Evangelinelilly_lost_290 Even though it's the off-season, we had quite a lot of new "Lost" information dropped on us this week. You'll be forgiven if you had a hard time wading through it all. Luckily, I was here to help try to make sense of things.

In case you missed anything, here's a handy list o' links to catch you up to speed:

  1. I told you what to expect going into Comic-Con 2009
  2. I then told you in exhaustive detail what went down at the Comic-Con 2009 "Lost" panel
  3. After that, I explored the various ways in which the alternate time lines hinted at during the panel might play out in Season 6
  4. Finally, I casted some light on another part of the show's universe: an impressive viral marketing campaign entitled "Lost University"

I'm sure you have plenty of questions in light of all that new information. So I want your questions. And to prove what a democratically inclined kinda guy I am, I'm going to let you choose the forum in which I answer them. Here are the options:

  1. "Letters from the Flame." I take your questions and answer them all in a Q&A style post next week.
  2. Podcast. Haven't done one in a while, so this could be fun. Plus, I might have a guest or two drop in on the action.
  3. Live chat. I'll use your questions to form the basis of a live chat next week in which we all gather around the electronic fire and share theories, take polls, and all lament our inability to actually attend Comic-Con in person.
  4. Semaphore. Just kidding.

Pick the forum you want in the poll below, and leave your questions in the comments section!

With the Oceanic commercial declaring 30yrs. of safety beginning in'79, do you think they will all somehow end up in 2009?


So many thoughts, so little time.

Watching "BlackLocke" kick Jacob into the fire screamed 'Phoenix!' to me, as if at some point late in S6, we'll learn that he needed to kick Jacob anywhere BUT into the fire.

There are so many ways in which Season 6 can tell it's story, and I for one am very excited to see what Darlton lays out for us come 2010.

Also, from the first scene of 'The Incident', it almost sounds like Jacob knows one step in this process is his 'death', as if it's necessary before the true 'end' can take place.

As for early S6 episodes, I'm seeing many familiar characters drawn together by a vague sense that something is a little off, and an eventual gathering that allows those more in the know to enlighten the confused. Maybe come November Sweeps.


Based on comments from various episodes, there seem to be different levels of 'equals' bound to certain rules regarding the island.

Obviously, Jacob v. Man in Black is the top level, and MIB had to bring a surrogate killer in the form of Ben. From 'The Shape of Things to Come', it seems clear that Charles and Ben are governed by those same rules. No reasons why, so far, but we will eventually find out.

I, for one, think that the second most of the O6 appeared on the Island circa 1977, all that happened between that scene and bomb detonation was already set in stone. That's why the numbers were heard on Ajira's radio, and why Dharmaville looks un-lived in since the DI left or was eliminated. That's a severe change from the New Otherton we've seen previously.

Big reach for me, but my prediction for S6 opener starts with on-island sequence involving Aaron, Ji Yeon, and maybe baby Charlie. Then, an extended scene of Oceanic 815 p***engers disembarking in LAX as planned. Just a guess.


Eric, November sweeps? Really? LOST hasn't aired in the fall since S3 dude.


Oh Lost how I love thee. I just got the first part of the Drak Tower series last night and all the talk about the man in black, makes me feel like if I continue the series(which I will, it's great so far) then perhaps when I get to season 6 I will be a bit more prepared for what is in store.

I am so excited for season six, have been but after the comic con panel and videos, I am SUPER excited. I think this season is going to be the best. I DO trust Darlton, nikki and paulo don't count, hehe.


I voted for Letters from the Flame but I wouldn't mind hearing another Lost-Cast too.


OK, looks like it'll be "Letters," but I'll need a few more questions to flesh out the article. Otherwise I'm gonna drop a YouTube video of me answering via interpretative dance.

Consider yourselves warned.


I vote all of the above.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLT ....

I don't think I've seen this question before. What is the true significance of the guitar that Jacob left with Hurley. Obviously, it's Charlie's, so does that mean Mr. Pace is all squnched up in there, or is that a representation of the bloody rock God, which will serve as the portal or whatever for his return? Answers, Ryan, answers.


Bloop!

What if, instead of seeing dead people, Hurley is able to see into an alternate universe, where they are still alive. When Hurley saw Charlie after his death, Charlie said, "I am dead, but I'm also here."
