Lost Starts Tonight on The Sci Fi Channel
Just a brief reminder that the first season of Lost will begin playing tonight on the Sci Fi Channel. According to the schedule on SciFi.com, it all starts at 7 PM EST with the pilot episode.
We wrote a very detailed post about all of this a week or two ago, plus information about G4TV.com, which is also debuting their Lost 2.0 today at the same time.
Fringe Recap: “Pilot”
An international flight, Flight 627, headed from Germany to Logan Airport, Boston, MA, USA lands with no survivors aboard. The FBI are brought in to investigate and uncover a world of paranormal, fringe science where it seems anything can happen. After chase scenes, both on foot and by car, an explosion, a mad scientist, a cow, and lots of twists and turns, we learn that the dead do speak, as long as they have been dead for less than six hours.
Is Charles Widmore the next Lost Character to be Killed Off?
No, Alan Dale didn’t get arrested for drunk driving like some past cast members who ended up getting offed soon thereafter.
But the man who plays the mysterious Charles Widmore on Lost may have done something equally damaging in the eyes of fans and possibly the show’s producers.
Digital Spy did an interview with Dale before he left for Hawaii to begin shooting the fifth season, where production starts shortly. When asked a question about whether he’s invested in the show, or follows all the twists and turns, his answer was astounding:
Begin the Lost Journey All Over Again (or for the first time)
Beginning on September 15th, you’ll have two different ways to either watch Lost from the beginning for the first time, or to do it all over again. It just depends on who you are.
For me, I’ll be loving the idea of re-visiting the first season. You get one of the most exciting pilots in a long time (which cost about $10 million to make I believe) and that begins an action-packed and surprise-filled season.
Ana Lucia is back on Lost?
Apparently the Lost DUI kiss of the death has a statute of limitations.
Ana Lucia, played by Michelle Rodriguez, will be making an appearance in episode two of the upcoming season of Lost. If you recall (and if you watch the show, how could you forget?) Ana was blown away by Michael in season two.
Most speculated that the death was a direct result of her habit of driving while intoxicated and then getting caught.
Photos from the One Tree Hill season 6 premiere!
I’m a huge fan of good, quality television. Shows like Lost, Battlestar Galactica and 30 Rock are examples of just how great TV can be when smart people put their heads together.
And then you have those guilty pleasure shows that just appeal to the inner-you, for whatever reason. I’ve had a ton of those in recent years, such as Felicity, Gilmore Girls, The O.C. and now One Tree Hill.
Lost adding two shady characters
You know it’s a long ways until Lost starts when the production for season five doesn’t even begin for 12 more days.
Are you kidding me? I swear this wait for Lost and BSG is excruciatingly slow and I’m not sure I’m going to make it.
So as Lost is fond of doing, we’re getting some new characters this coming year and per usual, they are as mysterious as the ones we already know about.

Comic-Con: The Dharma video from the Lost panel
Nope, I didn’t record this video but as long as it’s up and available online, I’m going to pass it on to you guys.
During the Lost live blog we did here at Pop Critics on Saturday, I told you all about a special Dharma video that we were treated to that featured Dr. Marvin Candle, now known as Pierre Chang.
Comic-Con: The creators of Lost, Chuck, Gossip Girl, Sarah Connor and Pushing Daisies talk genre TV
One of the main panels I wanted to attend at Comic-Con was Entertainment Weekly’s Visionaries group which featured the brilliant minds behind Lost, Chuck/Gossip Girl, Pushing Daisies and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
The topic of discussion was genre television and how these guys are at the forefront of change in storytelling on the small screen and what is happening with their individual series.
