LOST 5.09 “Namaste” pre-game

Was that the longest two weeks ever, or what?

Lost returns tonight from its one-week speed bump, with episode 5.09, titled “Namaste.” Things look to get a lot more complicated for Dharma Sawyer, aka “James LaFleur,” and all his time traveling pals, when the Oceanic 6 make their return known to the living-in-1977 inhabitants of the island. Here’s some pre-game fun to get you in the mood…

• Doc Jensen has posted his usual warmup/theorizing on this week’s ep over at EW.com.
• A teaser-laden interview with actress Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet) has been published by TV Guide.
• Here’s a brief sneak peek at a pivotal scene from “Namaste.”
• And if you need to be reminded of what happened in the last episode, here’s my detail-filled recap.
