I'm going to go bury myself in snow in the mountains for 98 days. Will someone come with me to make an note of where I am?

No need, just tie a string to your house and go wherever you want. We'll tug on the string when it's time! :p

Lost Premiere Date and Time

I've been in contact with one of our sources who works with a company that purchases Ads on the various networks. According to them, the Premiere will air on Thursday 29th January at 10pm

Unless any major changes happen at ABC this will be hopefully be the premiere date.

Note: ABC are officially saying that they have not yet set a date.

On Wednesday, Jan. 21, Lost returns with a three-hour (you heard me, three-hour!) premiere. "Because You Left" and "The Lie" will air back-to-back, following a recap of the first four seasons (for the very few people who aren't already addicted and/or obsessed).

......

After the Lost extravaganza premiere, the series will continue on Wednesday nights at 9. Reps at ABC have told me that a decision on new time slots for Private Practice and possibly Pushing Daisies (pleeease?) will be announced next week.

eonline

anyone know where to find the new poster for season 5 that they have on that eonline story?

That looks like a Season 4 picture especially with Michael being dead.

I stand corrected it is season 5, that means Michaels involved somewhere!

Here is one of the first promotional pictures for Season 5 of LOST which features Sawyer and Juliet.

Not sure why this is one of the first ones released, but I am sure the Sawyer/Juliet fans are happy.

I am sure we will be getting more images soon, so please check back.

Thanks to Kim for the heads up.

"Lost" will kick off its fifth season a few weeks earlier than originally planned. The series will return to its old Wednesdays at 9pm slot with a two-hour season premiere on January 21st, preceeded by a clip show special at 8pm reports the trades.

Upon its return "Private Practice", currently occupying that time slot, will be moved. Seventeen episodes are scheduled to be aired this season.

Thank god they didn't leave it in the 10pm slot.

New Mystery Girls Secret on Lost!!

Reiko Aylesworth shouldn't have any trouble keeping her trap shut when it comes to the big mystery surrounding her new Lost character, the smart and charismatic Amy. But it's not the gag order imposed on her by Team Darlton that's preventing her from telling all. It's the fact that?well, she can barely straighten out the plot twists herself.

"I know the show, but I have to say, I didn't quite understand everything [the writers] were telling me," confesses the actress, best known for her role as 24's late CTU director, Michelle Dessler. "But it sounds like it's going to be great stuff. I'm just excited to do something other than getting people files and carrying clipboards [like on 24]."

One theory making the rounds is that Amy, who'll be introduced during the show's fifth season (debuting Wednesday, Jan. 21), will be revealed to be someone from the early days of the Dharma Initiative. (FYI: For those playing along at home, the answer to last week's Ask Ausiello asterisk quiz is she's "with Dharma.) That would seem to confirm buzz that Ben (Michael Emerson) transported the island and all of its inhabitants back to the '70s in last May's finale.

At least Aylesworth can say with near certainty that Amy's love life will be complicated. "There's definitely some conflict with the suitors," she teases. Wait a second -- suitors, as in plural? How literal will the show's depiction of the '70s be? "Obviously, we want that to be a surprise," says executive producer Carlton Cuse. " Let's just say her role will be emotional."

Holy balls, the island back to the 70's would explain why Juliet finds the hatch and that Radzinksy will be coming out the hatch!

Summary of Points from the Creators!

“Lost” showrunners Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof spoke Saturday at Creative Screenwriting's 2008 Screenwriting Expo.

“Did they always have a plan for the show or are they just making it up as they go along” is a question often posed in fandom, and we learn again from the Saturday panel that the answer is “both.”

It sounds like a lot of the show’s broader direction wasn’t decided upon until Cuse joined the show for episode nine.

From IGN.com:

Asked if they know the answers to all the questions they raise on the show right away or sometimes figure it out as they go along, the duo said it was a combination of the two. Lindelof recalled how the entire pilot was put together – including writing, casting and production – in 12 weeks, which didn't allow much time to come up with any long-term mythology. However, once the series was given a full season order, beyond the initial 12 episode order it received, Cuse said he and Lindelof sat down and discussed, "What the overall mythological underpinnings of the show would be. We quickly landed on the ending, and then constructed this broader road map of other mythological points we'd hit on this story."

Discussing the flashbacks on the series, Cuse said it was really exciting in the first year, answering the question, "Who are these guys?", as the flashbacks could reveal big surprises about the character and their history. However, Cuse said eventually the problem became, "There's only so many revelatory flashbacks," and that by the time you get to flashbacks answering, "'Why does Jack have tattoos' and 'Why does Desmond call everyone brother', it's a fairly good illustration that these flashbacks were running out of steam"

The duo stressed that while they have introduced time travel and flash-forwards into Lost, they've firmly decided to never do a paradox story, with Cuse saying, "It's not like Heroes," where the future is always something that can be prevented or changed, but in fact on Lost, "There's nothing you can do to stop it from happening, and the more you try to stop it, the more potential there is for you to be the cause [of that future event]."

From spoilerslost.blogspot.com:

In the pilot when they introduced the polar bear, they knew that a group of people had brought it to the island for experiments, but they did not decide who these people specifically were until shortly after Carlton joined Lost for "Solitary" when he and Damon had a discussion about all the big mysteries that did not have answers yet. For example, Damon already knew what the monster and the island were, but they talked about question such as, what if the group of people is called the Dharma Initiative? What if the characters get off the island before the end because the audience would totally not expect that? What if the series becomes about the characters getting back together on the island at the end of the show? What is the final episode of the show? What is in the Hatch that is soon to be introduced?

They acknowledged that they stalled in the third season because they did not have an ending, pointed specifically to "Claire strapping a message to a frigging bird's foot!"

Originally, a flashback story was written and shot for Sawyer in "Adrift", in which Sawyer goes to Florida and falls in love with Jolene Blalock's character, who he is conning, but it was apparently was absolutely horrible so they got rid of it.

Other interesting tidbits:

* Ben Linus was originally only to appear in three episodes.

* Before Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje decided he didn’t like Hawaii, the original plan was for Eko to challenge Locke “for the spiritual leadership of the castaways.”

* Cuse seems more connected to the production in Hawaii than Lindelof. (On my visit to Oahu between the first two seasons, Lindelof told me he was looking forward to catching up with the cast members, whom he hadn’t seen since the pilot.)

* James Ford was named after Harrison Ford.

* Patrick Fischler, who plays comic Jimmy Barrett on “Mad Men,” will be in season five.

* Paul Zbyszewski (“Day Break”) and Melinda Hsu Taylor (“Medium”) have joined the writing staff.

* Drew Goddard has apparently left the show’s writing staff to direct “Cabin in the Woods,” the movie he wrote with Joss Whedon.

* 10 of the 17 season-five episodes have been written.
