Let me start by confessing that as someone who has seen every episode of “Lost” since Flight 815 crashed onto the island in 2004 (or was it?), I have characters that are my favorites and others that bore me to tears. For example, I loathe Jack and the whiney, put-upon way that Matthew Fox plays him, and for contrast, I love Sawyer and how Josh Holloway can make you root for a character you’re not sure you should even like. So naturally, if I know that characters I generally dislike, say Jack or Kate, are going to be the focus of an entire episode, I tend to lower my expectations because more often than not, the episode, for me at least, will just be blah. On occasion, I’m surprised, as I was by last week’s enjoyable Kate-centric episode.
If the trailers I’m seeing for the fifth season of ABC’s Lost are any indication, apparently half of the castaways have made it back to land, while the other half are still trapped on the island. I think. Being that I don’t watch Lost, or indeed have seen a full episode even once, I couldn’t tell you what the fifth season will be about, or what’s happened to whom. But in case you wanted a hint, here are three new promos for the show’s upcoming Season 5. “Destiny Calls” seems to be the motto for the new season.
New episodes of ABC’s Lost doesn’t return until April 24th, but the show’s executive producers, Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, recently spilled some details about some upcoming Season 4 episodes. Included are: the smoke monster returns; more about that weird four-toed statue, and what exactly happened to Claire, played by Emilie de Ravin? Also, Jack and Locke finally throws down in the season finale.
Pushing Daisies fans rejoice, because your show is coming back for a second season. ABC has just released their list of shows that have been renewed for an additional season, and Pushing Daisies was among them. No surprise, Lost was also on the list, since that’s pretty much the only show ABC has in its stable that people actually bothers to talk about.
To absolutely no one’s surprise, the return of Lost to the line-up in a season plagued by the writer’s strike and way too many reality TV shows netted ABC a major victory. The network scored a whopping 16.1 million, 6.7 rating/17 share in adults 18-49 in the Nielsen, up from last year’s Season 3 finale (13.7 million, 5.8/15). 
So, you haven’t been keeping up with your Lost TV episodes? Missed one or two episodes of Season 1, 2, or maybe Season 3? Or how about if you’re like me, and you haven’t been watching Lost at all? Well ABC has released a 9 minute video that recaps Lost Seasons 1 through 3 for ya.
