Lost: We Have To Move The SPOILER!
Here is a two-minute preview clip from this week's episode of Return To Lost Island:
You know, for a show that is as good as this show is right now, which is very good, they could have some better preview clips. Remember in the heated anticipation leading up to the new season when they leaked that clip of the lawyer coming to Kate's house and demanding a DNA test? That was the biggest snooze ever. WHAT'S IN THE BRIEFCASE?! This was admittedly a little better because it's got the smoke monster in it, but still. Am I supposed to be on the edge of my seat wondering what's going to happen to the random French guy who just appeared at the end of the last episode and who I have absolutely no emotional or even narrative-interest attachment to? Huh, Lindelof? Because I am not. I am sitting well-balanced in the middle of my seat. I'm sitting very comfortably and unprecariously in my seat with no danger of falling off whatsoever.
Oh well. Smoke monster this week, you guys. Love that guy.

Score = 0
I had a dream last night where a version of Jack in the future lived on the island.He was a cyclops survivalist who kept coming back in time to help Locke and occasionally the other people on the island and then would erase their memories by replacing the event in their minds with a really annoying children's song. so every time they tried to access that part of their memory, all they'd hear was the children's song. then i dreamt that i was part of Lil Wayne's entourage and they kept me around because i danced funny and could come up with dumb rhymes for things.
dreams are weird.
Score = 3
but the french guy is with danielle rousseau!?!?! so jin is/was on the island 16 years before the crash. so the french guy ain't so random now, is he wiseguy?
Score = 0
Oh jeez, you just blew my miiiiiind.
OF COURSE THE FRENCH GUY IS WITH ROUSSEAU AND JIN IS ON THE ISLAND 16 YEARS BEFORE THE CRASH. He's still random. We know that all of the people with Rousseau are going to die, and we can pretty safely assume that Jin is going to time-jump, so yeah, he's a random French guy. You're basically just saying "but WHEN is he random" and I get enough of that shit from Farraday, thank you.
Score = 5
Right. It's of no fucking cinematic interest that this French guy is their suspenful selling point. We know what happens to him, but even more importantly, we've never fucking seen him before so why the hell should I care enough about him to feel thrilled?!
Come now Lost writers. You're better than that.
Score = 1
however, danielle's transmission implied that she wasn't the only one who survived even though she told sayid and co. that all of her people were dead. so "random" guy could be "brennan" who "took the keys" (http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Brennan_(science_expedition) - which means he might be the KEY to everything.
ha! the very opposite of random. mind. blown. your serve...
Score = 0
That's one hell of an assumption to try and justify his purpose for a two minute sneak preview.
Score = 1
nah, i was just fucking with gabe...

Understood

You tell 'em. Nerd.

Remember Henry Gale? Do ya Gabe?
Never question my judgement.

I think Darlton has repeatedly asked ABC to stop being so damn spoilerish in the previews, especially since they don't care much about expanding their fanbase, since they are locked for two more seasons. I remember when, in season 2, they tried to grab more viewers with misleading promos (i.e. Jin speaking english in Hurley's first episode in season 2, but it was just a dream).
Score = 1
The French guys are really interesting however, because they are very very attractive. I'll be sad to see them die before they all go skinny dipping together, like Europeans are prone to do.
God, I hope they cast attractive guys as the 4 toed men too.
Score = 1
Here's the thing: ABC is notoriously bad at promoting Lost, always emphasizing the least important plot points of a given episode in favor of something they think will appeal to the Grey's Anatomy audience (Kate might lose her baby! Wednesday at 9!). You really can't judge an upcoming episode from the garbage ABC dishes out.
