It’s here! ABC finally announced that Lost will premiere on Tuesday, February 2. The good news is that it’s a special all-Lost evening. The bad news? IT’S THE LAST SEASON!
Also, the new night is Tuesday. I’m OK with Tuesday but I’m very surprised since they haven’t wanted to go up again that other singing, reality show.
Let the countdown begin!

Lost Season 6 promos are reportedly not going to contain ANY new footage! Ugh, they tease and torture us!
Well, if Dominic Monaghan is really in this show then it may have a chance. He says, however, in an interview that I saw that he’s not in the pilot but rather joins a few episodes into the show. That could explain why I haven’t been able to find him in the show’s credits yet. But… they may want to make a bigger deal of it if they are hoping to draw in Lost fans.
Sonya Walger appears to have a lead part in the new ABC drama “Flash Forward.” I guess her part on Lost is small enough that she could probably do both but would she? The new show is set to be the timeslot companion for Lost as well. Would they use the same actress for both shows?

I love “suits.” They can always find a way to say something without really saying anything at all…
ABC Entertainment president Steve McPherson said Saturday…
The final season of “Lost” will premiere sometime in early 2010, but ABC doesn’t know when or where yet.
McPherson says the show will most likely premiere “somewhere similar to where it was last year” — meaning it should be back in the first couple months of 2010. As for a specific timeslot, McPherson says the network won’t make a decision until it gets a sense of how its fall shows are doing.
“Lost” will run for 18 hours this season, an hour longer than initially expected.
Huh?
A Bolivian TV channel received an email following the crash of Air France flight 447 stating that there were images from the last moments of the flight taken by a actor that was on board the flight. Check out this video. Do the images look familiar?
Really? No one at the station thought these looked familiar? No one noticed that the shots were from the day and the crash was at night? No one was suspicious? On one hand … bravo to Lost for making a show so believable that it’s reported as real. On the other hand… it really makes me nervous that television stations aren’t doing a little more research before airing “news.”
I wasn’t going to comment on this… but I found an angle that I like! So the chatter out there is that Michelle Rodriguez (Ana Lucia) is going to *appear* in episode 2 next season. I decided that this could actually be a good thing because it gives us yet another chance to have her killed off the show. Once just wasn’t enough! I know there are some of you out there who are fans but I personally couldn’t stand her character. Why can’t they get Eko to come back?
Cheech Marin (aka: Hurley’s dad) is also set to appear in the episode so it’s looking like a Hurley flashie (I would assume flash back but Hurley sees dead people now so it could be a flash forward too).
I swear, it kills me posting this stuff. I want to be there! And, for any Faraday-tie theorists, there is a little tidbit in here for you!
Comic-Con: ‘Lost’ gives back to the fans

Those who asked a question during the “Lost” standing-room-only session were well-rewarded.
Executive producers Damon Lindeloff (who was wearing a convention-appropriate “SAVE SNAPE” T-shirt) and Carlton Cuse bought a bottomless box of goodies for fans — think something like Mary Poppins’ carpet bag — all direct from the set of the ABC series.
But perhaps even more important than swag, the Comic-Con crowd was privy to a secret video — which will be available online soon, no doubt. The clip showed out-of-uniform Dharma Initiative scientist Marvin Candle (or Edgar Halliwax, depending on which of his videos you’re watching) urging those watching the video to reconstitute the Dharma Initiative, but all was quickly cut off by an unknown video recorder.
Here’s a rundown of “Lost” fans’ burning questions and the prizes that went with them:
Q: When the hatch imploded and the sky turned purple did the island move then? Like it did when Ben moved it (more recently)?
Damon Lindeloff: No. But something happened and that’s an excellent question.
Prize: an Oceanic Airlines bottle of water
Q: Are Jin and Locke dead?
Carlton Cuse: Jin and Locke will still be on the show in some form. You’ve not seen the last of either of those characters. You know, dead is a relative term. In the timelines of those characters there’s still a lot of story to be told.
Prize: Jin’s panda bear doll.
Q: Is “Lost” coming back next year?
DL: We’re doing 17 hours in February 2009 and 17 hours in 2010.
Prize: A “Lost” calendar.
Q: Favorite episode and favorite season?
CC: ‘The Constant’ would be my favorite episode. I think in terms of favorite seasons, the first one was so amazing and we were trying to figure everything out; yeah, just the excitement and terror of it.
DL: The Season One finale with the raft launch and all of that stuff. It was back when the show could be hopeful before it degraded into despair. And for favorite season? Season Four; everyone worked really hard. You will be rewarded for hanging in until Season Six.
CC: For us it was a huge advantage to get an end date to the show; it really reinvigorated us.
Prize: Apollo bar and an Apollo T-shirt.
Q: I just wanted to slap you around for the Jin and Sun episode — you guys are naughty.
DL: For slapping us around, here are some “Heroes” DVDs. It’s a much better show than ours. Enjoy!
Prize: “Heroes” DVD box set
Q: Are we going to get a Russo flashback? Will you definitively say in front of 6,500 of us that there will be one?
CC: We will say this: You will see Russo‘s story. But to use the word flashback would be disingenuous. We’re going to do flashbacks and flash-forwards next season, but we’ll mostly be doing something different.
DL: Danielle Russo will be in Season Five.
Prize: “Lost” luggage tags
At this point, someone asked a question about whether production would continue under “the new SAG contract,” to which Lindeloff replied that he wasn’t aware there was a new one yet — there isn’t — but reassured shooting would continue regardless. For asking the question, the guy received the best worst prize of the lot: Photographs of the actors who played short-lived Nikki and Paulo. “Who wouldn’t want that?” Lindeloff asked. “Yes, two SAG actors,” said Cuse.
Q: Do your own mothers not know how the show will end?
CC: They like to be in the dark.
Prize: A life jacket signed by all the writers.
Q: Where is our special guest?
DL: The actors [are] scattered all over the world at the moment, so it’s almost a Herculean task to get any of them out here.
Prize: Signed box set of all seasons of the show.
Q: What happened to [the dog] Vincent?
DL: Vincent made it and will appear in season five. Safe to say he’ll make it to the end of the show.
Prize: Polar bear doll
Q: Are Jack and Kate your one true pairing and will they end up together?
CC: There it is. Someone who asked a real question, a ballsy question that gets right to the heart of the story and the mythology — we can’t answer it.
DL: Sir, we can not tell you the answer to that question. Obviously we’re very invested in that relationship.
Prize: Jack Shepherd autographed doll … delivered by surprise guest Matthew Fox.
Q: Will Kate ever see Sawyer again?
DL: Not if Jack has anything to say about it! No, yes, Kate will see Sawyer again
Prize: A signed “Lost” poster
Q: Now that the island has moved, what happened to the survivors and Daniel Faraday?
DL: You refer to the Zodiac boat and the non-line speakers, right? Sadly, there is a monsoon a comin’ for some…
Prize: An authentic Faraday tie. “For those of you wondering why Faraday is wearing a tie on the island, stay tuned,” Lindeloff said.
Q: Flash-forwards, how are you going to limit yourselves?
DL: When Season Five starts, you won’t know where and when you are. The way we’re gonna tell stories is gonna be different too.
CC: We organized a bit differently; if we were constrained by FF and FB that that was not gonna be the best way to tell our stories.
Prize: Hanso foundation hat.
Q: How does this show end?
CC: It ends well, we hope — we can’t answer that.
Prize: A six pack of Dharma drinks
Q: Do you ever come up with stuff like, let’s make Kate a dude, or do you have it all planned out from the beginning?
CC: You can’t have It all planned out. We actually try to write ourselves into corners every day. What we try to avoid is filming that without knowing the answers. We try to puzzle our way out of situations.
Prize: DryErase eraser signed by CC and DL
Q: How old is Richard Alpert and how many toes does he have?
CC: That’s a really good question. He is quite old. We’ve hinted that people age differently on the island and people heal. That is hopefully an engaging mystery that will keep you tuning in. You will learn more about Richard Alpert.
DL: You’re gonna see his toes too.
Prize: A T-shirt that says: “I asked a Richard Alpert a question and all I got what this lousy T-shirt.”
Two years of drought are over! Lost has been nominated for Outstanding Drama Series. Michael Emerson has also been nominated for Supporting Actor, but where are the rest? No Locke?
“Ugly Betty and Grey’s Anatomy return April 24, with each series airing five new episodes. To round out the Thursday-night knockout punch, execs are (as Ausiello first reported) placing Lost in the 10 pm/ET slot for at least five new episodes.” Source; TV Guide
At least five new episodes = Yeah!
10 pm = BOO!
