About LOST as a tv show, the network and general behind the scenes stuffWhen is LOST coming back? I'm tired of waiting!
Season 4 will premiere in the US on Thursday January 31, 2008 at 9pm EST. The first eight episodes willbelow airor on Thursdays at 9pm.
How will the writer's strike affect LOST?
The late start that many complained about is actually benefiting us. Eight episodes of season four were finished before the strike started. If the strike isn't settled in the near future (or if an actor strike begins in April), then just the eight episodes will air without breaks. That's more new episodes than any other series has ready to go for the spring.
The promo for next week's episode said that questions would be answeredpage and/or something shocking would happenyou andthink it DIDN'T! I should blame the writers for this, right?
Not at all. The writers and producers have no input on the promos whatsoever. That's the ABC Marketing Department. Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse (two executive producers who do The Official LOST Podcast) have expressed their frustration at this, too, butfall it probably won't change.under.
I missed the latest episode of LOST; where can I watch it?

What about YouTube and BitTorrent? And aren't there some LOST sites that host the episodes? Should I link to one?
  • That would be really helpful to people trying to see the episodes, but not helpful to the sites. This site is run by Wetpaint.com (though with a team of independent moderators), so you never know what legal eyes might be scanning for copyright infringement. Don't advertise illegal ways of getting LOST.

About the storylines and plot of LOST:LOST

What's the deal with Tallahassee?
References to Tallahassee, FL seem to have started out as a joke that has turned into an animosity between the city of Tallahassee and the writers. Perhaps some of the writers are democrats and disliked the governor at the time (Jeb Bush, brother to President George W. Bush); perhaps someone on staff is a Gator or a 'Cane (the Florida State Seminoles' chief rivals in college football); perhaps they just thought the name was funny. We may never know. What happened to Rose and Bernard? Did The Others get them? Is it a conspiracy?
As answered on a podcast episode by Carlton Cuse, while Rose and Bernard are still around, the actors that portray them have other gigs to do. The producers don't want to make them fly down to Hawaii just to hang out in the background of Nikki and Paulo's funeral. They will, however, return in "Greatest Hits." So if the plane was found and everyone was dead, it's purgatory, right? And the producers have lied to us? PS: They're lying about the nanobots, too, right?
  • No. As stated on the April 30, 2007 podcast, the island is still not purgatory and there are some other options for the parachutist's statement. Likewise, they would not go back on something they'd repeatedly said was not true as is the cast with the Black Smoke = Nanobots theory.
