Lost (Possible Spoilers)

Extended Lost Season 6 “Grace” TV Spot

We’re about a month and a half away from the beginning of the end for one of the coolest and lovable, yet mind-boggling shows on television. That of course, is ABC’s Lost.

The masterminds behind the series have been more careful than ever about keeping things under wrap for this final season and using only scenes from earlier in the series for their promos, but what we do know is that we’ll be seeing a lot of out favorite regulars from earlier seasons making a return in season 6 which is a fantastic way to close out the series.

Check below for the new extended “Grace” TV spot featuring Willie Nelson’s rendition of Amazing Grace as the background music.


This trailer pales in comparison to the Spanish Lost Chessboard trailer from two weeks ago, so definitely check that out if you haven’t already.

Lost Season 6 begins with a three-hour event on Tuesday, February 2, 2010.

Nobody on this site seems to be excited for the last season. Sedai was the only member to show any enthusiasm for the upcoming final season since the show ending last season in May.
Well glad you're looking forward to it like I am BritBrat. It's going to be a wild ride this coming year on Lost. Can't wait

I'm starting to watch "Lost" on Netflix instant queue. I am through the first season and am on the fourth episode of season 2 now.

I do enjoy some of the backstories. I think Locke's has a lot of good writing to it, and I'm enjoying the way some of the survivor's stories are connected. Some of the show appears to be pure cheese. I can't really get into the protagonist of Jack, as I question the way his character is written to be so "good."

Did anyone else become reminded of Brando in Apocalypse Now with the way Terry O'Quinn was filmed in the first season. I imagine they were going toward that kind of vibe. They even make reference of Kurtz in one of the episodes.

A few months ago my lady friend and I decided to watch the entire series up to this point from start to finish so that, by the time the last few episodes rolled around, we'd be totally up to speed. We plowed through season 1 on DVD around Christmas, and we're about halfway through season 2.

I haven't made much of an attempt to avoid spoilers, because I've seen scattered episodes over the last few years, heard things here and there, and once upon a time read various tidbits about the series back when I wasn't sure if I would ever bother to go through it bit by bit, like I am now. I was a bit worried, then, that knowing so much of what comes later would really make watching the first couple of seasons a chore...but man, was I wrong about that. I can't believe how engrossing it still is, even when I know so much of what's to come. What a well-crafted show.

Anyway, I hope to finish season 2 this week. I'm maintaining a small text file of loose ends that I'm adding/subtracting to as the series goes on, and devouring a fair number of theories and interviews with the creators.

Kinda fun to be able to get into it now; it has lots of benefits. For one, I won't have to do a lot of week-to-week waiting when I finally catch up, and for another, it should give me a great vantage point of the overarcing storyline to see the series in a relatively compressed period of time.

By the by, I dunno if this has been mentioned already (probably), but who here's read the Time Loop Theory?

http://www.timelooptheory.com

Dunno if I should label this link as quasi-spoiler-y, but it's just a theory, so I guess it's safe. It's been tweaked a bit over time to match the show as it's gone on. Not sure I entirely buy it, but I have to admit it explains some things quite elegantly.

Well, Yods, the DVDs for seasons 3 and 4 are here waiting for you, assuming you make it up here sometime this week. I can bring 'em over when I pick up your sister this week (Wed.)... And I think season 5 is available on ABC.com, or it was.... (I do have the DVR versions of season 5 if you need those.)

Hurry up! You have only a little under a month left till the final season premiere! And yeah, rewatchings of this show really do hold up. I think the writing is good enough, twisty enough, and clever enough, and the acting is stellar and casting flawless, which also helps it hold up over time.

Plus, the cast of characters is simply large enough to keep one's attention. And, although some of us have probably griped about the backstory bits of the show, they really do keep the pacing on track and they really do give us essential elements of the larger story.

It's no coincidence, after all, that the show is called "Lost." Not just on an island, but, as ever recap show has ever said, lost in their own lives. The backstories help us see that clearly.

I was a little surprised too, at how well the show held up to a re-watch. I wish season 5 would hurry up and make an appearance. What's the hold up with that anyway?

PW, do you mean the new season? Because that's season 6, the final season. It's starting on Feb. 2.... What' the holdup? Ha ha haaa! "Lost" is notorious for huge gaps between seasons. It's one of the reasons they had to fiddle with Walt's character arc -- the kid who played him got too old between seasons!

Season 5 is out on DVD (as of December)..... It's the only one I don't own yet.

Yeah, I meant season 5. I didn't realize it was out, thanks nice lady.

Yeah I think they're online, and definitely on iTunes, so one way or another we're covered.

And yeah, it'd be cool if you could send those over (don't worry, I've been taking good care of the first two!). I was going to wait until we came down there, but given the delays and all that you might as well. Still be a few things to exchange and all that when we do make our way down there, anyway.

I don't think we can watch the last 3 1/2 seasons in a month, but I don't think we have to. I'll DVR all the new ones, so really I just need to finish them sometime in the middle of season 6, leaving myself enough time to catch up to the already-aired season 6 episodes. So that should give me a couple of extra months, since I'll watch more than the 1 extra episode tacked onto the pile each week, anyway.

Yeah, early on in the series I remember losing a little interest whenever a flashback came on, but not now. Probably because now, I know I can just put the next one on right after, so I don't feel like everything needs to advance something right away.

I do envy you, Yoda, getting to go through the series for the first time (in essence) back to back like that. It's how I watched the first season (via Netflix) and I adored being able to pop in the next disc right away. I had a hard time moving to waiting a week in between episodes.

(Same thing happened to me with BSG. Hated waiting once I caught up!)

Will bring seasons 3-4 over on Wed. What time would I need to show up to make sure you hadn't left yet? (You can keep season 2 as long as you need to. No sweat.)

I think I'm going to rewatch season 5 this month ... a memory refresher of sorts....

I'm obviously looking forward to the next season. This will be the first time I'm watching the season in my new apartment. (ie:without the g/f).

Lost Season 6 Spoilers

Source: Spoilerfix

It is kinda nice, again with the caveat that I know a lot of what happens already. I have more context, know to look for certain things, and get to appreciate foreshadowing better, but I get less shock out of most revelations. It's an interesting trade off.

I leave about 3:00-ish.

Will Lost's 'Boone' return from the dead?

Ian Somerhalder, who played the ill-fated Boone Carlyle on the first season of ABC's Lost, confirmed he will return for the sixth and final season in at least two episodes. He shot one in September and is scheduled to return to Hawaii for another.

"I'm going to go back," Somerhalder said in a group interview on Saturday in Pasadena, Calif., where he was promoting The CW's The Vampire Diaries as part of the Television Critics Association winter press tour. "I'm going back to do other episodes, I think, spread out throughout the season."

So how does that work? Did the atomic blast at the end of last season reset the show? Do we see Boone in flashbacks? Is he a ghost walking in the jungle, like so many others? No one will say.

In any case, since he has been off the show, Somerhalder admits he has not been able to keep up with the entire story himself. He tried to catch up before returning for the sixth-season premiere. "I caught up on as much as I possibly could, just to be prepared and know what I was talking about," Somerhalder said. "I used to tell Matt Fox, 'Listen, man, I'm going to come over and just watch DVDs. They're not out yet, let me see 'em.' But I didn't get a chance to keep up with it as much as I wanted to."


The season premiere is sure to be a doozy, if the script is any indication. "The season opener for that show, I was so blown away and so impressed and so thankful that I was even a part of that, because it's big," he said. "The script weighed about four pounds. You sit there and you go, 'Wow, this is an episode of television.'"

Somerhalder also found it amusing that President Obama has actually moved the date of his State of the Union address to avoid conflicting with the premiere of Lost. "I don't blame them," he joked. "That's really cool that I'll be in an episode of television that they thought better to change the State of the Union address. You know what they should do? Maybe President Obama, they should all just watch the episode, and then he can have the State of the Union address."

Arranging Boone's final appearances has been a scheduling feat of its own. Somerhalder currently plays a vampire on the CW show, but both sets of show runners have worked out the schedule.

"Luckily, Kevin [Williamson and] Julie [Plec of Vampire Diaries] and Damon [Lindelof] and Carlton Cuse [of Lost], and then the line producers from Lost and Vampire Diaries are making it happen," he said. "That experience, with all those people who I've known for so long, Damon and J.J. [Abrams], to have J.J. and Carlton still wanting me around and just making that happen is a really, really cool experience."

Lost returns Feb. 2 with a two-hour premiere, starting at 9 p.m. ET/PT, and will air Tuesdays at 9.

Good post. I'm with you on the spoilers thing. I have heard bits of time travel being involved and other such things, but it doesn't spoil the show because I don't know how it gets to that point.

Also you're correct about watching the show in a compressed time period giving a strong perspective on it.

Spoilers... but

I'm glad they killed off Shannon. I couldn't stand her character. I'm midway through season 2 now. I do like that they made something interesting out of "The Long Con" episode with what's his faces character.

The first look at new footage from Lost season six

OK, it's only a frame, but it's contained in this new promo for the sixth and final season of ABC's Lost, and it's actually the first glimpse we've gotten so far of the season.


The frame, which occurs at 0:15 into the promo below, reveals Claire (Emilie de Ravin) wielding some kind of long gun. We've known for a while she'll be back in the show this season.

Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter says that Titus Welliver, who played the mysterious nemesis to Jacob in ABC's Lost, is set to reprise his role in the second part of Lost's sixth and final season, which premieres Feb. 2.
