While ABC has never had a ton of sci-fi content on the air at one-time, the company did successfully combine Lost and Invasion onto one night a few years back, which helped Invasion enough to at least give it a full season. It appears that ABC will be trying a similar stunt with the return of Lost, as it seems Wednesdays will become a three-hour block of sci-fi with Pushing Daisies at 8PM, Lost at 9PM, and then Life On Mars at 10PM.

If ABC does go ahead with the plans, it will be one of the best three-hour blocks of television currently on the air, finally giving NBC's Monday night block of Chuck, Heroes, and My Own Worst Enemy a run for its money.

It's been a long time since last we saw the Island and the Oceanic Six on the TV screen, but the fifth season of Lost will have its premiere episode on January 21, 2009 with a three-hour premiere: a 1-hour recap clip show and then the two-hour premiere. Lost is also returning to Wednesday nights, where it will air in the 9PM timeslot.

Woohoo! Lost! It's been a long time (and still some months to go), but the first promo trailer for Lost's fifth season has been released...or leaked. Anyways, it doesn't matter, just as long as we get to watch it. It actually features some footage from the upcoming season and showing just what might be planned for the Oceanic Six among others.

When it comes to Lost, nobody stays dead. Whether it's Jack's dad, Charlie, Boone, Shannon, or whoever, the island just won't let anyone rest in peace. The latest walking dead/possible figment/ghost/whatever is Horace Goodspeed, played by Doug Hutchison. For those who don't remember, Goodspeed was the man who invited Ben's father to the island to work before it all went to hell. We saw Goodspeed appear last year, but how will he be used this season?

When last we left Claire, she had just disappeared, leaving baby Aaron alone, only to later appear to Locke in Jacob's cabin, chilling with her father. I hope you got a good look at her then, because you won't be seeing her at anytime during Lost's fifth season. She will return for the final sixth season, however, so stay tuned for that. She didn't have too much to do last season, but just to write her out for a full season...hopefully she'll at least be mentioned and not completely forgotten for a year.

J.J Abrams still has his name attached to the phenomenal sci-fi hit Lost, but he hasn't been too involved with the show since the first season. He's got a lot of stuff going on - such as Fringe just starting up - but he is interested in returning to maybe direct an episode during the final season of Lost.

"I would love to come in and do an episode during the [final] season, for sure," said Abrams.

It's not uncommon for the dead to return to Lost in one way or another, either appearing in flashbacks, as ghosts (I think they are ghosts), or hallucinations. The latest dead castaway to be returning is Michelle Rodriguez' Ana-Lucia, but no definitive word yet on if she'll be appearing in the present or in a flashback of some nature.

If one star wants more money then they all want more money. We've seen this happen before where one or two stars get a bit of a raise in their paycheck, and then the other castmembers start thinking the same thing and threaten not working in order to get their share. Unless ABC can work this out to please everyone besides Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly, Lost fans might be mad real soon. Hopefully ABC will pay everyone what they deserve, clean the matter up, and Lost fans get their Lost episodes without delay and any changes.

Lost is already on borrowed time now that everyone knows when the series is going to officially end. The writer strike screwed up a lot of shows last season, and Lost fans were not happy that three episodes were forced to be done away with in order to get the season done. Would those three episodes be gone forever? As it turns out - no. The new season will have three additional episodes, making up for the lost ones last season.
