Inner Tube: A crash course in 'Lost' story lines

"Realizing there's a whole load of folks who have no clue what's happened in past seasons of 'Lost,' ABC has put together an eight-minute, 15-second recap of the first three seasons.
'Lost in 8:15,' available at ABC.com and other Web sites, tells the story of the survivors of Oceanic Air's Flight 815.
The network will roll out an eight-episode fourth season of the critically praised drama Jan. 31 at 9 p.m.
The show, which stars Evangeline Lilly, Elizabeth Mitchell, Terry O'Quinn, Naveen Andrews, Michael Emerson, Matthew Fox, Jorge Garcia and many others, launched in September 2004 and quickly developed a following.
It hit some speed bumps in the most recent season, when viewers said the story got off-track. Since then, ABC and the show's producers have agreed to end the series in the 2009-10 season."

Lost

"ABC holds a narrow lead for the season in the 18- to 49-year-old demographic, thanks to freshman drama "Pushing Daisies" and the "Grey’s Anatomy" spinoff "Pri­vate Practice," which are helping the network conquer heavily con­tested Wednesday night.

Only half a rating point separates ABC from third-place CBS in the demo, with NBC sandwiched in between.

"Practice" overthrew NBC’s top-rated new show, "Bionic Woman," in their second airings, with "Bionic" falling sharply from its debut and "Practice" dipping only marginally. Combined with a strong premiere for "Practice" lead-in "Daisies" and a decent-performing second episode of "Dirty Sexy Money," ABC made gains in its efforts to add Wednesday to its win column this fall.

As ABC did last year when it pushed its chips to the center of the table by putting "Grey’s Anatomy" head-to-head against top-rated "CSI" and conquered Thursdays, the network took a scheduling risk this season by placing a trio of freshman shows on Wednesdays without the benefit of usual anchor "Lost" (which returns in February).

Last fall, ABC led on Wednesday out of the gate, but ceded the night to CBS when "Lost" went on early hiatus. This time, ABC wants to maintain ownership of the night for the full season."

Lost Season 4

Here I am

Lost won't end Sopranos-style (spoiler warning): Stuff.co.nz

"Three days after the controversial finale of The Sopranos, the two creators of Lost have promised that their hit ABC drama would not conclude in similarly murky fashion.


"We will not be ending with a blackout," said Carlton Cuse, referring to the black screen that delivered an unresolved ending to HBO's mob drama.

He and Damon Lindelof told electronic-media professionals at the annual Promax/BDA conference that they fleshed out a plan for the last three seasons of Lost during a recent writers' "minicamp."

Lost will end in spring 2010 after 48 hourlong episodes, 16 per season. Lindelof said "Lost" has to move from asking more questions to answering the questions posed during the series' run."

LOST Stars Heading to the Big Screen

"Several of LOST's stars will be either working on or appearing in various theatrical efforts while the show is on hiatus. With projects ranging from violent revenge thrillers, political intrigue, and suspenseful horror, LOST stars Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Naveen Andrews, and Josh Holloway shouldn't be too concerned about having been typecast by ABC's island drama."

'Lost' season finale leaves viewers torn - Life & Arts

Anti-Lost season finale
Those wonderful folks at ABC are very generous to remind their viewers how great their lives are. On "Lost," Jack pulls out his best Jesus Christ impression by far for the season finale. Look, he's got one hell of a beard to go with all that makeup. All the "I'm so hurt, but leave me alone" speeches, drug binges and unrequited love get old really damn quick. Aren't you "Lost" viewers lucky that Jack will be there to turn the other cheek next season?

Seriously though, the characters on the show have had long enough to develop into more than the one-dimensional comic books they still are. You've got Julia the robot from the clan of robots. I don't even care enough about her to know the actress's name. All she does is squint her eyes, glare and puff out her pouty lips when she's done talking. Sawyer is the classic bad boy with a soft side. Ben is the soulless cult leader.

Charlie Disappointed About His Departure on Lost

"The third season of Lost already aired its final episode, in which rocker Charlie Pace, played by Dominic Monaghan, has been killed off. And like many fans, the 30-year old actor doesn’t seem to be pleased with the idea of his exit on the award-winning show that catapulted him to stardom.

Monaghan has been working as a cast member on Lost since 2004 until his character met his untimely death while attempting to save other islanders in 2007. However, Monaghan insists that series’ creators could have opted for another less likeable character to kill off the show. "I think lots of people are gonna be pretty pissed off. Especially as there are others on the show they are more keen on having disappear," he has said."

'Lost' star Charlie to depart cult series

"Dominic Monaghan has some advice for UK Lost fans as they tune in to see the gripping end to the third series next month. 'Get your Kleenex and hang on for the ride,' he says. The British actor promises viewers will see his character, ex-rock star Charlie Pace, at his most selfless and heroic as he bows out of the hit drama."

Lost (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Lost is an Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning American serial drama television series that follows the lives of a group of plane crash survivors on a mysterious tropical island, somewhere in the South Pacific. Each episode also features a storyline from a character's past or (in one case) future. The show was created by J. J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, and Jeffrey Lieber, and is filmed primarily on location in Oahu, Hawaii.[1] The pilot episode was first broadcast on September 22, 2004.[2] Since then, three seasons have aired. The show is produced by ABC Studios, Bad Robot Productions and Grass Skirt Productions and airs on the ABC Network in the United States. Its incidental music is composed by Michael Giacchino. The current executive producers are J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse, Jack Bender, Jeff Pinkner and Bryan Burk.[3] Because of its large ensemble cast and the cost of filming in Hawaii, the series is one of the most expensive on television.[4]
A critical and popular success, Lost garnered an average of 15.5 million viewers per episode on ABC during its first year, and won numerous industry awards including the Emmy Award for outstanding drama series in 2005[5] and best American import at the British Academy Television Awards also in 2005.[6]"
