New Season 5 promotional pictures

Lyly Ford Blog turned up ten new promotional pictures for Season Five. The pics are individual profile shots that match the cast shots from the Season Five poster (that “Destiny Calls” one you’ve probably seen a dozen times by now), which were obviously Photoshopped together to create the poster. Here’s your chance to see each character image from that poster solo, if that strikes your fancy. Note that these are not official ABC images, but instead appear to be the cut-and-paste (but still very professional looking) concoction of a TV network in Brazil, using the Destiny Calls poster as source material. But they still turn up a few interesting tidbits…

The links and some commentary after the jump.

The first batch of pics includes Locke, Sawyer, Jack, Ben, Farraday, and Charlotte. Batch #2 features Hurley, Kate (who’s showing off some wicked creepy arms & hands when you zoom in — I’m sure it’s just bad lighting or something, but seriously, one looks burned, the other looks gray and dead), Miles, and Desmond (who’s taken advantage of some product since leaving the island). That just leaves Sayid, Sun, and Juliette; I’m sure those pics will turn up sooner or later.

And also (POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING)… I’d bet real money that Daniel Dae Kim (aka Jin) was photographed at this shoot as well, but Darlton opted to leave him out of the poster so as not to spoil the “is he or isn’t he dead?” debate. I’ll even go so far as to predict that a few months from now, after the Jin question has been answered, ABC will release an updated version of the “Destiny Calls” that includes Jin in that conspicuously empty spot beside Miles on the far right. (END SPOILERS.)

Now I’m sure some people are going to immediately scour these images for clues about Season 5 that they believe to have been deviously planted there by the show’s producers. But I’m sure none of those wildly obsessive people are reading this, right? (Kate’s creepy arms are just bad lighting, I’m sure. I mean, that’s all it is, isn’t it? Right? Hey, maybe I’ll go look one more time…)
