After the bomb shell of the Season 3 finale, the Season 4 premiere attempts to continue that momentum, but ends up falling a little short. Thankfully the momentum is my only small criticism. The episode introduces the term "Oceanic 6" so immediately I start to think who the 6 can be. Come to think of it, I already know three - Jack, Kate, and Hurley. The other 3 will be revealed in time, but that's not the most important part. What's important is that this episode is the beginning of the end.
So far in Seasons 1 - 3, the audiences has learned a little bit about the island and it's inhabitants, and we get a lot of background about the main characters and what drives them. Seasons 4 - 6 will give the audiences even more about the island and give us answers that we never suspected. And even more importantly, we will see what drives the main characters and to what lengths they will go to solve mysteries, problems and ultimately help themselves and each other.
In the premiere, Jack's focus right now is to save his friends with rescue. Locke's focus is to save his friends from harm. Hurley currently runs from his destiny, but remember, it's only the beginning of the end, and in time, he will accept his destiny and harmony will ensue. The chess game has begun and the pieces are ready to be played out in the next three fantastic seasons.
