The new season of Lost starts tonight. I really can’t wait. I maybe should have watched last week’s 3 hours for the recap. But I know they all need to go back to the island. There is still so many questions I have. (I also bought the Lost computer game for my cell phone! I am such a dork!)

One thing that is said to be prominent this season…time shifting…I know the flashbacks and flashforwards are a huge part of the show.

“Lost” executive producer Carlton Cuse says navigating between the past, present and future is a challenge but the potential for exciting storytelling makes it worthwhile.

Also, some good news. Sawyer is in it a lot this season. And for a special treat.. we get to see a shirtless Sawyer tonight! How exciting…go Sawyer go!

Lost kinda ticked me off in it’s season finale…not only did it take a year for them to answer the question of who was in the coffin. It totally confused me more. I think that episode had a lot of holes in it which I was really surprised by. But, with that all being said what is in store for Season 5, SPOILERS AHEAD…

Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse recently took the stage of the ABC Press Tour and spilled a couple of Lost Season 5 secrets.

Damon says that they are definitely working on how they will manage the split casts next season… what with the Oceanix Six off island and the remaining losties still stuck! “We have that [issue] intensely in mind,” Damon says. He says that they find that separating characters geographically and emotionally is a valuable storyline tool for them, but they’re aware that they can only do that for so long before audiences get impatient.

Damon continued speaking about Season 5, saying “This is a tricky year for us. This is like The Two Towers [portion of The Lord of the Rings saga] … it links us to the final season.” They know what they’ve wanted to do in the final season for a long time, but it’s a challenge to make THIS season engaging and exciting. “The worst thing we could ever do on the show is for the show to be boring … If we’re going to be bad, we’re going to be spectacularly bad.”

Damon and Carlton also chatted a big about Harold Perrineau’s recent outspoken ideas regarding Michael’s death. “The show has to be an equal-opportunity murderer … We’ve killed a lot of white people. And I can almost guarantee we will be killing more white people this season,” Damon relates.

Hmmm, I can only imagine what is in store… Can’t wait! But, I hope they pick a fast forward or a flashback…I was so obessed I couldn’t watch the show until I knew what it was.
