"Lost star Josh Holloway narrowly risked disaster as he relaxed in Hawaii today. His low-slung boarder shorts looked as if they were about to fall down as he enjoyed a cigarette. The 40-year-old was accompanied by his Indonesian wife Yessica Kumala and their seven-month-old daughter Java Kumala Holloway. Josh, who plays Sawyer in Lost, was last year named one of the top ten sexiest TV stars. He will soon be moving on, with filming nearly over for the sixth and final series of the hugely successful show. And with the end of the show, based around a group of aircrash survivors stranded on a desert island, questions will be answered. 'We will answer a lot of the mysteries,' said producer Carlton Cuse. 'For example, what's the Four-Toed Statue? What's the Smoke Monster?' Throughout the last five years, fans have constantly been surprised by the twists and turns of the plotline. Matthew Fox, who plays the show's flawed hero Jack Shephard, said he was equally confused. 'Every week I get surprised. There have been so many plot twists that I never see coming.'"

"The poster for the final season has been revealed, showing us the characters we can expect to see this season: TV Guide identifies the characters as follows: Faraday, Boone, Miles, Michael, Ana Lucia, Charlotte, Shannon, Desmond, Eko, Kate, Jack, Sawyer, Locke, Ben, Sayid, a young blond woman resembling Libby or Penny, Sun, Jin, Claire, Hurley, Juliet, Charlie, Frank, Richard, Bernard and Rose. The assessment on Libby might not be accurate, however, since Jorge Garcia has said we won't be seeing Libby in the final season. [TV Guide] As for Penny, actress Sonya Walger isn't even sure if she's in the final season. [TV Guide]"

She also calls Michael, "The Crybaby". LOL It's funny watching this with her. I have to cover her eyes over a lot of the sex and violence I don't want her to see, so she gets frustrated. It's neat that she gets the flashbacks and her shock over the connections of people equals my own when I first saw them. She even has favorite characters already.

"Apparently, the first episode of the new season is going to be so laden with twists and turns that the producers have convinced ABC not to show a single frame before it airs.

1st Episode of FlashForward has Penny from Lost and a billboard of Oceanic Airline. Preview for Week 2 has Charlie!! Intriguing. Other Lost fans watching??
"So apparently all the filming that's been taking place, involving the safe landing of Oceanic flight 815, is from the season's third episode, entitled "What Kate Does." And there are tons of set reports and inside dirt. Apparently, on the plane, Jack and Cindy the stewardess talk about drinks, and Rose waits for Bernard to get back from the bathroom — then there's turbulence, but Bernard returns from the bathroom in one piece. Charlie gets sick and calls out for a doctor. Boone is annoyed at not being in first class, and Boone and Locke have some words. When the plane lands, the sickly Charlie is led off the plane first and Locke is put in his wheelchair. Dr. Arzt recognizes Hurley as "that Chicken Shack guy" and asks him to say his catch phrase. Jin and Sun are talking in Korean, and Jin is being a jerk again. Meanwhile, Jack is upset because his father's coffin has gone missing, and the funeral is in two hours. As for Kate, she's handcuffed to the U.S. Marshall, but gives him the...

" Meanwhile, the show is also prepping some new and old props and set pieces. There's an archway we haven't seen before, and a weird staircase, and some pillars with old symbols on them. There's also the pillar that Locke's dad was tied to when Ben wanted Locke to kill him, the Hatch door, the Submarine, and the well Locke fell down on his way to the Orchid station last year. Plus some airplane windows. More pics at the link. [The ODI]"

Before you read it let me add some fuel to the fire, I have heard of some of these rumors as well and we have seen several reports about speculation about the return of Boone, Shannon and Charlie, soooo why not everyone else!? Are the writers setting up a reset!? Are they just looking to tie up loose ends and see who IS indeed available!??! What do you all think!? Hi all, I've been sent through some very nice information from a casting agency rep, which whilst I cannot confirm 100% I believe to be pretty accurate from what else I've heard from other sources.

"We all know that on ABC's "Lost," time is extremely relative. So why not throw an extra hour into the mix? The sixth and final season will run 18 hours, an hour longer than originally announced. This isn't exactly earth-shattering news, granted, but for "Lost" fans heading into the final lap, every minute counts. Though the reason for the extra time hasn't been confirmed, one insider said that the producers felt they had some extra story to tell in the final season. "Lost" starts shooting later this summer."

"Two months removed from the dramatic season 5 finale of ABC’s “Lost,” fans are still left clamoring over what will happen to the surviving passengers of Oceanic flight 815. But fans aren’t the only ones left in the dark, even the show’s stars are uncertain of what’s to come on the island. “I know exactly as much as you do at this point,” Michael Emerson told AccessHollywood.com at Tuesday night’s premiere for season 2 of HBO’s “True Blood” in Hollywood (his wife, Carrie Preston, plays waitress Arlene in the show). “Honestly, and I won’t know another thing about it until two days before the cameras roll and they give me a script. And I’m sure it will make my hair stand on ends when I see it.”"

"The last scene of ABC's Lost won't just finish the island drama, according to show writer and producer Jack Bender; it'll also finish epic television dramas in general... for awhile, at least. Hyperbole, or does he know something we don't? Bender was speaking at the Banff World Television Festival, where the island drama won the Rocky Award for best continuing series this weekend. But, according to him, Lost's status as the final epic TV drama has less to do with the show itself as it does the changing face of television:"

"It's going to be one of the last huge television shows in terms of size of cast and scope of production... Given the fact that network television is changing, it may be one of the last great rides of this kind of big epic storytelling. That's not to say there won't be another great big old show that is a serialized show in the future, [b]ut for awhile I think it's going to be smaller and more procedural."
- RAPatton
The writer/producer is so sure that people will feel so cheated and disappointed that they'll take a break for a while?
- Jemm
I thought the title was pretty misleading, but the comments about the changing face of television are true. Compared to when it began airing, LOST's main rivals are now either procedural, or reality shows. There's very little scripted television, and what there is usually finds itself in "case of the week" territory, whether it is a hospital or a police station.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I think producing reality TV generally speaking is a lot cheaper than producing something like LOST. With decreasing network TV revenues this idea would seem plausible to me.
