Whoa. Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, show-runners (read: millionaires) of Lost, have publicly stated that the sixth season (premiering Feb. 2, write it down) will be the final season. So what is all this S about? From an interview with the Hollywood Reporter (via iO9):
Cuse: The Walt Disney Co. owns “Lost.” It’s a franchise that’s conservatively worth billions of dollars. It’s hard to imagine “Lost” will rest on the shelves and nothing will ever be made with “Lost.” Eventually somebody will make something under the moniker of “Lost” — whether we do it or not. We just made a commitment to this group of characters whose stories are coming to a conclusion this May.
Lindelof: Somebody made a sequel to “Gone With the Wind.” Sometimes the franchise transcends the storyteller. The definitive edition of “Lost” ends this May on ABC, and that is the story that we have to tell. It has a beginning, middle and end. That ending will not have cliffhangers, or be set up in such a way that people will be saying, “Clearly they’re going to make more of these.” We don’t have any connection to another TV series or movie, but there’s a new “A-Team” movie coming out, for god’s sake. This is a business that thrives on known commodities. “Tron” is the most buzzed-about Disney movie for next year, and it has been gathering dust for 20 years. I cannot imagine there will not be something with “Lost” on it involving smoke monsters and polar bears and time travel.
Whuuuuuut?! More Lost?! But based on Gone with the Wind? That’s what he’s saying, right? So it’s going to be tedious, overtly racist, and no one is going to understand what the big deal was? Got it.
And some more predictions for Lost: The Next Generation:
- Robin Williams will open a luxury vacation resort on the Island, and every room will come with color TIME TRAVEL.
- Unruly teenagers will be sent to the island with explosive collars around their necks and be forced to fight to the death but also TIME TRAVEL.
- Lost Babies
- Walt and Vincent will grow up to be the next generation of Charles Widmores and Ben Linuses, fighting for control of the Island’s future. But then Vincent will be called away by the Space Program.
- Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan will hold an Intergalactic basketball competition on the Island.
- Time Hobbits?
Oh man, you guys, I can’t wait until Hollywood RUINS Lost. This guy knows what I’m talking about:
Listen to me, Donny Wahlberg, we aren’t supposed to be here! We have to go back to th–[tidal wave]

You get it? I don’t get it.
IN A dramatic CHARACTER arc, Charlie TRIES TO kick his CAFFEINE PILL habit because HE’S JUST “tearing THE BAND apart!”
Charlie’s so excited! He’s…so… scared!
LOST for Wii. Fight the smoke monster!
Zombie-Nikki and Vampire-Paulo.
Uh oh: LOST/TWILIGHT/NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD CROSSOVER anyone?
SOMEONE BEST check the INTERNET for that fan-fiction or slash.
I BET that shit exists.
I think I’m the only person in the world who was sad to see the Nikki/Paulo story come to an end. But really, I was just sad I wouldn’t be getting a weekly Rodrigo Santoro fix.
ABC/Disney also owns “Fantasy Island.” “Ze plane. Ze plane.” This stuff writes itself.
LOST FEATURING JIM HENSON’S MUPPETS
yes. more of this. but i can’t really see the standard Muppet characters in the roles? Kermit as Jack? huh? Piggy as Kate? no way. Fozzie woul be fine as Hurley thouh… How about lost but just with Muppet Penguins and Chickens and only speaking with squacks and clucks?

Oh Bruthah, When Art Thou?
First off, I loves Lost Babies! Or Lost: TEENS. Turns out Jack’s a sparkly vampire and Kate just can’t chose between him and Werewolf Sawyer. Also Echo is re-invented as a sassy girl who, though she’s older than the other kids is still their go-to big sister when they need advice or have problems with the selfish Locke.
The only reasonable place this could go is LOST: Port of Call New Orleans.
I personally can’t wait for the feature length Family Guy LOST spoof. Actually, yes I can.
There HAS to be a movie in the works about AirFrance crashing on the island that’s equally as exploitative as “United 93″ and the other 9/11 movies. I’m looking at you, Michael Bay.
The Fresh Prince of The Island
Now this is a story all about how
my life got flip turned upside down
Now I know you wanna hear it, I can see from you’re smile and
I’ll tell how I became the price of a magical island.
In northern Los Angeles, born and raised.
I had daddy issues my early days.
Chilling out, maxing, relaxin’ all cool
Then I grew up and went on to medical school.
When my deadbeat dad, he was up to know good.
Drank way than he knew he should.
He got a heart attack and I got scared and said
“I’m gonna get his body and bring it back in up the air”
I was flying to Sydney and when I got near
The plane started falling and I got overcome with fear
If anything I could say these passengers were rare
and now we’re all stuck and can’t get off here.

oooh doublepost. better downgrade myself.

AfterLOST: the gang reunites stateside, but still on an island (Manhattan?), and then get canceled halfway through season 2. Oh, and TIME TRAVEL.
Any guesses as to which character would go for a “Joey” style spinoff? My money’s on Sayid.
Spielberg will re-release it, replacing all the guns with walkie talkies.

I think the obvious choice for a spin-off is to have Hurley open a golf resort and hold celebrity tournaments. Think of the guest stars!
Okay, guys, I have a confession to make: I’ve never watched Lost, because I saw the name J. J. Abrams and was like, “no thanks.” But all you monsters have such good taste in things, and you seem to really love this show. Should I try to watch all of the seasons before this one premieres, or are there any of you who think that this show is overrated? Is it really that amazing? Please tell me what to do.
Yes, it is that amazing, and yes, watching the series in sequential order is imperative.
I have a friend who tried to jump in in the middle of season two or three and he was like “yeah…I don’t know I watched and episode where that heavy guy with the curly hair is binge eating on all this stuff and I was like ‘yeah, they were in a plane crash and that guy’s got all this food and hasn’t lost any weight’….I don’t know, seems lame”. I didn’t bother trying to explain.
I just watched all five seasons in 30 days (I totally missed my deadline on those TPS reports) and it was wonderful to not get frustrated like everyone else by the slow drip of revelations cause for me it wasn’t that slow. So do it!
I thought the same thing as you, that it sounded stupid and wasn’t worth my time. Buttttttttt then I watched it and it was totally worth it.
2 warnings though:
1) be prepared to set aside large quantities of time because once you get started, you will want to watch hours of it straight. a coworker of mine lived off of energy drinks for about a week because he was staying up all night to watch the dvds.
2) try to avoid reading/hearing anything more about it until you watch it. one of the best things about lost is how it punches you in the guy with these incredibly emotional reveals and if you know anything at all, it can ruin it. for example, the reveal in the 2nd season premiere was mind boggling at the time, but if you have just passively picked up information from other people talking about it, it’s not that surprising.
yikes with the bold.
Lost Muppet Babies already exists:

YES. DO IT. J.J. Abrams actually had little to no involvement after season 1 (and even then really only the first couple episodes), if it’s truly him that’s turns you off. Though 5 seasons is a lot to watch in a month!
Season 3 is a little “meh” (though there are great parts!) but after the first two seasons you come to love the characters so much that it almost doesn’t matter, and seasons 4 and 5 are craaaazy in the BEST way. Though if anything you have to watch Lost just for the !!!!-ness of Benjamin Linus/Michael Emerson. (and TIME TRAVEL, of course)
ugh, #videogumcommentfail. I wish I could TIME TRAVEL back and stop myself. (also KILL HITLER, natch)
Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.
The island turns out to be that of Dr. Moreau. Desmond + polar bear= major cuddles!
The castaways will put aside their differences and time travel and put on a rag tag production of Jesus Christ: Superstar?

Who turned on the party game up in here!?

Whoa. They took the BSG Last Supper idea. Come on, ABC! Something new for the last season please.

I dont think anyone let LOST promoters know that Battlestar Galactica already did the cast-last supper thing.
