I am loving this season so far -- they've put their foot on the gas pedal and haven't let up yet. The denseness of every episode, while making it difficult as always to wait a week in between episodes, has given us a lot more to think about during the week, and makes each hour that much more satisfying.

I would have really liked to have seen a traditional flashback episode for Rousseau. She was an important enough character for the first four seasons that she most definitely deserved one.

I think they were going to have one last season, but due to the writers' strike-shortened season, it was one of the things that got cut. It's been interesting to see how they've incorporated elements of the show like that this season -- especially by incorporating our main characters into those storylines. For example, the writers said we'd be learnig more about the Dharma Initiative this season, but I didn't expect that would be from Sawyer, Juliet, Jin, Miles, etc. being worked into it.

Anyway, awesome stuff, and I can't wait to see more!

Take care,
