Lost with a change in direction

I'm still a big fan of Lost and am still really hoping the writers know where it's going. The trailer for season 4 has been released and it looks very intriguing. The last season ended with a flash-forward... and it looks like we're heading for a massive change of direction.

Apparently its going to be aired in January in the US despite the writers strike, with the 8 episodes filmed being aired and then a break until the rest are shot - whenever that may be. Release date for Sky One should be early February. I can't wait.
