(Darlton had mentioned earlier that they were done with time travel — see my post from May, Damon and Carlton talk about destiny and time loops — but I’m glad they confirmed it today. I’m looking forward to getting back to the character-centric stories.)
Can you believe that Season 5 is almost over? I don’t want it to end!
The Finale should be great, though.
Wednesday evening will start off with yet another clip/recap show, this one called Lost: A Journey in Time. From the press release, it sounds as if it will pick up where the last one left off, after the Losties returned to the Island.
Right after the clip show, the 2-hour Season 5 Finale, The Incident parts 1 & 2, will begin.
The Incident was written by our old friends Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. The director is Jack Bender, who has directed many of the best LOST episodes, including, among many others, all of the previous Season Finales, The Constant, The Man from Tallahassee (probably my all-time favorite episode), and most recently, Some Like it Hoth.
Here’s the trailer for the finale:
And here are some promo pictures (Contains spoilers, including one character I wasn’t expecting to see!):
Here’s a sneak peek that was leaked from the set. It looks like it might be rehearsal footage or an early take (?) shot by a bystander (?) on the set (Contains spoilers!)
