The light-filled cave
ABC is going to rerun the LOST Finale and also the Jimmy Kimmel post-LOST special (“Aloha to Lost”) on Saturday, May 29, 2010, starting at 8:00 PM (7:00 PM Central Time) in the U.S.
The running time for the finale has shrunk down from 2 hours and 30 minutes, for the original broadcast, to only 2 hours and 5 minutes for the rerun. That must mean far fewer commercials this time around.
Here’s the schedule, but you should check your local listings to make sure:
8:00 – 10:05 PM Rerun of the LOST finale 6×17-18 The End
10:05 – 11:00 PM Rerun of Aloha to Lost, the Jimmy Kimmel post-show
Thanks to Geri for the heads up!

How will it end? We'll find out soon enough ...
It’s almost here…
The finale will be from 9:00 to 11:30 in the U.S. (an hour earlier Central Time). It will also air in the UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and Israel simultaneously with the U. S. West Coast broadcast, and in Canada simultaneously with the U.S. East Coast.
The U.S. Finale Night will have five-and-a-half hours of programming: the two-and-a-half-hour finale itself, a two-hour pre-show, and a one-hour post-show on Jimmy Kimmel.

Past and present cast members will share their experiences working on the show and their thoughts on its coming to an end. Also examined will be the dynamic characters, themes and innovative storytelling, plus an extensive look at what has transpired during the current season as a primer leading into the finale.

The “enhanced” version of both parts of the original Season 1 Pilot will be showing tonight in the U.S. from 8:00 to 10:00 PM. (an hour earlier Central Time).

“Enhanced” means they will be showing the sometimes-helpful sometimes-obvious pop-up hints at the bottom of the screen.

Locke, Walt, and the backgammon set (1x02)
They usually do a lot of cross-referencing in pop-up hints, pointing out how something we’re watching relates to something else in a different episode. Because the enhanced episodes are normally the most recent, those cross-references have always pointed to episodes that came before. I’m curious to see how it will work tonight — if they will cross-reference the Pilot to episodes that came after.

Awk. It’s making me sad to see these pictures. I miss the LOST-ies already.

In the United States, the finale will be broadcast from 9 to 11:30 PM. Sky1 and Sky1 HD will air it in the United Kingdom simultaneously with the U.S. West Coast (Pacific Time) which means it will be starting at 5 AM in the UK. Get that coffeepot ready!
Sky1 will air the Finale again on Tuesday, May 25, at 9 PM and on Friday in the regular LOST time slot.
Here’s the complete list of stations that will be broadcasting the finale at the same time as the U.S. West Coast: Sky1 in the UK, Fox Italia and Telecom Italia in Italy, Cuatro in Spain, Fox in Spain and Portugal, Digiturk in Turkey, and HOT in Israel.
