I love me my Lost news. Let’s get right to it!
Remember that exclusive image I posted from Comic Con a while back now? Well here it is in all it’s visible glory! From left to right we can make out Faraday, Boone, Miles, Michael, Ana Lucia, Charlotte, Shannon, Desmond, Eko, Kate, Jack, Sawyer, Locke, Ben, Sayid, Libby, Sun, Jin, Claire, Hurley, Juliet, Charlie, Frank, Richard, Bernard, and Rose. Notice Locke is facing away for reasons not fully explained yet. Who is missing from the poster is equally important: Walt, Nikki, and Paulo. Well, maybe not so much the latter two. But where’s Walt?? WALT!!! He was a season regular back in the beginning, and it is strange that he is not featured here alongside his season regulars (and some non-regulars) from over the years. Check out the gallery below for up close shots of the poster to see for yourself.
In related news, EW has reported that Ian Somerhalder (Boone) is en route to Hawaii. This can mean only one thing. In fact Somerhalder confirms it: “I’m literally getting on a plane in 45 minutes to fly to Hawaii. The only thing I can say is that I’m going back for several episodes….I have a script that weighs like 200 pounds, but I don’t really know what’s happening.” This pretty much officially confirms Boone’s return to the island (or mainland), and the poster points to the remainder of the MIA/dead characters returning to the show.
And finally, I have exciting and sad news bunched into one. The date has been pegged for the series finale of Lost: Wednesday, May 19th, 2010. I just shed and tear and swallowed the bittersweet taste.
Look forward to LOST: The Final Season this January on ABC.
