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!)

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

"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.

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]

[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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Re-watching Lost from the beginning, at this point, is turning out to be a fascinating experience. Tiny speculation: I think they've already given us the 'how' of the entire show, with the ending of season five; the final season will be about the 'why'. Sort of. I think. Man, do I hope they close all the plot loopholes and don't leave any loose ends hanging.
