This video from ABC shows highlights of what happened before, during, and after the LOST Comic-Con panel.
Fans camped out 13 hours before the panel started, the painting-on-velvet guy plugged his website, and Josh Holloway, Michael Emerson, Nestor Carbonell, Jorge Garcia, and Darlton all chimed in with comments.
Damon and a Hurley impersonator have good ideas for what to do after the show is over:

LOST Season 6 promo poster, shown at Comic-Con
When a fan first posted video on YouTube which showed the whole LOST event at Comic-Con, ABC asked that the parts showing the video segments played during the panel be removed.
Those segments are now showing up separately on YouTube. But they might get pulled too, so enjoy them while you can.
I think this is all of them, except for the one showing the winner of the theme song contest, but if I find any more, I will post them.
This is an ad for Lost University. Enrollment begins on September 22:
This is Mysteries of the Universe: The Dharma Initiative, a fake quasi-documentary TV show (a take-off on Unexplained Mysteries?) narrated in conspiracy-theory tones. It’s the first in a series, and ABC will be releasing more.
They revealed the promo poster for Season 6:
Here’s a montage of fan-created content, some of it very funny:
Here’s another funny one, Michael Emerson’s fake audition tape for the role of Hurley:
Here are two fake ads which, along with the Kate on America’s Most Wanted clip, seem to have come from an alternate timeline. In the first, Hurley appears as the owner and CEO of Mr. Cluck’s, a fast-food chicken place, plugging a new dish inspired by his “recent trip to Australia.” Best line: “Ever since I won the lottery, I’ve had nothing but good luck.” The other ad is from Oceanic Airlines (motto “Our skies lead to your destiny”), proudly proclaiming “30 years with a perfect safety record.”
This video, done in the style of the annual tribute on the Oscars to notable people who have passed away, is “In Memory of” LOST characters who have died. The longest tribute is to Charlie, which may very well be meant as a tease, if the rumors that Charlie is coming back are true.
The promo poster is from Lostpedia.

Kate on "America's Most Wanted"
In this fake episode of America’s Most Wanted, shown at yesterday’s Comic-Con LOST panel, the show’s host claims that the night Kate blew up her father’s house, her father wasn’t there, but instead had sent his apprentice, Ryan Milner, to the house to lock up. It was Ryan, the host says, not Kate’s father Wayne, who was killed in the explosion.
What to make of this? I see three possibilities:
1. The video does not provide reliable information about the show — it is not “canon.” Comic-con videos have misled fans in the past, or
2. The writers led us to believe that Kate killed Wayne, but that may have been a clever bit of misdirection, prompting us to jump to conclusions that may not have actually been in the script. (Maybe someone who has a better memory than I do of the early shows can confirm if this is even possible), or
3. Kate did kill Wayne and there was no misdirection, but the America’s Most Wanted video came from an alternate (parallel?) time, one which we may enter in Season 6.

Speaking of TV Overmind, I recently contributed an article there, about the hunkalicious Gilles Marini, of “Sex and the City” and “Dancing With the Stars” fame, who is now exploring a new talent: Gilles Marini Finds His Voice

— They showed this video: Mysteries of the Universe
— New site to play with: Lost University
— Panel’s theme is fan appreciation. They played a montage of fan-created videos.
— They locked the show’s final scenes in a box!
— They may show characters in Season 6 that we haven’t seen since Season 1
— Winner of fan theme song contest announced
— Showed clip of Kate on America’s Most Wanted, a commercial from Oceanic Air, and Hurley’s restaurant
That’s it! I have to run, but I’ll be back tonight, and will look through whatever material is available by then.

It's the last time for LOST at Comic-Con
Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, the dynamic producing/writing duo known as “Darlton,” will be appearing at Comic-Con this Saturday, July 25, 2009, from 11:00 am to Noon. This will likely be a bittersweet event, because LOST has presented a panel every year at Comic-Con since 2004, the summer before LOST premiered, and this summer will be the very last time.
In an interview a few days ago, TV Guide asked Darlton if they were going to answer questions about Season 6:
Carlton Cuse: We’ll answer some questions and we’ll be evasive about some things. I mean, again, we want to find the fine line between teasing and spoiling.
Damon Lindelof: Up until Comic-Con, we’ve been answering those questions by saying, “We’re not talking about Season 6 until Comic-Con.” Now we will no longer be able to use that as an excuse so we’ll at the very least have to find a new dodge.
With 6,500 fans packing the hall, you can be sure there will be plenty of live reports going out via Twitter. Good places to check are #lost, #sdcc, #comiccon, and #comic-con.
When the video comes out, I’ll be looking for highlights and funny lines.
Speaking of funny lines, here’s a clip from last year’s event. Damon and Carlton were talking about a special feature on the Season 4 DVD which presented the flash-forwards in linear order, when they themselves suddenly flash-forwarded to the future:
… with my left eye! Ha ha, very good.
