So I'd lost pretty much all interest in Lost until I read an article in the Honolulu Advertiser stating that Lost, though having lost it's way in season 3, was going to be going back to its roots with the continuation of the season.
I was a bit down on season 3 at the start. However during the 2 month down time I got the girlfriend hooked on Lost, she hadnt even seen as much as a commercial for it.
Re-watching the series starting at Season one episode 1 kind of gave me a new take on Season 3. Season 3 episodes 1-6 are merely just exposition for a) The Others b) the whole Jack/Sawyer/Kate relationship, especially the selfless act of Jack sacraficing himself for Kate even though she slept with Sawyer c) the quest to get Jack back, also the fact that Desmond can see the future.
It is all building to the action and story that we are currently seeing. All in all their seems to be fewer 'filler episodes'.
