We're back for season four, folks! "The Beginning of the End" picks up right where season 3 left off. It's the first season premiere to focus on anyone but Jack, choosing Hurley instead. We talk about the still-escalating Jack-John conflict, Jacob's cabin, the fallout from Charlie's death, and the visit of the mysterious Matthew Abaddon to Hurley in the flash-forward. Stick around for the start of our conversation with Rebecca Mader, who says she was starstruck the moment she arrived in Hawaii to play Charlotte Lewis and that it never really went away.
