Wednesday used to be LOST day here at Semicolon. Since we’ve been on LOST hiatus and since my LOST reading project has been derailed by Cybils reading, I’ve been neglecting LOST. So here’s a trailer to whet your appetite:

I stole the trailer from the Thinklings blog. Wow! It looks as if there are other Others who are out to . . . do what? And they have to follow Locke, my least favorite character on the island, in order to survive?

We’ve been reviewing the first season of LOST here, and I’ve noticed a few things already.

Several of the characters really have grown and developed over the course of the show: Jack has become more confident and more humble at the same time. Sawyer isn’t as interested in punishing himself as he was in the first few shows. Sayid realized at some point that he could be a leader and still submit to authority when necessary. Charlie, of course, changed from an addict into a hero. All the Losties, or at least most of them, learned to “live together” instead of dying alone, except for those who died alone.

Kate remains annoying and untrustworthy, as far as I’m concerned.

LOST returns January 31, 2008. At least I suppose it does, if the members of the writers’ guild and the powers-that-be in Hollywood have learned to live together by then.
