Comic-Con Lost Tidbits

No huge news was leaked at Comic-con this year. The biggest news was spoiled a day early when media and critics clawed the information from ABC that Harold P. would be returning. Lindelof and Cuse said that Michael will be a full series regular again and that he would appear sometime in the first four episodes. They wouldn't say if he was returning in flash-forwards or in real time.

The flash forwards have always been a part of the plan, but they couldn't introduce them until they had an end date because the story have a very specific frame from this point forward and ruining that surprise early could have caused a lot of story-filler and tap dancing.

Some other bits:

Ben didn't intend to get swept up in Daniele's net in season 2. It was an accident. The big reveal though is still to come because the question we should be asking is "Where was Ben heading."

Daniele's story will be told in the future, but some other things have to sync up with another person first.

Next season will have flash backs and flash forwards, but the most important news about the time line is that the scene with Jack and Kate in the finale is NOT the end of Lost. They will flash every further forward.

No word on who was in the coffin or who exactly is on the freighter.

Libby's story will resurface in season 4. There were some hints that she had significant ties to DHARMA. That's important because she obviously had something to do with Desmond ending up on the island and something to do with Hurley in the mental hospital. They assure us this will be a very good reveal.

Not too much was mentioned about Jacob or Annie or any of the climatic events leading up to the finale which is disappointing since we have so much longer to wait than usual...BUT, I'd rather know too little than too much.

OUT!
