Lost Season 3 Predictions

If you’re a fan of LOST, the serialized ABC hit, you probably have your own list of predictions for Season 3. LOST Season 2 is barely over, I know, but Season 3 seems far away and what better way to spend the time but conjuring up your own coming-soon predictions? In Season 3, what will happen with the LOST castaways- the ones who survived Season 2, I mean. Here are some LOST Season 3 predictions. Feel free to disagree

SLOW PROGRESS CONTINUES

I think one problem with LOST is that, as a serialized drama, it can’t do too much too fast. If LOST wants to stay on the air, what, five, six years, it needs to really keep the forward movement slow. Luckily, we’re not playing in “real time” here, so 5 season doesn’t mean the poor LOST islanders will suffer for a full five years in limbo. We, on the other hand, can expect the producers to stretch things out as long as possible. That can be very cool, if it means each week we get more tantalizing clues and enough forward motion to get us excited. But many fans believed this season was too slow – and hope Season 3 has more revelations throughout the season than Season 2 did.

The heightening of tension might be aided by the fact ABC is, I read, considering airing Season 3 LOST in two chunks – early season and late season – so we don’t have to sit through a million reruns. Instead, we see a bunch of episodes in a row followed by a break where we sweat it out, and then another bunch of episodes in a row. I’m not sure if that’s going to happen or not, but, reruns can be a bore – even if you watch for Easter eggs.

Of course, everything is totally dependent on how well the LOST producers do in Season 3 at putting things together. They, like a lot of shows, seem to play it by ear. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn’t.
