This is devilishly clever marketing. Especially when you consider the freakishly obsessed quality of some Lost fans. (No one around here of course, heh.)

[Cassie Hughes]

ABC released spoiler details of the upcoming series finale of its spy drama Alias and the season finale of its hit SF series Lost.

Anyone want to bet that the Alias finale is gonna be 10X better than the Lost finale?

[goldenboy]

Lost will just be a cliffhanger. Hopefully, Alias will feel like some sense of resolution.

[prydain]

Yeah I'm sure the Alias finale will be big. I heard they went over budget and that ABC is most likely going to extend it to three hours instead of two. Which is cool. And the last few episodes? Amazing. It gets better every week.

I've been sort of weary of Lost lately, I dunno why. I think the finale will probably make me a huge fan again.

[Cassie Hughes]

J.J. Abrams, co-creator of ABC's hit SF series Lost, told SCI FI Wire that this year's season-ending cliffhanger will be even more powerful than last year's. Abrams, who took some time off to direct Mission: Impossible III, said that his co-creator for the series, Damon Lindelof, has an ending that surprised even him.

Bryan Burk, executive producer of ABC's hit series Lost, told SCI FI Wire that the upcoming May 24 season finale will answer a lot of questions about the island and the castaways. The two-hour finale, "Live Together, Die Alone," culminates the second season's building story arc.

[prydain]

Yeah, it better answer questions.

[prydain]

I think all this stuff is cool and all but at the same time I feel like it's sort of silly...I watch too many TV shows to devote this much time for LOST...if you ask me, this hurts the show more than anything. One reason the ratings are going down, I think, is the fact that casual viewers are responding negatively to all the hype and the obsessed Trek-like fanbase.

[eponinethen]

Lol. Yes please :)

[Black Eye Guy]

Yeah I just saw the add for it, on the ABC Website, It says hey answer why the plane crashed!!

The Emmy nominations this year suck soooooooooooooo bad.

[Cassie Hughes]

Stephen McPherson, president of ABC Entertainment, told reporters that he'll be happy to have Lost co-creator J.J. Abrams back working with his show, but added that it was "a shame" that Abrams decided to sign a development deal with Warner Brothers Television, cutting his ties with ABC's sibling studio Touchstone Television.

I'm extremely upset about this for some reason. JJ and Disney just seem to go together.

[teentitan]

Hey $55 million! Disney didn't want to pony up so I say good for JJ.

[Cassie Hughes]

The producers of ABC's hit Lost revealed hints about the upcoming third season in interviews with SCI FI Wire, including that series co-creator J.J. Abrams will co-write the season premiere episode "A Tale of Two Cities" and direct one later in the season.

[prydain]

Returns in October?! Damn you ABC!

Anyway, I'm thrilled to death that JJ will be somewhat involved with this season. I believe he was almost totally absent last year, so it will be nice that he's around a little now.

This season sounds VERY promising. I personally felt that season two was better than season one, and season three sounds even better. FINALLY, more action/adventure and it sounds like we'll get enough revelations to keep me happy for a while.

While I know most people are probably going to be pissed that we'll have a cliffhanger and then a 13-week break, I hope the mini-arc cliffhanger is HUGE, like twice as big as the second season finale. I don't know why but I want to be left begging for more, it will make the return in February all the better for me.

Anyhoo...I'm really looking forward to Lost this season.

[N4H]

I kind of like the new format myself, but hey to the important stuff. :)

Was that nutty chick at the convention for real, or was that a gag?

[prydain]

I think it was for the Lost Experience thing, sounded like an actress to me, lol. At least going by my impressions from the article.

[Bored of the Dead]

Of course it was an actress. In fact, i'd wager money that 'Rachel Blake' or at least the Blake name is going to be of some importance to the 3rd season.

Have you been to the 'HansoExposed' site yet?
Well if you do, look at how its designed. It has the feel of what you would expect from a 1980's internet service would be.
Its actually pretty amusing, but definitely professionally done.

Gotta give the creators Kudos for using this medium to its fullest extent.

Anyone wish to work as a team to try and gather ALL the pieces of this rather HUGE puzzle?

[Cassie Hughes]

Producers of ABC's hit Lost told SCI FI Wire that the show will consist of two self-contained arcs in the upcoming third season, while ABC announced that it will answer the mystery of Hurley's numbers in the alternate-reality game The Lost Experience.

[prydain]

If any one figures out the meaning of the numbers, tell me. Because I'm too lazy to try and play this game.

[Black Eye Guy]

They must have a real confidence in the amount of people playing the game to release such a huge detail in the game, although they will probably release it in the series to.

[Cassie Hughes]

Damon Lindelof, executive producer of ABC's hit SF series Lost, told SCI FI Wire that his co-creator, J.J. Abrams, is back and involved with the show after taking most of last season off to direct Mission: Impossible III.

[goldenboy]

This show's gonna set some kind of record. You'd think the cast was a washed-up rock band or something.

[N4H]

It's not just Lost. They can't like celebrities, or rich people driving around in Hawaii. So many get busted. It's those Hawaiian cops. I think they're all related to the cab drivers.

[goldenboy]

Wonder if the cops have a ticket quota to fill...plus all the pedestrian tourists milling around I suppose.

[N4H]

The political leader of the area where I live got busted on a DUI in Hawaii shortly after he was elected. He ran his political campaign on a law and order platform. It was funny when his mugshots first appeared in the paper. We laughed to think a political leader could get himself into such a mess, then we cried when we realized it was "our" leader.

[prydain]

Maybe those cops REALLY hate "Lost".

I haven't watched it yet due to the move and no TV and no Internet until literally ten minutes ago, but I'm about to go to ABC.com and watch it. So excited.

Good news. Yes.


Heck yeah it is.

[prydain]

Oh please. I hate when adult shows and movies get action figures. And rated R movies. What kids watch those?!

[prydain]

What a short and completely pointless article.
