See the First Four Minutes of the Premiere

Can't wait until Tuesday night to see the opening of the final season's premiere? Then check it out here. The first half should be very familiar to anyone who watched last week's rerun of the season 5 finale. And the second half should look familiar too with some slight differences (as noted in the video poster's pop-up comments).

Two Weeks!

Two weeks from tonight will be the premiere of Season 6! I recently read that some of the pressing questions will be answered in the first few episodes than in the entirety of most seasons. Well, they better since this is it!

Lost More Important Than the State of the Union

As some of you may heard today, there was concern (very great concern!) that President Obama's State of the Union speech could air on Tuesday, February 2, preempting the premiere of Lost's final season. Well, good news: According to eonline.com:

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs has announced today that while the annual speech has not been officially scheduled, the big to-do will definitely not land on Tuesday, Feb. 2, as was previously feared.

And while the White House didn't admit that public pressure from Lost fans did the trick, there was some talk that the Dharma Initiative was involved...

The topic came up at today's White House press briefing when ABC Radio reporter Ann Compton asked about the scheduling situation. Gibbs responded, "I don't foresee a scenario in which millions people who hope to finally get some conclusion with Lost are preempted by the president," and then remarked that he was intrigued by ABC News reporters querying the White House on this topic on behalf of their corporate cousins at ABC Entertainment. At which point ABC White House correspondent and noted Twitterista Jake Tapper quipped, "How about on behalf of the Dharma Initiative?"

26 Days and Counting!

As of this posting, there is less than a month before the premiere of the sixth and final season of Lost. Last season's finale doesn't feel like it was 8 months ago! I had heard a rumor that the producers have asked ABC not to air any scenes from the new season since even the quickest glimpse would give too much away. This would explain the promos that only show footage from previous episodes. I can't wait!
