I've had permission and confirmation from a number of very good sources that the Season 4 Premiere of Lost will feature multiple character flashbacks and/or flashforwards. This is something a number of people have speculated about, including myself, due to conflicting nature of the centric episode spoilers for Episode.
We initially thought this was a Sawyer centric episode then I got confirmation that it would definitely feature Hurley, well know it seems that both were correct. So far we can speculate that it will feature Sawyer and Hurley but could also feature other characters.

Nice on, I fugured as much *nods*
This is going to be interesting! Is it February already?
Does this mean it will be 2 hours? I don't think they can complete a fulfilling story on 2+ characters in just 40-45 minutes.
It's a really cool idea, but I'm afraid they are doing it just for the sake of doing it. It probably needs 80 minutes of episode time to work.
mh.. maybe every person just gets one flashback and in it the connections to the new folks from the frighter are shown...
Well, we don't really know the nature of the flashbacks... one of them might be enough to fit into one flashback sequence.
There's also a precedence for a season premiere having flashbacks for two characters... "Tale of Two Cities" did it with Juliet and Jack.
OMG dark it's a great new !!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like it could be like Exodus, but with flash forwards? Unless it's flashbacks showing characters like Hurley and Sawyer have already met at least one person coming on the boat (a la Jack having met Desmond before in the Season 2 premiere).
Autumn is really starting to suck without Lost and 24, and HBO doesn't really have anything going on now besides Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Looks like I may make it through this semester after all!
Like the Idea. And don't like the idea =)
could it be that episode isnt multi centric but that we are following one character who met our castaways during different periods of their lives (which would indicate that they are indeed on the island for a reason - that it isnt coincidence that they were on the plane, but it was orchestrated) or maybe we are following a character that will meet (flash forwards) our castaways in the future.. we already know that Lance Reddick was filming a scene with Jorge Garcia
darian: No, my source says that it is truly multi-centric.
was multi-centric an option in the character cup???
if not, i suppose we'll just all lose that one :P
Maybe the flashbacks show some of the beach guys... like Hurley, Sawyer, Sayid, Jin...
nicolemm05: Probably all the people that get centric will be rewarded.
I didn't choose hurley nor sawyer, so I still will lose :(
So wud this multi - centric premiere episode will just be focusin on just Hurley & Sawyer?
Fantastic! I like the idea of them switching things up a bit on the format of the episodes. Plus, Saywer and Hurley are my two favorite characters... so it's all good from my point of view. :)

Hi Rad: At this point I suspect that it will be Hurley and Sawyer and maybe 1 or 2 more. If it's just an hour they won't have much time to do too many more.
awesome. sounds cool. hope it doesn't leave you totally confused. and i definitely didn't last spoiler free in s4. i was too weak and i had to give in :)
Sounds cool Dark. {sorry about the scans of the galaga submarine, I felt like I let u down}. Anyway I wonder who else flashbacks/flashforwards r?
I remember hearing someone involved with the show, I think it was Darlton saying we could find out which episodes are whom-centric on abc.com (i'm just trying to use the word whom in my everyday vocabulary, regardless of whether or not it makes sense)
is that still going to happen and if so, does anyone know about when that will show up?
I expect to be completely surprised this season. The f.f. at the end of last season was a complete surprise for me. I hope that TPTB dont make it to complicated or difficult to follow. I dont like the idea of having multi charecter centric epis especialy since its rumored it could be up to 4. Like another posted I hope, crosed finers, toes, and knocking on wood that it is a two hour premier.

Who said it isnt 2 hours? :D
I cannot believe this hiatus..........I just CANNOT believe we have 4 months left.....Great news by the way Sawyer and Hurley centric episode??I'm gonna cry from joy!
I can see a multi-character centric show esp if f.b./f.f. feaure the characters as their lives intersect or as something or some event in the Lost story happens to or affects those various characters. It is a series premiere and it has to catch people up and get things moving in nice cohesive fashion.
Darlton have had several months to make this work, and if they could pull of the finale under the gun surely a sunmer is long enough to make something work.
Go, Darlton.
It'll obviously be a Hurley and Sawyer flashforward!
A multi-centric premiere sounds awesome! I'm impressed.
Perhaps, they should go ahead for 2 hours premiere and finale each season from now on since we'll be getting 16 episodes so I thought why not double episode for premiere and finale as one episode just like all other finales in previous seasons. It'd be nice since it'll be a short season for next 3 seasons.
I reckon it is a flash-forward...after coming back from the island, and trying to tell everyone, Hurley has been shoved back in the mental institution.
But then...Sawyer busts him out, by driving a truck through the wall! And then they go on the run, like the A-team.
Maaaaan, I'd like to see that show.
Wow, interesting.
Flashbacks and Flashforwards in the same eps. We're really going to have to pay attention now!
