I am amused that the final season of Lost is premiering on Groundhog's Day.
Simon: The decision saved your life. Zoe: Won't happen again, sir. Mal: Good. And thanks. I'm grateful. Zoe: It was my pleasure, sir.

Doc Jensen has a looong article talking about that. This is a fun bit from the article:
For those who've made the segue to Blu-ray, the season 5 collection includes maybe the coolest bonus feature in the history of bonus features: ''Lost University.'' You can click over to lostuniversity.org for more info — and you can check out the next issue of EW, wherein you'll find a review by fellow Lost nut (and Totally Lost takeover terrorist!) Adam B. Vary.
And then there is this, a package that would make a great holiday gift for any Lost super-fan (though if I know Lost super-fans the way I know Lost super-fans, I'm sure they've already pre-ordered one of these for themselves): ''Lost: The Complete Fifth Season Dharma Initiative Orientation Kit.''
Man, reading the article just brought home how much I've forgotten about Lost.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
We are re-watching Lost in its entirety in preparation for the new season. There's so much irony in seeing it from the beginning. It's fun. (I miss Charlie!)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Beau and I rewatched over the summer and it was actually a better experience than I was anticipating. I was dreading the bad seasons and plot holes, but it wasn't too bad seeing it all again.
The thing that hit me though is that last season does not hold up well at all when watched with all the previous seasons. Beau thought the most recent season was the worst in the series. I'm not quite willing to go that far (but I might with a bit more contemplation), but seeing how far the characters came from their introduction was sad.

Lost seasons 1-5 are Amazon's deal of the day for $72.99 (blu-ray $103 or thereabouts).

ABC is saying that LOST Season 6 premiere episode “LA X” will screen at the (Oahu) Sunset On The Beach big screen on January 30th, ahead of the Groundhog Day network premiere. It may only be the first hour of the premiere.
Perhaps. There's a scheduling problem: President Obama's State of the Union speech was originally set for Jan. 26, but there's now talk of moving it to Feb. 2, which would conflict with the Lost network premiere. [link]

No-spoiler article about Lost Season 6 that includes one of the two "Lost Supper" photos. [link]
[link] This is fun, it includes all the other shows that have posed their casts similarly: BSG, The Sopranos, South Park, MASH.
links fixed? okay then.

Executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, give The Hollywood Reporter an interview - [link]
My favorite part:
Cuse: I think the one thing that's pretty certain is neither of us have a great [urge] to do something [after Lost] that's this dense, sprawling and serialized. You need to exercise different creative muscles.
Lindelof: My hope is to rip off other successful shows.
THR: Like you've been ripped off?
Lindelof: Exactly. Maybe a show about vampires that work in an ad agency and one is a serial killer.
Cuse: Especially if the lead character is also cooking meth.
Lindelof: Oh, I hadn't thought of that. Almost guaranteed an Emmy. "Breaking Bad Men."
Ha!

I can't believe I am looking forward to watching Lost again. And yet I am. I just have to see what they do with it.
Lost Supper stuff was fun.
