Greetings LOSTIES! Hope you all are enjoying the hiatus from LOST. Who am I kidding? It's torture! Just think how we'll feel in May 2010 when there is no more LOST at all to look forward to. It'll be a sad day (but exciting nonetheless!)
I have been keeping myself busy over the past couple months (wedding, new house, you name it!), but with us months away from the final season of LOST, it never truly leaves you for too long. Add on top of that the Blu-Ray release of seasons 1 and 2, so I've been trying to start my marathon viewing prior to season 6 (way behind on the LOST Re-Watch that has engulfed the LOST Blogosphere though). And of course, as much as I may annoy my new wife with my obsession, she still encourages it by letting me drink out of my DHARMA Station Pint Glasses every Wednesday (in honor of LOST) and even constructing a LOST Cake for the GROOM'S Cake at our wedding? Say what you will, but that tops anything that the Ace of Cakes Put together!
(yup, she and the best man even managed to swipe my Jack Action figure from my clutches and put it beside the cake too!)
Anyway, enough with updates on my LOST obsessed life! We're here to discuss Comic-Con 2009! Just like every other year, the Executive Producers of LOST (Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse) go into Radio Silence after the season finale until the massive Comic-Con event. This being their final panel at Comic-Con they pulled out all of the stops with lots of guests, funny bits and mind puzzling videos! (Although, I wonder if they reference the "CHER FAREWELL TOUR" comparison to indicate that it may NOT be their last comic-con panel.) Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend the panel in person, but thank the inventor of
TWITTER and YOUTUBE for making the world a small place! We have 4 video clips from the Comic-Con Panel below plus various other goodies that they unveiled to us. Naturally, we'll need to speculate what it all means. Without further adieu - The Comic-Con Clips!

Here's a video of Michael's Hurley audition tape. The audio kind of sucks so if anyone can find a better clip, post a follow-up comment!

Thanks Alex! That's fantastic. I embedded it into the blog post but will keep a look-out for one with some better audio. It's still hysterical!
Hopefully we eventually get an official picture for this. The supposed Final Season POSTER:
LOST THE FINAL SEASON
The picture was revealed at the beginning of the Comic-Con Panel unveiling one character at a time. The Poster reveals all main characters throughout the 5 seasons minus Nikki and Paolo.
In order "faraday , boone , miles , christian , ana lucia , juliet , penney , desmond , mr.eko , kate , jack , sawyer , john locke , ben , sayid , shannon , sun , jin , libby , hurley , claire . charlie . frank , richard , rose , bernard"
Good times!
I loved the lost cake.
In temrs of the new storytelling device; i wonder if we might get to see things through the eyes of the whispers since they were a big part of the first season, especailly if we are going to see old characthers. although we still don't know what the whispers are. Or maybe we get to see the thoughts of the smoke moster.
Interesting with the smoke monster or the whispers...that could totally make sense.
I just gotta hope these commercials aren't ACTUAL REALITY now or else things are gonna get pretty messy in terms of understanding the crazy show. Of course, TEAM DARLTON did say to Trust Them....so as I have for 5 seasons, I think I can for just one more!
I like the final season poster. Interesting that they had Locke standing with his back to us.
Here I found most of the clips. I think the only one missing is the memorium one.

Thought it was HUGE when they showed that Kate's stepdad did not die but that some employee of his did. Are they trying to show us that things will have changed ?? Probably just messing with us! LOL
Loved them using Hurley to again be our voice. And Jorge stating how wrong it would be if they just wiped out 5 years of viewing for us. Classic !
Thanks MJ! I think I have most of them on the site...I watched FAN videos but decided that they weren't as pertinent as the actual panel (although pretty darn funny! lol) The in memorium would be cool to see though. I didn't catch that yet.
Yeah, I'm going back and forth with what they were intending to show us with those commercials. I keep going back to them saying "TRUST US" and know they won't steer us in the wrong direction. But major kudos to them for putting the fear of the unknown into us all! lol
Vote for LOST on Sports Guy's TV show of the decade! http://tinyurl.com/mn5scr

Hey Mike, congrats on the wedding in 2009! It was great seeing your Lost wedding cake!
In your blog you wrote for season 6: "Perhaps the flashes will be to an alternate timeline with things that COULD HAVE BEEN had time been changed?" So you are already partially on board with my "It's a Wonderful Life" theory on season 6! And apparently the TV commercials for season 6 divulged that they would reset the timeline after all, so I sure hope we are right about showing "what could have been" instead of wiping out 5 seasons of the show.
Since I have season 6 all cued up on Netflix and I'm chomping at the bit, so I don't have the patience to watch all of the Comic-Con videos, but maybe I'll come back and watch them some day, because they sound like a lot of fun! (I did watch the TV commercial for Mr. Cluck's chicken, LOL!) I also haven't checked out the multitude of Lost extras that are floating around, key among them being stuff issued with the DVD sets. I'm just going straight with the actual TV episodes and presuming nothing critical is being left out (which I'm sure is the case).
But it is nice reading this blog post and hearing that certain things were confirmed or denied by the producers. I can't wait to get started on season 6, though I am a little nervous about seeing the first five minutes!
lol thanks Miles. That was the "Groom's Cake"...we had a traditional wedding cake. :-)
No comment on season 6 at this time. :-)
And you're 4 eps into season 6 already, so I gotta catch up to your comments!
It was awesome to watch these panels before going on to season 6. A week or two ago I found a panel from like mid-season 3 I think, and that was cool to watch too. I finished season 5 two days ago and I'm just waiting a bit before I start 6. I couldn't imagine watching it as fast as Miles did haha.
Given the title of the season 6 premiere episode, I'm not sure about my whole theory that I posted on The Variable blog haha, if you saw that. I trust the writers though, so I'm excited for whatever they had planned for the last season.
Sorry Super J! I saw you posted but I've been swamped at work! I'll have to go back and check your theory. But I'll let you watch for yourself to figure out if you were right or not. :)
Definitely trust the writers and keep an open mind! People went into that final season expecting every answer to every nook and cranny of a question they came up with in each episode that were never intended to be questions. The major questions are answered and I thought they did it well. I won't spoil here though! Enjoy the ride!
