"Lost" in Space?

From a recent TV Guide interview by late night host and huge "Lost" fan Jimmy Kimmel with the show's producers, Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof:

Kimmel: Is everyone on the island from planet Earth?
Cuse: [Long pause] Yes. That may be one of the best Lost questions we've ever been asked.
Lindelof: When you get asked questions like that, you have to be very careful how you answer.

A hint? A clue? So everyone on the island is from Earth, but does that necessarily mean the island is on Earth? A parallel Earth?

Today's the Day!

In less than four hours, "Lost" returns with the first of the final set of episodes for this season. While you're waiting for it to start or if you are reading this on Friday and I haven't yet posted my weekly thoughts, check out these theories from USA Today's website. Once you read one, grade it, and submit it and you will see the producers' own grades and comments. Very interesting reading. Thanks to Ben (no, not that one) for bringing this to my attention.

Two More Days!

Just a little over 48 hours until the return of "Lost". Remember, it's now at 10 p.m. EST. Get ready for a body washing up on the beach, a blaze of bullets, and the mysterious Code 14-J.

"Lost" to Last a Little Longer

With 11 days until "Lost" returns, there has been some surprising news. Originally, this season was supposed to be 16 episodes, but the Writers Strike changed that to only 13. Now, however, the producers have announced there will be an extra hour added to this season, resulting in what is essentially a three-hour finale! Before you clear your calendar, here's how the shows are going to air. The first hour of that finale will air on May 15 at 10 p.m., and then we have to wait two weeks until May 29 for the last two hours. This means no "Lost" on May 22. According to tvguide.com, the producers convinced ABC that the final two hours had to air together. And with the finales of Grey's and Ugly Betty already slated for May 22 at 8 and 9 p.m. respectively, ABC really had no other choice than to schedule "Lost"'s two-hour exit for May 29. If you really want a true three-hour finale, wait until the 29th when the first hour will be replayed at 8 p.m. before the new two hours at 9 p.m. Can there ever be too much "Lost"?
