Your Weekly New LOST Television Promo

In what has become a weekly occurrence, ABC has released a new television promo for the fifth season premiere of LOST. Only 24 more days to go until the January 25th airing. Thanks to SL-Lost for the tip.

  • How far would you go....for a Klondike Bar.
  • I always get little chills watching these promos... soooo can't wait for Lost to be back!!

    LOST needs help. What's disturbing and sad to me is how popular such pretentious and ultimately weak writing is. Sure, it has plenty of clever moments, but if you take the bird's eye view of the show, it has devolved into such utter and complete sci-fi silliness, and exercises such little plot restraint (no matter what their secrets are), those who enjoy it must be doing so on solely sentimental or trivial sensationalist thrills alone. Seriously people - they want to go "back" to the island? At the end of season 4, Jack suddenly had an epiphany and said "they had to lie," for no reason at all. That's the biggest problem with LOST - characters change motivations and reasons constantly "for no reason at all." When they can't resolve things with the incredibly sloppy and undisciplined structure they've established, they invent a new character out of nowhere and add connections between imaginary family relationships between existing characters. If you take it seriously, it is because you somehow really want to. Every episode I've ever seen has gigantic plot holes, even within the extremely loose and silly universe they have created.
  • Wow, for hating the show so much, you seem to know a lot about it. Listen, man, its a TV show. It's escapist entertainment, much like a Dan Brown novel. Everyone knows Dan Brown is a horrible writer, but he gets you hooked and keeps you interested. But LOST is much better than a Dan Brown novel, and a lot more coherent than you give it credit for.

    As for creating "imaginary family relationships," part of the point of the island is that all these people were meant to be there, they are all connected somehow.

    As well, I don't know if you were paying attention, but Jack said they had to lie so that they could protect the other people on the island from people like Charles Widmore, who killed a lot of the people on the island. Not to mention the fact that even if they told the truth no one one would believe them. Their lie is actually more believable.

    Anyway, dude. Stop being a hater. Just because something is popular doesn't mean you have to trash it.
  • Jack doesn't lie for no reason, so your post isn't really establishing credibility.

    Maybe watching it again would help? I know there are many things that when you re watch the show you can catch. They seemed like plot holes at the time, but make sense later on.

    For example, at the end of season 1, there is an episode where the island is taking away Locke's use of his legs. When you re watch the episode, you find that the island is attempting to tell Locke to not open the hatch. It doesn't open from his trebuchet and the island gives him a vision leading him away from the hatch. When Locke gets to the plane that Boone ultimately dies in, the island takes away his legs, pulling him to the ground. What is not realized at the time is there is another station, this one just right under Locke, that would have shown him what was in the hatch he so desperately wanted to open. Ultimately, Locke's inability to do as the island demands causes the island to take Boone's life.

    Basically there's a lot of things you can really catch with LOST just by watching it a few times. It takes some time, but there are a lot of very intricate details provided by the writers. I'm not saying it's the best writing in the world, but it certainly isn't the worst.

    Lost is something you watch to more or less escape reality. It is more of a thinking mans show. However if you are not interested maybe you should tune out

    SAWYER: So, when you pulled us out of those polar bear cages and put us on the chain gang, what the hell you have us breaking all those rocks for anyway?

    JULIET: We were building a runway.
  • ??? where's that?
  • IchigoNL
    They said that in seasaon 3 when Sawyer and Kate were working outside. Now we see a plane there might be some connection..
  • Ash
    OMG!!! Seriously can't wait!!! :D
  • C'mon Pete, don't you get enough movie news traffic? Leave me some TV news traffic, would 'ja? ;-)

  • I'll admit these promos are very cool, I can see how a fan of the show would get excited. As for inciting a new audience to join the saga... not so much.
  • Well if you're not already a fan, it's probably not going to happen. I can't imagine the word of mouth can get any bigger for LOST, and they all would only have about 60 hours of episodes to catch up.
  • Sauce
    You say the 25th...The promo says 21st...You know something they don't?

    I don't think they are really trying to attract new people... I mean, every show wants new people, but they are appealing to the current fan base more than antyhing...realistically, if someone isnt watching the show at all right now, there is no way they would be caught up when this season starts. as for attracting new people, they are seriously relying on word of mouth, which is what has me hooked.
  • I wholeheartedly agree, 'Lost' is such an intricate television show that virtually every episode contains something viable and that to understand it all you have to have followed the show right from the off (unless you manage to convince potential fans to buy the boxsets and become fellow Lost-ites!).
  • I must watch season 4
  • marz
    shows like this and heroes with ongoing stories are hard to just pick up as a new show to watch.impossible even.theres to many questions to ask and u WOULD have to watch the other seasons to make sense of it.i love lost..even with it's crazy twists but a good story isn't told in a straight line.look how well pulp fiction did.that wasn't told in a straight line either.i think sin city kinda did the same thing.im glad i'm on 3rd shift at work now because before..i had to wait and watch it on line.i hated 2nd shift and those of you who work that shift know,if u watch a lot of prime time t.v., that's not the shift to be on.
  • I cannot wait for this to startup again.. This will be EPIC
  • For the aliens..
