Lost show runners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are here to take your fan questions here and, apparently, give out relevant prizes, and it'll all be liveblogged here!

Q's and A's are paraphrased. This will be updated frequently, so check back often. Vids of key moments coming soon.

Q: When the hatch imploded and the sky turned purple? Did the Island move then?
A: No. But something happened. Prize: Oceanic water bottle.

Q: What is the fate of Jin and Locke?
A: Jin will still be on the show in some form. You've not seen the last of either of those characters. Prize: Jin panda bear.

Q: Best episode and best season, in your opinion?
Carlton: "The Constant" is my favorite episode, and season one.
Damon: "Exodus" and the raft launch before the show disintegrated into utter despair. I also like season four. Prize: Apollo bar and Apollo bar T-shirt.

Q: What's up with the reflection in the season four promos where the city was in the reflection in the water?
A: That was all about the Oceanic Six getting off the Island. Prize: Heroes DVD

Q: Will there be a Rousseau flashback?
A: We will see Rousseau's story, to use the word flashback might be disingenious. Damon: We're steering away from the flashes. Prize: I Am Lost luggage tags.

Q: What's up with the actors strike?
A: We're supposed to start in three weeks at least until further notice changes that plan. Prize: Photo of Nikki & Paolo.

Q: Any special guests this year?
A: No actors. Sorry. Prize: Actor-signed DVD box set.

Q: What happened to Vincent?
A: What about what happened the Island and Sawyer and Juliet? Vincent's OK and will appear in season five. Safe to say: Vincent's gonna make it to the end. Prize: Little polar bear.

Q: Are Jack and Kate your show's one true pariring?
A: Carlton: Personally I like those two, professionally I'm going to take the Fifth. Prize: Jack action figure.

Ah, we've been had again. MATTHEW FOX is so totally here. Photos coming soon!


Q: Will Kate ever see Sawyer again?
DL: Not if Jack has anything to say about it. CC: Yes. Kate will see Sawyer again. Prize: Signed poster.

Q: What happened to non-speaking "beachies" who were ferried over to the blowed-up boat from the season four finale?
A: They dead. Faraday is probably gonna be OK. Prize: Authentic Faraday tie.

Damon Q to Matthew Fox: Do you know the meat-socks/redshirts, i.e. those who died on the boat?
MF: Yep. They're always there and very professional.

Q: Is there a limit to how far the flashes can go back and forth in time?
A: We're going to tell stories in a new and exciting way. This year, when season five starts, you're not going to know when and where you are. CC: There will be storytelling both on and off the Island and in different periods of time. Guy who makes wooshing sound will remain employed. Prize: Hanso Foundation hat.

Q: Just between me and you, how does this show end?
A: It ends well, we hope.
Q: Can I have some Jin?
DL: The alcohol or the character?
Prize: Dharma beer

Q: How old is Richard Alpert and does he have six toes?
A: Not tellin'. We will see Richard Alpert barefoot in the very near future and that's pun intended: the very near future. Prize: "I asked a Richard Alpert question and all I got was this lousy T-shirt" T-shirt

Damon Q to Matthew Fox: How old do you think Richard Alpert is?
MF: 125 years old. DL: Wrong.

Q: Regarding Locke's pseudonym of Jeremy Bentham, and one of his big things was the panopticon, are the people on the Island people being watched and by who?
A: Good question. [Interrupted by new Martin Candle video drama. That video? Coming soon right here!]

That's all for now kiddos. Check back soon for photos and video from the panel and in the not-too-distant future, my exclusive backstage interview with Mr. Matthew Fox himself! In the meantime, post your comments and Q's on the panel below, and we'll work on dragging more answers out of the powers that be in the very near future.


AAAHHH MAN

CANT WAIT FOR SEASON 5!

Im going to be sooo sad over crimbo and watch all 4 series to get back up to speed!!
 
Lost's fifth-season premiere is still at least four months away, but I've just gotten some exclusive insight into next year's stories.


In particular, I can now tell you why it is that the Oceanic Six must all reunite in order to get back to the Island.


Want to know why Kate (with baby Aaron), Jack, Sayid, Hurley and Sun are going to have to put their differences aside and go "all for one, and one for all" this year?


Well, remember what Michael Emerson recently said about Ben's statement that if any of them are to return to the Island, everyone who escaped has to go back too? He said, "I think [that dictate is] a scientific condition of the mechanism by which the Island operates. I don't think it's an esoteric or spiritual issue, I think it's science."

He wasn't just talking pretty. What I'm hearing is that the reason Jack, Kate, Sayid, Sun and Hurley need to reunite is because the Oceanic Six need to fan out to a group of Dharma stations.

Even more intriguing? According to my source, these stations are not on the Island, but in other locations, and these off-Island stations are believed to be the ticket to getting back to the Island.

(Remember, the Island moved in the finale. The Island may have gone to another place...or it may have hopped into another time.)

So how does this all work? And where in the world are these stations? We'll have to tune into what is looking like an exciting fifth season in order to see.

In the meantime, my source hints that we have seen at least one of these powerful places before.

Just bought the season four set on Blu-Ray and it's as good as watching it the first time I saw it :-)

I can't wait for season five.

Season 4 is fantastic, Season 1 was so good becasue of the character building which will be needed to understand the whole shows philosophy.

I've each episode of season 4 on a HDD, the americans release them on a torrent straight after its aired in the US meaning they're really good quality too.

I could go into what i think the shows all about but it would take a while and i guess we'd need spoilers.

rumour has it that faraday is radzinkski

Which one's radzinski?

I shut off from Lost when its off otherwise i'd go crazy thinking about it!!

I'm sure when its all concluded in two series time, it'll be looked back on as one of the finest TV series ever.


Oh and thanks for posting this!


u know when dezmond 1st came to this island, there was that guy who was in the hatch. his partner, razinski who killed himself (apparently). word has it faraday (who hinted that he has already been n the island) is him. ive just confused myself now!

bloomoon 73, series 4 is, IMO, the best one, absolutly quality!

Apart from the beard they're completley different looking...

I think Faraday has witnessed all the events before becasue the button they were pressing in Series 1/2 was keeping the island in a time bubble at some point in 1996. Faraday can time travel too so perhaps he's been forward in time at some point and has been told about everything and the role he will play but becasue "time travel" on this show is via your conciousness rather than actual 'matter' moving through time, its always hard to remember everything clearly.

I thought that the "Adam and Eve" the Losties found in the cave in series one was perhaps Faraday and Charlotte, that may be proved or disproved as we find out more about them.

AAARRRGGHHH MY HEAD HURTS haha

i really hope they dont mess the last 2 series up, im sure they wont
 
Haha... look at the monumental can of worms you've opened!

I'd stored everything "Lost" tidily away at the back of my brain til next year... now you're bringing everything out again!

Think they've basically got the overall storyline sorted now they know where the finish line is.

I hope that these last two series are the best and i reckon they will be.

I have a horrible feeling it's all going to be about God or something religious.

I've got the feeling its the complete opposite and its all about Science.

Although you can already see Locke vs Jack = Faith vs Science


Perhaps it'll end with the cheesey "You need faith and science to work together to prosper" kind of Americano ending - i hope not!

The title of this show pretty much sums up the mindset of its writers.

not a fan then? you just have to suspend belief for 45mins, just like most decent tv shows

Come on, it's been dreadfully spun out due to its success. You can't seriously believe it was meant to last this long?
 
I've a question about Lost.

Why the fuck would you start a TV show whish is so confusing/convoluted and have absolutely no clue where you're going with it?!!! It's the most confusing, disjointed and random show I've ever seen. I don't believe anyone actually knows what's going to happen, I doubt the writers had even thought about series 4 or 5 when they went into production with series 1!!!!!

Exactly. Stateside, shows are often cancelled at the drop of a hat (Firefly, anyone?), so Lost could easily have been canned and finished satisfactorily inside 12 episodes. As it turned out, it was a monster hit, some exec bangs a fist on a table and a team of writers are just making it up.

if you watch it religiously you will know whats going on.

johnny, so what ifits dragged out? heroes was only meant for 1 series and series 3 has been amazing

Season 6 of 24 was the best yet
