In yesterday's official LOST podcast (iTunes link here or ABC's page) Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse answer a viewer's question about Smokey. Their answer is that YES we will see more Smoke Monster and YES we will learn what it is. Woo Hoo!!

Finally, we've reached the beginning of the next-to-the-last season. Only 34 short hours of LOST are left for us to enjoy.

I think the first hour of tonight's two-episode season-premiere is one of the best LOST eps we've had yet!

After you've seen the premiere, come back here and let us know what you think.

We will be podcasting about 5.1 ("Because You Left") and 5.2 ("The Lie") on Thursday, so come back for that!

Last November you may remember my post about the weird subliminal messages for Ajira Airways in the Season Five Sneak Preview.

Have you visited the Ajira site lately? I went there after receiving a friendly email last week.

http://ajiraairways.com/

You will see a commercial for the airline embedded on the site, AND, if you look close you will see this flash frame:

What does this all mean? A clue for season five?

I found this site that's deciphering the clues

OK, there is a new trailer for the 2009 Season of LOST. This one features some old footage mixed with a music video from The Fray. It's kind of a cool recap of what happened last season, but what's even better are the pseudo-subliminal logos that pop-up though out the clip.

Logos for Ajira Airways. What the heck is this?

The video:

They wonderfully point out the cool things in episode 4.5 such as the references to "Slaughterhouse Five," the importance of The Black Rock, the new Hanso family member (from the auction scene), mentions of Charles Dickens, the overuse of "the numbers" and a theory of who might have opened the door on the ship. Was it THAT guy over there ---->?

Via Wired, Via ABC, Lost executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof reveal these OMG previews:

• The identity of the body in the coffin from Jack's flash-forward will be revealed.
• By the end of the seventh episode all the Oceanic 6 survivors will be revealed, answering the question as to whether Ben and baby Aaron are considered part of the Oceanic 6.
• You won't find out who or what Jacob is until the final two seasons.
• The five new episodes the producers are set to shoot now that the writers strike is over will emphasize the original cast, including Michael, who finally returns.

Also, Jorge Garcia (Hurley) says that episode seven will be the MOST SHOCKING episode yet.

I can't wait!!!

"D.O.C." is the name of tonight's episode, and I am really looking forward to it. Previews seem to indicate some good stuff is coming.

At EW.com, these comments intrigued me:

"Tonight, we will make a return visit to the Medical Hatch, and discover a secret room that Kate and Claire missed on their last visit."

"Jin will do kung fu on someone you thought was dead, but is very much alive."

"The very last scene of the episode, you're going to hear something that makes your head spin."

And from the preview at ABC.com:
"Sun discovers the identity of her unborn child's father after being examined by Juliet. Meanwhile, Desmond allows an unlikely foe to help save the life of a mysterious new island inhabitant."
