LOST: Season 5 hype heats up

I’ve got a trio of great Lost interviews to share with you today, from all around the Net, which demonstrate just how high the Hype Meter has risen in anticipation of Season 5’s premier next Wednesday.

The first (and probably best) is by The Chicago Tribune’s Maureen Ryan, aka “The Watcher,” who talks at length with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. She has quite the in-depth interview with them, despite giving away no spoilers for the coming season. She manages to pull lots of tantalizing hints out of them, though, and even gets them to go on the record about what’s coming in Season 6.

Next up is a one-on-one with Matthew Fox from Details magazine. He talks about how much he enjoys working on the show, and says it’s a “relief” knowing that there are only two more seasons to go, that there is a definitive ending to his character’s storyline and the overall story of the show. Get inside details about Fox’s view of Jack Shephard here.

Last, New York magazine offers yet another interview with Michael Emerson. He reveals that the Temple will be seen this season on Lost, and his belief that the Others will be depicted as “less malevolent as time goes by.” Read more of his intriguing thoughts and revelations (how awesome is it that he’s a Battlestar Galactica fan?!).

Stay tuned… Lots more updates to come as the news flies fast and furious…
