recurring but I think that Danielle (maybe Alex) will be main cast. I can see the next season having lots of fight (i believe ben about the people coming to the island) and the Frenchwoman's good with traps, guns and dynamite

What about Cindy, Zack, and Emma? They could possibly be joining the cast as well. --James W. 20:18, 4 June 2007 (PDT)

Doubt it! I think we might see them sometimes, but they will not be main cast, or even recurring..--Adril-22 16:23, 5 June 2007 (PDT)

Opening Sccene - A New Character?

Every season opening starts with a new character..

1 - Jack

2 - Desmond

3 - Juliet

4 - (Person On Boat)?

--Adril-22 16:26, 5 June 2007 (PDT)

• I thought about this too, and I decided that it would be awesome if it started with a)some person doing something below deck on the boat, and then being called up by someone and then looking out and seeing the island, or b)one of Richard's fellow age-less Hostiles in the temple, doing something and then Richard walks in with the rest of the Others, and Richard recognizes him and is shocked because he thought he was dead.
