I started watching Lost in June and I finished all 5 seasons in about 2 weeks...it's an AMAZING show! I can't wait for the next season!

Same here!

I started watching in June too, but it took until now to watch all 5 seasons!

Can't wait to see Season 6!

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje has admitted that he hopes to return to Lost for its final season.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the actor - also known as Mr. Eko - said that he has been in discussions with producers over a potential comeback.

"Adewale is open for business," he said. "We have had talks about some things they might do for the final season and there are other dead folks coming back allegedly but at the moment it is still a maybe. A strong maybe, but I have not shot anything yet or signed any contracts. But I'm hoping."

He added: "Fans of Eko should have hope. I loved playing that character."

Greg Grunberg recently revealed that he has been asked to return for the show's upcoming sixth season, while Elizabeth Mitchell confirmed that she will reprise her role as Juliet for "more than one" episode.

Oh my oh my!!!!!

He knew that that Jack and Locke would have to go head to head quite a bit in Season 6. Now if he is talking about the real Locke or Darth Locke who knows? At least we will get a good dose of Terry O' Quinn.

I hope it's the real Locke, and that Locke kicks Jack's ass :D

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje has said that he's ready and willing to return to Lost, and new reports from the set indicate he may be getting his wish. The ODI is reporting that Mr. Eko's church is being rebuilt, although this one might be more advanced than the last, with an automatic watering system to keep the foliage around the church green.

I wonder if he is going to bring Monk with him...

In early July we showed off a first look at Lost - The Complete 5th Season: Dharma Initiation Kit, the special limited-edition collector's package that will be available on both DVD and Blu-ray Disc formats. These come out on December 8th, the same day as the standard-packaged versions ship on DVD and Blu-ray.

Over the weekend one of our retailer contacts sent us an updated look at the packaging for the "Dharma Initiation Kit" set. It's not truly a surprise to get the revised artwork, because the previous image was labeled "subject to change". Some of the changes are quite interesting, however: there's an additional disc shown in the set, but not in a "floppy disc" sleeve as the first five are. Instead, the new one resembles a vinyl record sticking out of its sleeve, for the single of a song titled "Dharma Lady" from the fictional (or are they? producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have insisted the band is real, however obscure) '70s musical group "Geronimo Jackson". That's a band which fans of Lost should recall coming up in various episodes, in various ways (an album found in "the hatch", on posters, t-shirts, etc.).

Another change is the addition of a new patch, of the type that would be seen on Dharma jumpsuits. In addition to the patches already shown for "The Lamp Post" and for the Cafeteria section of the Barracks, there is now a third patch containing the logo of the submarine, The Galaga. Additionally, there have been some tweaks made in the coloring and layout of some of the materials shown, and the map seen under the patches is now a "finished" map rather than the crude hand-drawn map shown in the previous picture. Finally, the outer box has been finalized, with the same concept (of beat-up corrugated cardboard) as before, but even better.

Please note that we've checked with our contacts at the studio itself, and they confirm that this is the DVD artwork for the "Dharma Initiation Kit" release, and that the Blu-ray version of this kit hasn't had artwork released yet. We're sure it will look similar to this, however. We've got the "beauty shot" to show you first, with the updated look at the entire package and its contents. Below that are a few close-ups of various portions of that picture, so you can get a better look at some of it. At the bottom is the new close-up of the outer package. Enjoy!

Here is the first official casting call for Season 6

The first official piece of new casting for Lost?s sixth and final season has arrived ? and it?s surprisingly detailed. Team Darlton is looking for an actor in his mid 30s to late 50s to Lennon: Scruffy, edgy, charismatic, and slightly stir-crazy, Lennon can be deferential when it?s called for.

He?s the spokesperson/translator for the president of a foreign corporation. He?s a wily negotiator, and far more powerful than his lowly position would seem to indicate. indicate.

RecurrinEWe: EW

The other day we reported that ABC?s ?Lost? was looking for someone to play a new character on the show named Lennon. Well, their search is over. They have casts John Hawkes to play him, according to Hollywood Reporter.

The character,Lennon is a spokesperson and translator for the president of a foreign corporation. However, the character will have more influence than meets the eye. At this time, it remains to be seen if Lennon will be interested in peace and love,or if he will play a darker role.

John Hawkes has appeared on a couple of HBO shows in the past, which include : ?Eastbound & Down? as Dustin Powers and ?Deadwood? as Sol Star.?

Super-famous Japanese actor Hiroyuki Shimosawa ? best known stateside for his roles in The Last Samurai and Rush Hour 3 ? is joining the sixth and final season of Lost, sources confirm to me exclusively.

Who?s Shimosawa playing? Beats the hell out of me. I squeezed every last one of my moles for deets and the only thing I came up with is that it?s a ?significant recurring? role. Sounds like a case for Doc Jensen?

?My prediction,? says D.J., ?is that he will play a mystical mystery man who serves as John Locke?s Obi-Wan-meets-Mr. Miyagi in the post-Jughead rebooted Lost timeline. Attuned to The Island?s magic ? perhaps an embodiment of The Island itself ? Hiroyuki?s character will help the amnesiac Locke rediscover his destiny to become The Island knight/protector and guide him back, even as dark forces conspire to stop Locke and the rest of the castaways from going back.?

Yeah, I suspected as much.

This is the second major season 6 Lost casting to break this week. On Wednesday, it was announced that Deadwood?s John Hawkes had been tapped to play Lennon, the ?scruffy, edgy, charismatic spokesperson/translator for the president of a foreign corporation.?

A pair of intrepid Lost watchers visited several sets during a Hawaii vacation, and found what looks to be the set for the first location shoot of the six season: the beach temple where Jacob lived, with the remnants of a bonfire. Word is that Michael Emerson (Ben) and Terry O'Quinn (Locke, maybe) are attached to the scene, suggesting at least one thread of Season Six will pick up where Season Five left off. [Ryan's Hawaii Blog]

As you have probably guessed by now, this is a direct continuation of the Season 5 finale with Ben and Locke (UnLocke) exiting the statue and meeting with the rest of the characters.

Our source did not understand what was taking place but as you can see all the others are looking to the sky as Ben and UnLocke walk towards the rest. My first thought was could there be a plane crash or perhaps another flash (purple sky incident)??

Well Ryan's Set Report has several great details describing a scene with UnLocke beating the crap out of Richard!!

?LOST? filmed late into the night and continued work today in West O?ahu (as reported yesterday). And ?LOST? fans from afar ? New York and Brazil ? were able to get relatively close to the action as a scene unfolded at Jacob?s beach temple. The following is a composite of their brief, breathless reports:

When we arrived, Terry O?Quinn (Locke) was the only main actor working, and he was laying in the sand? likely to get a close up for his body. Then, as he was replaced by a stand-in (lie-in?), Yunjun Kim (Sun) and Nestor Carbonell (Richard) arrived on set with other actors and extras. The next scene was of Not-Locke and Richard descending from the temple. The assembled Others, obviously suspicious of Not-Locke, raise their guns as Not-Locke steps up to confront Richard.

After O?Quinn rehearsed some moves with Carbonell?s stand-in, the last scene we watched was the most intense. Not-Locke beats the crap out of Richard. After Richard is taken down, Not-Locke looks across the faces of everyone watching. He waves his finger and says, ?I?m very disappointed in all of you.?

that just sounds awesome that last bit!

Jacob said that "they're coming back". The ones from the incident must be time travelling so I guess at that moment something happens in the sky and that's why they all look at the sky while the other two are coming out of the temple. That's my .. wild guess :p

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue.

    • Text extractor hasn't been working great on 0.99.1 but I am now updating to this version, hopefully it's better!
    • Yet you did exactly what they wanted you to do - is it better now without "Europrats"? BTW, UK had joined EU (EEC back then) and was one of the leading member states, it never joined Schengen Zone though 😉
