In anticipation of the upcoming 4th season of LOST I started doing some digging into the some of the stuff that has been happening online to promote the upcoming season. I find myself I kinda try and ignore LOST as best as I can while it’s not on the air, mainly so it doesn’t entirely drive me to distraction. Recently what ABC has been doing is showing a series of mobisodes, which are short clips available to Verizon customers on their cell phones. The series is called Missing Pieces and essentially works to fill in conversations and plot gaps that have come up during the course of the show. These clips span from season 1 to season 3, so there are characters that have died or left the show making an appearance. Since these were produced recently they ran into some issues with regards to the character changes that have occurred during the run of the show. Sun actually sports a wig in her scenes to cover up the fact her hair has grown a fair bit in the show, which is kind of amusing. I think they do a real good job of reacquainting viewers with characters they haven’t seen in close to 8 months. Here are the mobisodes so far. They don’t really feature any spoilers assuming you’ve seen up to the end of season 3, but they do feature a couple of interesting revelations that weren’t known before about past events.
