Misc

  • 'Recaps' is the wrong word. It should be 'reruns' or 'repeats.'
  • should bring the page back, season 5 has been confirmed, should be the same as Season 6, maybe could combine.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Snakes_on_an_escalator (talkcontribs) .

Yeah just bring it back and say Seasons 4-6 have been confirmed, yadayadayada.. scheduled to begin February 2009 lasting 16 episodes. --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 06:15, 7 May 2007 (PDT)

  • Why is Lost season 5 only going to be 16 epsiodes long when the first 3 seasons are 24, 25 episodes long? --Pacific Gilly 1992 08:31, 18 May 2007 (PDT)
  • Dont ya think its pointless to have a page that isnt going to have any major developments for the next couple years just sitting around? I think season 5/6 should be deleted, or at least made into a sort of "Future Lost Programming" page. DeGroot 18:51, 18 May 2007 (PDT)
    • I think the point is that if any information ever comes up about Season 5, there is a place to put it. {{SUBST:User:Mjuice/autosig}} 16:52, 6 April 2008 (PDT)

Updated needed

It's now confirmed that Season 5 will contain 17 episodes --Hunter61 03:40, 10 May 2008 (PDT)

However, Damon and Carlton recently said that this was their intention, but was still far from being considered a signed deal. Source, possible spoilers behind link!--Nevermore 11:26, 17 May 2008 (PDT)
  • It has also been confirmed that season 6 will have 17 episodes too--Niconstant 22:25, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

CC and Damon said...

Ok, in some podcast (may 7? may 8? can't remember) Carlton and Damon stated that season 5 will deal a lot more with DHARMA. ¿Is that enough to mention it in a quick sentence in the article?. Semi-off-topic, I like how each season deals with a different entity: 1) Losties 2) Tailies 3) Others 4) Freighties 5) DHARMA (supposedly)--Ainulindale 12:27, 1 June 2008 (PDT)

I think that the losties on the island go back in time to the Dharma days and that is where the Dharma Booth Video takes place and Pierre Chang gets all of his knowledge from the future.That is what I think the TPTB were talking about season 5 being more about Dharma.--CharlieReyes23 10:09, 7 December 2008 (PST)

If the people on this wiki read Dark's spoilers, their heads would frickin explode from all the strange and crazy things that are going to be coming in Season 5. --The Cartographer 11:27, 7 December 2008 (PST)

Confirmed cast

Is it yet appropriate to discussed confirmed returning cast? I think it's obvious that Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Emerson, Jorge Garcia, Naveen Andrews, Yunjin Kim and Terry O'Quinn will at the very least be back for 1 episode each :) Plus the news media has reported a few times that Emilie de Ravin is skipping a year, only guesting in S5 and coming back fulltime in S6. I don't want to know if Daniel Dae Kim is coming back or not yet because that would spoil me since his was the fate left in doubt (spoilers bad!), but what about any of the other characters? --Jeff 16:44, 9 June 2008 (PDT)

According to a few interviews with Harold Perrineau (Michael) it looks like his character is good and dead and will not be returning next season.  Jimbo the Tubby  talk  contributions  21:26, 9 June 2008 (PDT)

Yeah I saw a few interviews with him, he seemed angrier this time than last timee ... I doubt we'll even get a gues shot from him in S5 now. Poor Walt, haha Now that the O6's stories seem to be taking place in 2007, maybe we'll see an appropriately aged MDK back full time? After all Ben did say they ALL have to go back, right? --Jeff 18:38, 10 June 2008 (PDT)
That's my hope/thought, but I'll wait until seeing official confirmation about it.  Jimbo the Tubby  talk  contributions  18:43, 10 June 2008 (PDT)

Hello I'm back after a few months of Lost withdrawl! If nobody else minds, I was considering keeping track of the cast and recurring guest appearance count on this talk page again this season, just like I did in Seasons 3 and 4. Hope everyone had an an enjoyable summer and fall! --Jeff 21:00, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

January?

The page lists Season 5 as begining in February, but I'm sure I heard that it was starting in late January. I don't remember where I heard this, but I think it was even before they added the 17th hour to the 5th series.--JDMCMAMC 06:14, 11 June 2008 (PDT)

  • There is a german website which confirms January 5 2009 due to an official confirmation from ABC DerAndre green       14:02, 18 June 2008 (PDT)
  • It has been confirmed that season 5 will air on Wednesday, January 21st, 2009--Niconstant 22:25, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Broken Link

The ABC press release no longer seems to be associated with the link provided, nor was I able to find another press release regarding Season 5 on the site. --GrammarGal 14:50, 1 July 2008 (PDT)

S5E01 (SPOILER REMOVED)

The Season 5 premiere episode title has been revealed by EW's Doc Jensen. {SPOILER REMOVED) --Jonathan_Fakenham 12 Aug 2008

  • I thought last season we agreed that episode titles weren't spoilers because they are so vague that they don't give anything away. (Like "The Constant" doesn't tell us what a constant is, "Meet Kevin Johnson" doesn't tell us who Kevin is, or "The Brig" doesn't tell us which brig or what happens there). Also, the name of Season 5 episode 1 is already listed elsewhere on this site so I think it's moot. --Jeff 21:07, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Promo Pictures

Does anybody know the general time that promo photos will be released for season 5? I don't remember when they came out last year. -- LostCloverfield42  Talk  15:06, 19 August 2008 (PDT)

Not quite sure. Most likely toward the end of this year, like November/December, if I had to guess. -- Sam McPherson  T  C  E  15:15, 19 August 2008 (PDT)
They have already been released on various websites. I think they have been taken by local bypassers. --TRUETECH 16:50, 14 September 2008 (PDT)
If you're referring to the new pictures put up on the main character articles (like Ben or Jack for example) then no, those are newly released season 4 promo pics. Season 5's will be out closer to it's premiere. BETTYFIZZW (Talk) 19:22, 14 September 2008 (PDT)

I see we have them now. It would have been so much cooler, though, if the off-island characters were neatly groomed and wearing nice clothes and stuff, and the on-island characters were still all grubby and savage. Scarecrow 21:09, 13 December 2008 (PST)

HQ Season 5 Promo Pictures

  • They can be found on this forum, along with some others too. [1]

Season 5 Trailer

A promo clip for Season 5 has turned up at DarkUFO. The clip is located here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yummsh (talkcontribs) .

Promo Poster

There's been a promo poster released. Would that count as a spoiler or not, and if it is not, should it be added? It's pretty similar to the one for season four as well... --corvus_lizard 14:42, 19 November 2008 (PST)

The Fray promo video and new company

http://spoilerslost.blogspot.com/2008/11/new-season-5-promo-and-fray-music-video.html

Contains a brief flash of the logo of this fictious company: [2]

Should we start a page on them, or would this qualify as a "spoiler" because of the promo clip?--Nevermore 02:50, 21 November 2008 (PST)

Already a page, written by two sysops. I originally locked the company name's article, but in hindsight another sysop suggested removal and I agreed. It doesn't count as a spoiler, as its been released as part of promotional material and all we know is the company name, their website, the slogan and the launch date etc. It doesn't immediately spoil anything about Season 5 and 6 (like a character name or bio would, or a scene directly taken from Season 5)like some of the other content in the promotional clip. Page for Ajira Airways is already there. -- Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  06:38, 21 November 2008 (PST)

No Jin

Not on the poster = not in the cast. For now. --Pyramidhead 18:26, 22 November 2008 (PST)

  • He could have been demoted to recurring cast member. Rose and Bernard are still alive and part of the show, but not on any poster cover. Jin could be back-burnering it until Sun returns to the island. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Writerstix (talkcontribs) 04:00, 9 December 2008.
  • Not necessarily. Maybe it was just to keep the mystery up. --Blueeagleislander 20:45, 8 December 2008 (PST)
  • We don't even know if Jin is alive. If he is, then he probably wouldn't be on the poster to keep the mystery up probably. --TheEyeland 01:48, 14 December 2008 (PST)
  • With no promotional pictures (check out any current character, click on their picture, and then get to the Category of Season 5 Pictures) of Jin, I think he will not be coming back, unfortunately. Sorry. LOST-David 02:22, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Claire isn't on the poster along with Jin. However unlike Jin whose whereabouts was unknown at the end of series 4. Claire was in Jacobs cabin. Why is she not on the poster??????? Its really frustrating

  • She's not on the poster because she not in the main cast for S5. The producers said like 6 months ago that de Ravin has a holding contract during this period. She may make some cameos in S5 though as per what the Producers said.
  • aaron is not on the poster as well--Niconstant 22:25, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
  • The reason Aaron, Rose and Bernard are not on the poster is because they are not played by actors credited on the show as main cast. Rebecca Mader (who IS on the poster) may be listed by ABC-issued press releases as recurring, but that may just be due to legal mumbo-jumbo in her contract; the producers list her with the main cast and treat her as such, IE placement in the credits, promo shots, etc.
And as for Daniel Dae Kim, I agree with Eyeland, if Jin is alive they are probably purposely holding back promo shots so as not to spoil it. You may recall that there were three versions of the Season 2 poster: One with just the Season 1 cast, one with Ana-Lucia, Mr. Eko and Libby added, and one with Shannon, Ana-Lucia and Libby deleted at the end of the season. The same thing happened with the Season 3 art, when they re-released it with Eko replaced by Juliet, Paulo and Nikki. If Jin is still alive, it's possible he will be added to the poster later in the season or on the DVD box; if Jin's dead, it'll likely stay as it is. --Jeff 21:21, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Seventeen

  • The article currently cites a planned 17 episodes, yet there is no source, and I am having trouble finding one. I did find a recent source citing seventeen HOURS, which may mean 16 episodes if a 2-hour finale is considered. There is also some confusion on whether the premiere will be 2 hours of new episode or 1 hour recap + 1 hour new episode. Could someone clarify this with some solid references? Paste the URLs here. -- Contrib¯ _Santa_ ¯  Talk  12:07, 10 December 2008 (PST)
In regards to the second point, it's three hours. See an entry from DarkUFO. --Blueeagleislander 15:45, 10 December 2008 (PST)

Charlotte

Charlotte is on the poster, but Wikipedia says she will be a guest star rather than a regular in Season Five. Why? - Tristan0709 18:48, 12 December 2008 (PST)

Claire wasn't billed as a regular in Season 1 until "Homecoming", after her kidnapping. Yet she was still in the promo poster. My best guess is Charlotte isn't present for a few episodes during Season 5.--Baker1000 19:08, 12 December 2008 (PST)

Wikipedia doesn't have it sourced, so I wouldn't put too much faith in it until they cite something for it.  Jimbo the Tubby  talk  contributions  19:28, 12 December 2008 (PST)

The part I read says ABC haven't listed her as a cast member, and it gives this source [3].--Baker1000 19:47, 12 December 2008 (PST)
