We're still over a month away from the premiere of Lost's fifth season, but thankfully we only have to wait a week until the release of the long-awaited season 4 DVD set. Lost executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse recently held a round table discussion to promote the DVDs, and they also ended up revealing some interesting tidbits about season 5. Will upcoming episodes still feature flashbacks? Will the Oceanic Six spend the entire season trying to get back to the island? If Magazine attended the discussion and got the answers to these and other burning questions.

Over the years, fans have witnessed the disappearance and “death” of several characters on Lost. Michael Dawson (Harold Perrineau) was killed in an explosion on the Kahana while trying to deactivate a bomb, Mr. Eko (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) met his end at the hands of the smoke monster, Charlie Pace (Dominic Monaghan) drowned while trying to help the survivors communicate with the outside world and Claire (Emilie de Ravin) mysteriously disappeared with her dead biological father. Despite their absence on the ABC series, fans have never really abandoned the idea that they would someday resurface. Luckily, the dead doesn't have to stay dead in the world of Lost.
Below you will find some of the names of “dead” Lost characters that would possibly return for the upcoming season.
There are no details about upcoming plots and spoilers but if you don't want to find out who's returning, stop reading now!

The Lost team has always taken great pride in providing their fans with the best DVDs possible. They are chock-full of extras and special features. One of my holiday rituals the past couple years has been re-watching the previous Lost season with my brothers before the premiere in January. I will surely be doing the same this year. The Lost: Season 4 DVD hits shelves on December 9, and the full specs are now available. Once again, there are a ton of special features, plus four enticing episode commentaries, if you're into that sort of thing. The season will also be available on Blu-Ray (if you have Blu-Ray, I am jealous.) Below you will find the list of contents for the Lost: Season 4 DVD set.

Lost – only two months away. Eight weeks. Or so. The Lost machine has been well-greased since season 4 came to an end last May, with little spoiler noise emanating from the Lindelof-Cuse team regarding the upcoming season 5. Either that, or I've managed to stay away from internet-prevalent spoilers in the last half year. Either way, some tidbits have emerged as we continue to creep closer to the Lost season 5 premiere. I would qualify some of the information posted below as spoilers, but they could be misdirections. Who knows? This is Lost, and Lost doesn't give-away all that much. But, judge for yourself. I will place the spoiler warning below regardless.
MINOR SPOILERS, (THOUGH POSSIBLY NON-SPOILERS)!!!

There has been much speculation regarding where Scrubs, now on ABC, will end up on the schedule when it returns for its eighth, and likely final, season. A proposed mid-season schedule for ABC has been unearthed on Zap2It, and it provides ample insight into what ABC might be thinking come January. The proposed schedule, which has supposedly been given to advertisers, places Scrubs on Wednesday nights at 8pm, the slot currently held down by critical gem Pushing Daisies. Interestingly, the schedule has Scrubs in both the 8pm and 8:30pm time slots. What this means is unclear. Will ABC burn off two new episodes of Scrubs per week, as NBC once did? Or is one of those slots simply a place holder while ABC decides what other show to place next to Scrubs?

Aside from Jack Bauer's harsh interrogation techniques, few things are more torturous than waiting for new episodes of Lost. The show ends each season with a nail-biting cliffhanger, then disappears for months while fans go crazy with speculation. The wait can be rather maddening, but it's something we've grown accustomed to over the years. Lost is one of the most addictive shows on television, so maybe it's natural that we go through painful withdrawal symptoms while waiting for new episodes to return.
It's been ages since the season 4 finale left our minds spinning, but the wait for Lost season 5 is nearly over. The series returns to ABC on Wednesday, January 21 at 8pm, kicking off with a one-hour recap special followed by a two-hour premiere. Lost will then settle into its new time slot of Wednesdays at 9pm for the remainder of season 5.
