    Damon and Carlton @ Comic con

    Lost bosses Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse pop in from the future to appear on the season four DVDs.

    Lost Panel Q & A

    Lost show runners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are here to take your fan questions here and, apparently, give out relevant prizes, and it'll all be liveblogged here!

    Q's and A's are paraphrased. This will be updated frequently, so check back often. Vids of key moments coming soon.

    Q: When the hatch imploded and the sky turned purple? Did the Island move then?
    A: No. But something happened. Prize: Oceanic water bottle.

    Q: What is the fate of Jin and Locke?
    A: Jin will still be on the show in some form. You've not seen the last of either of those characters. Prize: Jin panda bear.

    Q: Best episode and best season, in your opinion?
    Carlton: "The Constant" is my favorite episode, and season one.
    Damon: "Exodus" and the raft launch before the show disintegrated into utter despair. I also like season four. Prize: Apollo bar and Apollo bar T-shirt.

    Q: What's up with the reflection in the season four promos where the city was in the reflection in the water?
    A: That was all about the Oceanic Six getting off the Island. Prize: Heroes DVD

    Q: Will there be a Rousseau flashback?
    A: We will see Rousseau's story, to use the word flashback might be disingenious. Damon: We're steering away from the flashes. Prize: I Am Lost luggage tags.

    Q: What's up with the actors strike?
    A: We're supposed to start in three weeks at least until further notice changes that plan. Prize: Photo of Nikki & Paolo.

    Q: Any special guests this year?
    A: No actors. Sorry. Prize: Actor-signed DVD box set.

    Q: What happened to Vincent?
    A: What about what happened the Island and Sawyer and Juliet? Vincent's OK and will appear in season five. Safe to say: Vincent's gonna make it to the end. Prize: Little polar bear.

    Q: Are Jack and Kate your show's one true pariring?
    A: Carlton: Personally I like those two, professionally I'm going to take the Fifth. Prize: Jack action figure.

    Ah, we've been had again. MATTHEW FOX is so totally here. Photos coming soon!

    Q: Will Kate ever see Sawyer again?
    DL: Not if Jack has anything to say about it. CC: Yes. Kate will see Sawyer again. Prize: Signed poster.

    Q: What happened to non-speaking "beachies" who were ferried over to the blowed-up boat from the season four finale?
    A: They dead. Faraday is probably gonna be OK. Prize: Authentic Faraday tie.

    Damon Q to Matthew Fox: Do you know the meat-socks/redshirts, i.e. those who died on the boat?
    MF: Yep. They're always there and very professional.

    Q: Is there a limit to how far the flashes can go back and forth in time?
    A: We're going to tell stories in a new and exciting way. This year, when season five starts, you're not going to know when and where you are. CC: There will be storytelling both on and off the Island and in different periods of time. Guy who makes wooshing sound will remain employed. Prize: Hanso Foundation hat.

    Q: Just between me and you, how does this show end?
    A: It ends well, we hope.
    Q: Can I have some Jin?
    DL: The alcohol or the character?
    Prize: Dharma beer

    Q: How old is Richard Alpert and does he have six toes?
    A: Not tellin'. We will see Richard Alpert barefoot in the very near future and that's pun intended: the very near future. Prize: "I asked a Richard Alpert question and all I got was this lousy T-shirt" T-shirt

    Damon Q to Matthew Fox: How old do you think Richard Alpert is?
    MF: 125 years old. DL: Wrong.

    Q: Regarding Locke's pseudonym of Jeremy Bentham, and one of his big things was the panopticon, are the people on the Island people being watched and by who?
    A: Good question. [Interrupted by new Martin Candle video drama. That video? Coming soon right here!]

    That's all for now kiddos. Check back soon for photos and video from the panel and in the not-too-distant future, my exclusive backstage interview with Mr. Matthew Fox himself! In the meantime, post your comments and Q's on the panel below, and we'll work on dragging more answers out of the powers that be in the very near future.

    "Lost" captures 8 Emmy nominations

    The fourth season of "Lost," ABC's made-in-Hawaii drama, scored eight Emmy Award nominations this morning, including one for best drama series and a supporting-actor nod for Michael Emerson, who plays the mysterious Ben Linus.

    The show was not nominated for writing or directing; the other nominations were for editing, cinematography, sound editing and sound mixing, plus Michael Giacchiano was nominated for musical composition. The eighth nomination was in the category of Special Class -- Short-format Live-action Entertainment Programs, for "Lost: Missing Pieces," mini-episodes posted online at www.abc.com.

    Season 4 was viewed as a comeback season for "Lost," which floundered with viewers and critics last year. Emerson's mesmerizing performance as Ben, the brilliant leader of the Others whose motives are always obscure, was one of the primary factors. He was also nominated last year but did not win; Terry O'Quinn took the Emmy for his role as John Locke.

    Emerson won an Emmy in 2001 for a guest role as a serial killer on "The Practice."

    Also nominated as top dramatic series were "Boston Legal," "Damages," "Dexter," "House," and "Mad Men."

    Nominated with Emerson are William Shatner, "Boston Legal"; Ted Danson, "Damages"; Zeljko Ivanek, "Damages"; and John Slattery, "Mad Men."

    Choose your Dharmaholic 6

    We have set up our very own Lost fantasy league...

    But where would be the fun in having a standard league like every other LOST site?

    No.... we are doing this the shotglass way!!!


    You pick a team of 6 LOST characters..(the Dharmaholic 6) You will get points(pints) every episode one of your team has a drink/pours a drink/appears drunk/is seen in a bar... Your team member can only score once per episode and not per drink(I know everyone will just pick Jack and think they can pick up easy points)...not so fast!! Every character is given a numerical value on the likelyhood of him/her downing some Dharmahol,so you could go for the easy option of picking Yeti-Jack etc and build a steady but small haul of points...but who knows what will happen to our Losties in the new season..take a few chances...at the rate Walt is growing he could be chugging a 6-pack the next time we see him..(Aaron flashforward in a bar getting Jack-Faced with Ji-Yeon?..Mega points) There are 6 groups to pick from..(pick one from each...) There will be a chance to substitute 2 drinkers half way through the season,in case one or more of your picks die or are not appearing as much as the other characters!

    And MASSIVE thanks to NOTLOST for this brilliant idea!!
