LOST: The Pre-Season Report

It would be futile to try and predict how the season’s going to open beforehand, since they’ve messed with our heads at every opportunity. I will say, however, that I really hope Season Six keeps up the tradition of opening with a scene of a character getting ready in the morning. (Desmond in Season Two, followed by Juliet, a post-Island Jack, and the 70’s version of Dr. Marvin Candle.) It’s been widely reported that many former cast members will be returning this season, but they could be Hurley’s visions, Island Magic, flashbacks, or even the products of a rebooted timeline. Even Harold (Michael) Perrineau, who kind of freaked out when his character was killed is making a comeback. One thing we do know is that Flight 316 Survivor Ilana and the ageless Richard “Batmanuel” Alpert will be regulars this season, as will a returning Claire. (They all get seats at the table in the Last Supper ads.)
