S4: Confirmed Dead

If you didn't believe Naomi when she told the others that the plane was found with zero survivors, this episode cements that statement by showing the news broadcast multiple times and sometimes in different languages.  This episode also introduces some new characters that are going to be around for quite a while - Daniel Farraday, Miles, Charlotte and Lapidus.  The audience gets brief glimpses of their lives pre-island and how either the crash or something island related touched their lives.  The coolest of the three that doesn't make much sense now, but will later, is the Dharma polar bear in the desert.

I liked Jack's line in the episode where he tells Kate to calm down and just play along.  With this episode and the last, it's almost like the writers telling us to just settle down, and just enjoy the ride.  Right now things are pretty linear as we go from episode to next which is going to change very soon.  As this season slow builds just as the first and second season did, I'm very much enjoying the ride.
